A blog series where The Deranged Writer talks about a song he has been listening to repeatedly or has a current significance.
Hello, Diary!
It has been a long time since I wrote a blog post that is not written under 10, 30, or even 60 minutes, so I will make the most out of this. Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.
And here we go…
Continue reading XV: Song of the Moment XLII, Deadpool Cosplay Plans, The Movies I Watched This Week… and More DeadpoolOne of the things I loved to do as a child was listen to the radio before going to sleep. One of the songs that really stuck with me was “Fallin'” by Teri DeSario, a song that deals with falling in love and having second thoughts about it.
Of course, when I heard “Fallin'” as a kid, I had no clue what love was. I don’t even have a crush at school at that time. But Ms. DeSario’s soft singing and the perfectly mellow instrumentals stuck in my mind and heart and I didn’t need to fall in love to appreciate the song. And when I did fall in love a few times, I went back to listening to “Fallin'”, making the song more relevant in my life than ever.
But since Thursday, I have been listening to Teri DeSario’s “Fallin” for a different reason. And that’s…

On June 14, 2005, The Foo Fighters released their 5th studio album In Your Honor. It’s a double album with heavy rock songs on the 1st disc and mellow acoustic tracks on the 2nd. And my favorite song on the acoustic side (and one of my top 20 favorite Foo Fighters songs ever) is “Another Round”.
I love “Another Round” for a few reasons. Firstly, the harmonica solo by Danny Clinch made the song stand out from the rest of disc 2. Secondly, Dave Grohl’s gentle guitar strumming while singing his heart out. And thirdly, I am in awe of the mellow lyrics. Here is a part of it:

Foo Fighters’ “Another Round”
Box full of letters
Come on make it last
Nothing else matters right now
But even if “Another Round” is one of my favorite Foos songs of all time, I have listened to it less in recent years. Maybe it’s because of some of the memories attached to the song when I listened to it almost nonstop. But now I’m older, I have been through a lot, and many things have changed, tonight I’m listening to it multiple times with a different understanding.
That is all.
