A blog series where The Deranged Writer talks about a song he has been listening to repeatedly or has a current significance.
This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024 edition).
Let me quote again the ultra-talented Bruno Mars because I’m lazy as fuck.
Today I don’t feel like doing anything
Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song”
I just wanna lay in my bed
Unfortunately, even if “The Lazy Song” is my Song of the Moment, I can’t be in bed for long. I have a job and I have bills to pay. Work hard, Deranged Writer. Work hard.
That is all for now. See you tomorrow.

I’ll make this quick because I just finished listening From Zero, the new Linkin Park album released today, and I will go for another round because I love the entire record. But if I were to pick a favorite track (right now) that I will listen to on repeat all night long, it would be “Two Faced”. Listening to it made me feel like a 10-year-old because it reminded me of the old-school, heavy Linkin Park – Mr. Hahn’s turntable scratches and all. I’m on cloud nine, man.
And have you seen the music video of “Two Faced”? Linkin Park members in suits… I approve.
Now I will go back to listen From Zero all over again. Happy weekend!

I still have not reached my monthly blog count, and October will end tomorrow. Damn it, Deranged Writer. You need to force yourself sometimes.
Anyway, I’m still on a Coheed and Cambria sound trip, and I finally reached their third studio album and arguably their magnum opus: Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness. It’s the first Coheed album I listened to in full and it’s still my top favorite Coheed album because of the entire record’s perfectly dark and epic rock and orchestral arrangements. I can also say that Good Apollo One (both the album and the graphic novel that ties into The Amory Wars story) is a major inspiration to my Deranged Writer persona.
Oh, man. I enjoyed listening to Good Apollo One again so much that I already listened to the album twice. I already listened to the Coheed albums Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow and Year of the Black Rainbow, but I’m going back and listen to Good Apollo One tonight.
As for my Song of the Moment tonight, let me share arguably Good Apollo One’s catchiest song and my second all-time favorite Coheed and Cambria song, “The Suffering”. If I were to introduce Coheed and Cambria to a friend, I would recommend “The Suffering” first and then “Welcome Home”, my number one favorite Coheed song ever. Or I would recommend “Welcome Home” first and then “The Suffering”, whichever comes to mind.
(Speaking of “Welcome Home”, I will definitely blog about it soon.)
That is all for now.
