Love is never simple
The title of this post does not relate to the content or any of my current thoughts, it's just the part of the song I was listening to when I typed out the title.
I just noticed.
I don't know why but I just felt like starting this post on a not-so-happy note.
It's not that I don't care anymore;
It's just that I've grown better at hiding it.
"Song for a Good Son" almost brings me to tears everytime I hear it. Even reading the lyrics do that D: I am feeling really emotional today. And no, that's not a good thing. "Ask Me No Questions" and "Lost at Sea" too. I The lyrics are just so apt, and the tunes are so blue-Monday-moody sort. Lost at Sea is especially saddening.
Could it be, that we're lost at sea,
And we're drowning under the stars?
Up to me, I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far,
What a lonely way to be lost at sea.
Song for a Good Son just has that minor tune. The sort of minor key that just makes you feel really sad and depressed sort. I don't know how I managed to get hyper on it yesterday.
Ask Me No Questions is a beautiful song. It should be a classic.
I'm getting re-addicted to classics. Like Complicated Girl and Glitter Years and September Gurls and Live and Be With You and Let It Go and Stealing Rosemary. And I'll Set You Free.
Glitter Years has a too-catchy-to-not-not-sing-or-at-least-hum-along chorus. It's a total brain-sticker. I bet that's how it made the album in the first place. It's a good thing it was selected in favour of "Happy Man Today", then, because I rather prefer it. The lyrics (or for the chorus at least, I can't say the same for the verses, even I can't remember them) are really memorable.
I don't really know
How we survived the glitter years
What did we do it all for
Do you remember the glitter years?
But it isn't really... Happy either. So you see my trouble. In fact, I think most of the songs (if not all) are all somewhat depressing songs.
I've
finally figured out the reason why
all the songs on the radio sound so familiar. It's because I've been listening to the same radio station since young. And they replay the same songs over and over again. Which is why I can hum along to almost all the songs they play.
Wow I've used a lot of italics in this post, more than usual. In fact, the most since I've created this blog. I need an inspirational playlist, especially when I'm tring to do my work, not a depressing one. Who cares.
Goodbye.
And it's goodbye to love
No one ever cared if I should live or die
Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
And all I know of love is how to live without it
I just can't seem to find it
So I've made up my mind
That I should live my life alone
And though it's not the easy way
I guess I've always known
I'd say goodbye to love
[edit:]
I just realized! 111st post! I really need a more spunky playlist ahaha.
