My first (paid) MP3!

was chatting on MSN when an ad of a digital music download store caught my attention..


i thought 99cents was pretty reasonable so i decided to give it a try!

i wouldn't consider the music there very new but i have to say that the "newness" of the songs available had surpassed my expectations. They even had Sun YanZi's latest album! The other stores i'd visited in the past probably only had songs dated back in the 1990s lol. the site was relatively easy to navigate and after a while, i chanced upon westlife's album. i'm not a fan of them but their When you tell me that you love me duet with Diana Ross is so undescribable! it's that kind of song that sets you in the mood for love..Hopelessly romantic! :D

and so i decided to purchase it and proceeded with the payment. After the processing has been done, the page automatically redirected me to the song's link. simply click and after 'bout 3 minutes..


DOWNLOAD COMPLETE!
(i know i'm such a pain in the ass but if you were to notice carefully, they left out the "t" in "with"!
*grr* that's not very professional!)

Okay I tried to ignore it because i was still feeling excited with the first purchase so I hurriedly added it to my Winamp playlist (i know some of you may argue that windows media player is better blah blah but i'm still liking my good ol' Winamp for its simple features!). I waited and waited, but the song didn't play! Then a site surfaced:


WTH? not compatible?!?

I tried Windows media player instead. This time, a popup message appeared:

-_- i was getting impatient. So click OK lah..


FINALLY!
(argh I'm still irritated by the typo !!@%#$)

I also notice the song doesn't play immediately when it's been selected. Windows media player needs like 10 seconds to play it and in between the message "Opening media" will be flashed at the status bar. It can't be the player's problem as I have no problems with other mp3s. I wonder why.

Despite these technical imperfections, i still think that the $0.99 is reasonable considering the fact that the price of 1 CD consisting 10 songs costs $17 on rough estimates. quite wuhua la afterall. hehe.

Let's enjoy the song now! :D

When you tell me that you love me
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do

I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger

And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me

You love me
When you tell me that you love me
