ten seconds left until midnight
nine chances to drown ourselves in black hair dye
eight faces turned away from the shock
seven windows
and six of them were locked
five stories falling
forever and ever
three cheers to the mirror
and now there're two of us
CAN WE HAVE ONE LAST DANCE?

all my life i've only been friendly with people i like, people who are normal. once i get a whiff of something that is wrong with a person, i almost instantly distance myself from them.

i was listening to this song one afternoon at work when i began to doze off. from there, i entered a dream-like state as the song started filling my consciousness and i was in the song, half-awake, lacking all awareness, existing in a place beyond us.

yesterday i was looking at shoes and there were 2 teenaged girls there too.

"i once knew this girl who thought she was god. she didn't give sight to the blind or raise the dead. she didn't even teach anything, not really, and she never told me anything i probably didn't already know. on the other hand, she didn't expect to be worshiped, nor did she ask for money. given her high opinion of herself, some might call that a miracle. i don't know, maybe she was god. her name was sati, and she had blonde hair and blue eyes."

i saw this last week and i realised that i've never known the meaning of empathy. i've seen the word but i've never figured out what it really means.

if you've been around here for some time you'd know how often i fall for girls, and always over the stupidest and most random things. back then it was much worse and sometimes even i find it ridiculous.

a month into my new job, my colleague suddenly resigned and i was offered a permanent position.

i was walking home, trying my best not to breathe in this killer haze, then this song came up and it was straight back to the hazy nights of 2006 when i was working in the cinema and i would walk through the city every night and the lights would glow softly behind the dreary shroud.

it's in the early hours of 2 november now and i've just skipped this place for the second october in a row, but i actually saved something on my phone so let's back-date it a little...

i said earlier this year that i was looking for change, looking so hard that i realised that i have been enforcing new things upon myself. i am now allowing into my life some things that i would readily reject in the past.

this live version of degausser is so amazing for so many reasons. i've been listening to this song for the past 9 years and i thought i knew the song but suddenly i see this and - BOOMZ - this just blew everything right outta the water.
comforting sounds - mew
i was doing some research while deciding if i should go for their concert, and then this happened.
there was something in that song that connected to perfectly to what i was feeling at that period and it poked me in places of my heart that i didn't know existed.
infinity - the xx
there was a day and a night spent in a room with the blinds down and lights off. the xx was playing the whole time, their songs providing just the right blend of comfort and distraction, fading in and out of the background as the mood dictates.
it was a day and a night where the darkness and music seemed to drown out everything but they still couldn't drown the thoughts in my head that bound me to the world existing beyond that dark room.
sugar - maroon 5
i've spent more time drinking in pubs and bars this year more than any other, perhaps it's a side-effect of work. my favourite is to go for a drink or three on mondays (actually every day) after work. if i have something planned, i would feel absolutely zero monday blues.
this song though, it should be the soundtrack of all those nights. the song was everywhere, and good thing for me that it's quite a nice song and not some annoying shit like pricetag, otherwise i would be suffering all year.

this live version of degausser is so amazing for so many reasons. i've been listening to this song for the past 9 years and i thought i knew the song but suddenly i see this and - BOOMZ - this just blew everything right outta the water.
we are also extremely fortunate that they decided to play their best ever performance of this song when there was a live recording, because if you are a brand new fan like i am, you would know that good quality live videos of their performances simply do not exist.
this song though, it has everything and more. the singing is on point, the intensity is off the charts, there's 2 drummers, and there's even some sneaky additional guitar parts that are not supposed to be there.
