The Diary of The Deranged Writer
Where fiction meets reality, between light, darkness and absurdity.
A blog series where The Deranged Writer talks about a song he has been listening to repeatedly or has a current significance.
After a long day at work and finishing my nightly rituals, I just want to listen to my favorite music while I wait for my medicine to kick in. And I choose My Chemical Romance’s “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” as my Song of the Moment because it is literally my song of the moment as I type this. Thank you, Spotify.
And don’t worry. I’m all right. In fact, I’m happy. I promise.
See you in the next post!

Move to the music, play that fucking music!
The Union Underground’s “Across the Nation”
Whether I’m drunk or sober, if you ask me what is the best theme song of WWE’s Monday Night Raw, my answer will always be “Across the Nation” by The Union Underground. The song’s hard rock instrumentals and rough vocals blend perfectly with WWE Raw and the Ruthless Aggression era (one of my favorite eras of WWE)—it sounds so ruthless and aggressive.
Papa Roach’s “…To Be Loved” and Shinedown’s “Enemies” (my second and third favorite WWE Raw theme songs) also have the raw (no pun intended) energy fitting for the red brand, but the aggression that “Across the Nation” brings to the table is just incomparable. And tonight, it’s my Song of the Moment.
Now let me drink my Jack & Coke Zero and move to the music. See you in the next post. Cheers!

Tonight, while I was drinking my favorite Jack & Coke Zero and listening to my favorite songs on Spotify in peace, I remembered a few people again—one of them is a significant person in my high school phase, Lyra. And strangely enough, Spotify played Joey McIntyre’s “Stay the Same”, the same song Lyra dedicated to me at one point in our fourth year in high school.
What’s up with that, Spotify and the universe? But anyway, thank you for that. I’m going to cry now.
