Instead of doing a "current tunes" post, I thought I'd take a minute to talk about one song in particular, and that song is Fukai Mori (translation: Deep Forest) by Japanese band Do As Infinity. Some folks may know this song as the 2nd ending theme for the anime Inuyasha, which is how I, as … Continue reading Deep Forest

Before They Were Cool
Most of you have probably heard the term, "I liked ______ before he/she/it/they were cool," at least once. It becomes a point of pride for some folks, when something underrated suddenly explodes in popularity, and they can claim that they have been a fan since the start, or nearly the start. Or, they can lord … Continue reading Before They Were Cool

AKMU - How People Move Since my trek to the Blackpink concert earlier this month, my interest in K-pop has reignited a bit. I only just discovered this brother-sister duo, and I am obsessed with them. They have such a unique style and sound that is incredibly pleasant to listen to. This particular song, an … Continue reading Current Tunes #5
Never Forget
Everyone has things that they will never forget. And I mean never. They become so ingrained they can be conjured from the depths of your brain at any moment. For me, it's mostly music/songs that I listened to so frequently I will never forget the lyrics, no matter how much time passes. For example, I … Continue reading Never Forget
Guilty
When the well of inspiration runs dry, there are a few methods that I utilize to get myself back on track. I have mentioned a few in previous posts, but I must admit, I have one trick that also counts as a "guilty pleasure" of sorts... When I get stuck, and the creative juices simply … Continue reading Guilty

Judah and the Lion - Suit and Jacket One of my local radio stations has recently gone from mainstream pop to alternative and indie rock, and this great song is one discovery I've made thus far. The whole theme of not "trading my youth for no suit and jacket" while still grappling with matters of … Continue reading Current Tunes #4
The Middle
Recently, the mid-twenties doldrums have been bogging me down. I feel as though I am not where I need to be, but I lack the courage and confidence to get myself there. But those thoughts of "Get it together!" get drowned out by fear of failure and doubt in my abilities, a dark cloud consuming … Continue reading The Middle

Some selections from my current writing playlist... Stranger in the North - Namewee ft. Leehom Wang (or G.E.M. Tang) Though I was quite the J-Pop aficionado back in the day, my appreciation eventually grew to cover C-Pop and a bit of K-Pop. Though I haven't kept up with it much in recent years, this tune … Continue reading Current Tunes #3

Perfect - Ed Sheeran ft. Beyonce I haven't been the biggest fan of Ed Sheeran's music (with the exception of "I See Fire" from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, which I love) but the new duet with Beyonce is literally PERFECT. It's so sweet and lovely and the lyrics totally hit the mark, and this … Continue reading Current Tunes #2
