Song of the Moment XXVII: Johnny Cash’s “Hurt” (A Nine Inch Nails Cover)

Yesterday I didn’t feel like writing, hence the lack of a blog post. I just wanted to work during the day and then have my walking/jogging session at night, and I did those things. I feel better after walking and jogging around my usual jogging path.

Today, I woke up earlier than usual to join my Mother in her meeting with a major client. After that, we had cheeseburgers for lunch at 8Cuts and went home. On our way home, I was groggy because I lacked sleep, so I took an afternoon nap.

And then I entered into a bad dream. Again. I can’t tell the details of my nightmare (what happened and who was in it), but all I can say right now is this: I have been fearful of the same nightmare for the past 5 years and counting, and it feels so real whenever I enter into it. I hate it so much. And to make it worse, I woke up with my nose bleeding like a faucet.

And then I remember Johnny Cash’s version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt”. How appropriate.

What have I become
My sweetest friend?
Everyone I know
Goes away in the end

Song of the Moment XXVI: Linkin Park’s “QWERTY”

Last April 12, 2024, Linkin Park released their greatest hits album Papercuts. Aside from their hits like “One Step Closer”, “Faint”, and “What I’ve Done”, the album also includes “QWERTY”, a song from the fan-club exclusive album LP Underground 6.0 and one of my favorite deep cuts (if I may call it that) from the band. I’m so glad they finally released it on digital streaming.

You hide behind lies
You don’t know why
You crossed the line
Wrapped up inside your lies
You hide behind lies
You’re lost inside that cold disguise
Behind your lies

Now, let me headbang all night while listening to this heavy masterpiece.

Song of the Moment XXIV: New Radicals’ “Someday We’ll Know”

Tonight, I feel so mellow. But instead of explaining how I feel, let me quote the alternative rock band New Radicals.

If I can ask God just one question…
Why aren’t you here with me tonight?
