Song of the Moment XVII: Zedd’s “Clarity” (feat. Foxes)

Lately, I have been listening to “Clarity” (a Grammy Award-winning dance-pop/EDM song by Russian/German DJ Zedd that features British pop singer Foxes) on repeat, and initially, I don’t know why. (Pun intended.) But the more I listen to it, I realize that I… miss someone? Whatever. What I do know is that Foxes’ vocals on the song (most notably, the chorus) are so full of emotion that I can visualize her singing with all of her heart as Zedd delivers the sick instrumentals. And the entire lyrics scream what my heart wants to scream right now. Great job, Mr. Zedd and Ms. Foxes!

If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love’s insanity
Why are you my clarity?

Also, I saw the music video for “Clarity” just now. I am 11 years too late to the party. Oops. But anyway, I love the video – specifically, I love the parts where Foxes is singing and all the VFX objects breaking and clashing with one another. That video, just like the song, totally earned my thumbs-up.

That is all.

Because of my current mood, I don’t feel like writing a lengthy post today. Instead, let me quote the chorus of my favorite My Chemical Romance song.

What’s the worst that I can say?
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Notes to Self VII

Now, here I am, writing my 100th post here on The Dispatch. What should I talk about? Another Minute Warning post? Another Gratitude Log? How about a new Note to Self?

Well, then. I’m settling for the latter. Welcome to the 7th edition of Notes to Self – where I quote something relevant from any form of media or someone I know in real life. In this edition, because this is a monumental 100th post for The Dispatch, I’m quoting my number 1 hero, the legendary musician Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters.
