After a long long while I found my blog somewhere on google. I was even amazed that I had a blog wow, I even forgotten what my own blog url was.
Not sure how many readers I get now, I probably strike off as a prepubescent adolescent kiddo that uses a blog to rant and cry back rather than a place of reflection and thoughts.
Reading through my old posts, I was like, do I swear that much back then? I mean I still swear nowadays, but not so much. I can still relate to how I was thinking back then even after much growth.
I scrapped my old music player by the side, added another at the bottom with updates to the songs too!
First song is Little talks from Of Monsters & men, I found this band after Twitter suggestions. After a little search on youtube, I found their music video of Little talks, the music and lyrics were unique enough to be included in.
Second song is Your heart is a muscle the sized of your fist from Ramshackle Glory. As a huge folk punk fan, this song simply stands out. It's a song about the different lives of their friends, with a sad little twist in the end.
Third song is The Listening from Lights. I have been a fan of Lights for a while now, After a couple of online buddies started introducing me to her music, generally in her songs, lyrics aren't too cheesy coupled with electro elements is the right fit for me.
Next up is All is hell that ends well from Two steps from hell. Two steps from hell has always been one of my most anticipated bands now. And this has to be the best from their new album "Skyworld". The sick transition towards the end fits in nicely.
Fifth song is Shine your Light from Robbie Robertson. This is the song from Ladder 49 a movie about how a fireman got his job to how he found his love and finally to how he died. A touching song for a touching movie. The vocals execution was perfect too.
Hair pool from Defiance, Ohio is up next. As much as I try to keep different genres in the list, this folk punk song is simply too good not to put in. From the lyrics to how the different instruments lined up nicely together. It's a beautiful piece.
I thought it'd be nice to add something of different language in, so next is Tsunaida te from Lil'B. No, this is not based god I'm talking about. This is a song from Fullmetal Alchemist brotherhood I believe. I can't pinpoint out why this song is good but I like the casual feel that it gives off as well as a mildly sad tune to it.
Family first from Woe, is me is up next. The band's destructive reforms and drama embroiled in it had this song has been buried underneath all the mess. It's a pretty good song, with no screaming elements, lyrics are typical-Rise-records-stuff but the music was good overall and Hance's cleans was the perfect fit for this song.
Rhythm of Love from Plain white tees is next. Perhaps I ran out of ideas of what to put in, but this song has its own stand in my mildly-depressing playlist with its happy whimsical chimes.
Lastly, Iridescent from Linkin Park. I've been a major fan of Linkin Park, since from their hybrid theory album all the way to their huge music transitions in their latest album. This track was used for a transformers movie and they made some really sick music video out of it. Coupled with the amazing song, 31 million views for it was simply an understatement for this piece.
Songs update aside, with nearing to the end of my bioengineering course, I have learnt quite a lot of things, as apart from course curriculum, through the years and issues I have learnt to be much more tolerant towards things (and I gained some weight too).
I've been kind of interested in the whole MBTI thing, so I did some test, but no definitive type came out, there's always some 1% gray areas..
A friend of mine said I'm ISTP, but ah wells, I wouldn't know myself.
