Just Can't Get Enough of my 'Fillers'

       Youtube has been my favorite site for months.  Yesterday, I have mined songs that's been my "fillers," those songs that I want to 'fill-in' every minute of my day whenever possibe to keep me sane and happy (or insane and mad).  I was obliterated from hearing these songs when my favorite radio station in Manila, Citylite 88.3, changed its programming from smooth jazz to another music format, bordering on the acid jazz and club music.

    

       Some surprises are in the order.  First, I didnt know I have been listening to the quartet group Manhattan Transfer all my life. I know "Shaker Song" is theirs, but I didn't know these songs are from them too:  "Smile Again" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPYh7bhCha0 (no music video), and "A World Apart" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS0fqSlkjjI, an ironically reassuring message about loss and separation (with a cool video to boot). 

      

     Secondly, "Stay Awhile," a ditty song about begging a loved one back after a night gone astray (from infidelity?), from the late Colombian-American singer Soraya http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApRrYdew84c. 

    

    Thirdly, a very romantic song about staying always close with a loved oned, "Stay Awake" by Ronnie Laws http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbDusLVNTEo. 

    

     Who wouldn't be caught up with the catchy friendship song of Incognito's "Still A Friend of Mine" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd2hLtJwBfA. 

     I'd love to hear your thoughts, do we have the same fillers?
