Mandaris"4 Page Letter" by Aaliyah
What song makes you want to write a letter?
I miss Aaliyah. I think she had wonderful talent as a singer and phenomenal stage presence. She had a way of soothing and entrancing at the same time. After this post, I'm going to write a letter to my wife. Sometimes, it's better to express yourself that way.
"Can You Stand the Rain" by New Edition
What's your favorite song to listen to in the rain?
I’m not a fan of being outside in the rain. I know that it’s good for the area that I live in to have it on a regular basis. I just don’t like being cold and the rain we see is usually associated with the colder months.
For some, rain is rejuvenating. For me, it’s sadness that I have to go through.
"The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe
Share a song that captures the feeling of being seventeen.
Seventeen wasn't a good year for me.
I don't even remember what this song was about but it's the first thing that comes to mind.
"Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5
Share a song that sounds like your ideal Sunday morning.
My friends like to joke that this was made when Maroon 5 was good. And I have to admit it’s still my favorite album and I listen to it semi frequently.
"Alive" by Sia
What song makes you feel grateful?
What I like about this song is the passion. Sia’s voice has this way of almost cracking as she screams out how she’s still alive and still fighting.
There have been too many times when I’ve been close to death. A wrong step here, a slight change in circumstances and I would not be here writing this post.
For me, this also stirs up that feeling of questions about why am I alive. Life is for the living and we have an opportunity to do something with it. Do not sit there waiting for death because it’s going to get you anyway.
Live.
And be alive.
"Back to Life" by Soul II Soul
Share a song that feels like it has healing powers.
This actually isn't the first song that came to mind, but it definitely fits.
For me it gets me into a groove and I can somewhat drift into the zone.
Do not waste your time. If you really want to know what happens watch the trailer and just make a guess. Odds are that you spent almost as much time/energy with that compared to what they put into the overall plot.
This thing was created by the business side of the movie business and it shows. They took a whole bunch of ideas and shoved it into an extended trailer that cost them $100 million and they got $971 million. So, I guess Illumination executives have no problem destroying future revenue as they cash out and move to the next IP.
I went from this…
To this…
It’s going to be a long summer.
"WAP (feat. Megan Thee Stallion)" by Cardi B
What's a song you only listen to when you're completely alone?
That's a weird prompt. The fact that you would online listen to alone but you'd put it on your blog.
Sure, I'll bite.
I listen to it because it has a great beat and different from the musical misogamy that I enjoyed in my youth.
"Nobody Speak (feat. Run The Jewels)" by DJ Shadow
What's your favorite opening line from any song?
This song is not for kids, but makes me laugh every time I hear it.
Picture this I'm a bag of dicks Put me to your lips
Yes, definitely not going to listen to that at work.
