I’ve always liked their acoustic perfs better

My love for Paramore has been revived.

So proud of myself #bragging time

Made my first gif set! It tells of Harry’s story with his parents as inspired by the lyrics from Swedish House Mafia’s “Don’t You Worry Child“

I also posted this on my tumblr account. If you have one, you can follow me and I’ll make sure I follow you back. Cheers!

I don’t know why. I like it.

On waking up with a song in your head

Do you ever wake up with a song already playing in your head? I get that often. Sometimes it’s because our neighbors were playing it in their blasted radio, sometimes it’s because it was the last song I heard before going to bed, but there are instances where I just don’t know how the song got into my head right before I woke up. Today, I woke up with Marina and the Diamonds’s “Seventeen” playing in my head. It’s weird. And it’s always the chorus part, I’ve noticed. Sometimes the start. But never the middle of a stanza nor the bridge part. I wonder why that is, why it happens at all, and what it means.

I have this silly little theory that maybe while I was sleeping, my subconsciousness was communicating or connecting with other subconsciousness all over the world and that it just so happens that the last subconsciousness I connected with was listening to a song and so I remember it just as I was waking up. The catch here is I can only remember the song if I’ve already heard it at least once because, how can you remember in real life something you haven’t encountered yet? It’s just a theory but just think: you connect with so many people across the world while deep in sleep and the only remnant of that experience would be a wisp of a song. It might be a bit far off but I think it’s a cool idea.

Because I’m pretty sure most of you just got over this song and I’m here to be a good friend and inflict LSS on you.

Do you remember the twenty-first night of September?

Happy twenty-first of September everybody! Here’s some Earth, Wind and Fire to keep you energized:

 

If you want a more toned down one, here’s Colton Dixon’s cover. Some don’t like but I do. It’s just so … chill. And I get to appreciate the lyrics more.

You’re Like Oxygen

You’re like oxygen: once I breath you in, I can’t breathe you out.

From SHINee’s “Love Like Oxygen”

Most K-Pop songs I know talk about the same things: love (well, most songs I know are about love). That’s why I easily caught the meaning of words like sarang (love), dorawa (come back), and hansang (always). But there will be times that the lyrics are just so beautiful that I’d have to pause the song and write the lyrics down. It’s always a really good feeling when a word or a phrase from a three-minute arrangement of music and lyrics subtly startles you out of listening and just pulls you into writing that word or phrase down.

The Korean language is such a visual kind of language. It also loves to play on words and I’ve always thought it must be really nice to write a poem about Korean. I’d surely have so much fun making one, given the chance for me to be proficient in the language.

Song of the Day

Bad by The Cab

Why do we want things that are bad for us? I thought we humans were all for self-preservation? Hahaha. Goddamn catchy though.

What you feel is what you are

And what you are is beautiful.

When people identify you with the thing you used to like/do/be and think you still do/are

It’s always annoying, I think, when people tend to box you into just one thing. It may be your hobby, your skill, your position, your background, anything really. It’s more annoying when this “one thing” (no, not the One Direction song) is a thing of the past. It’s bad enough that you’re defined by just one thing about you. It’s way worse to be defined by one thing that you used to be.
