Playlist Faves: Weightless

I may be nursing a mild case of karaoke hangover, lol. We celebrated my sister's boyfriend's birthday yesterday, KTV style, and it was pretty fun. We sang our hearts and lungs out as we lined up one song after another and took turns with the microphone.

Anyway, here is one song that I enjoy listening to lately. How really talented is Natasha Bedingfield?!

Her voice alone could beat a five-man band any day! This song is "Weightless," and just reminds me of the saying to always travel light -- leave any baggage behind that may be a burden for you on your life's journey.  Keep it light and easy (yes, I just quoted a radio station's tagline) ;)

The sky is the limit 

And I just wanna flow 

Free as a spirit on a journey of hope 

Cut the strings and let me go 

I'm weightless, I'm weightless 

Millions of balloons heading to the ground 

Weight of the world tries to hold us down 

Cut the strings and let me go 

I'm weightless, I'm weightless, 

I'm weightless, I'm weightless...

And just like a classic karaoke, scroll down for the rest of the lyrics and sing along with her on this :) The video is also followed by Natasha's live performance of "Unwritten" - one of her popular hits :)

"Weightless"

I have to keep reminding myself
I'm not like anyone else
That's my face on my ID
That makes me V.I.P.
No one exactly like this
No one with my fingerprints
No one can touch you like me
No I can't fake what you see

They told me: "Girl, to get you're way, you've got to be a bitch!"
They say that: "A guy won't get the girl, if he's not filthy rich!"
You stop with little changes,
'Til you don't know who you are
Surround yourself with friends
Who only call you a superstar
Oh yeah, oh yeah
(Ready, set, baby let's go)

The sky is the limit
And I just wanna flow
Free as a spirit on a journey of hope
Cut the strings and let me go
I'm weightless, I'm weightless
Millions of balloons heading to the ground
Weight of the world tries to hold us down
Cut the strings and let me go
I'm weightless, I'm weightless,
I'm weightless, I'm weightless...

All the things I held in my fist
If I don't let go, I don't exist
They've become the things that define me
How I look and the things to buy me
That's not important anymore
I feel me rising off the floor
Light as a feather, I'm carefree
I'm weightless...

The sky is the limit
And I just wanna flow
Free as a spirit on a journey of hope
Cut the strings and let me go
I'm weightless, I'm weightless
Millions of balloons heading to the ground
Weight of the world tries to hold us down
Cut the strings and let me go
I'm weightless, I'm weightless, I'm weightless, I'm weightless
La, la la la la...

They told me: "Girl, to get you're way, you've got to be a bitch!"
They say that: "A guy won't get the girl, if he's not filthy rich!"
It seems to me you're so heavy,
And weighs you down like that
Don't wanna be someone I hate
'Cause that too make no sense...

The sky is the limit
And I just wanna flow
Free as a spirit on a journey of hope
Cut the strings and let me go
I'm weightless, I'm weightless
(Ready, set, baby let's go)...

The sky is the limit
And I just wanna flow
Free as a spirit on a journey of hope
Cut the strings and let me go
I'm weightless, I'm weightless...

Millions of balloons heading to the ground
Weight of the world tries to hold us down
Cut the strings and let me go
I'm weightless, I'm weightless (Ready, set, baby let's go)
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah (I'm free as a spirit)
Oh yeah, oh yeah (There's nothing holding me down) 

Oh yeah... (Nothing holding me down)...
