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…
New Radicals’ “Someday We’ll Know”
Why aren’t you here with me tonight?
That is all.

A blog series where The Deranged Writer talks about a song he has been listening to repeatedly or has a current significance.
Song of the Moment XXIII: Jim Johnston’s “The Undertaker (Original Piano Demo)”
In the previous Song of the Moment post, I shared what was on my on-repeat: “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars. Today, I have been listening to the piano demo of the theme song of my all-time favorite pro wrestler, The Undertaker. Jim Johnston, the longest-serving composer for WWE, made the piano demo.
Whenever I’m in a depressive state and I don’t want to bounce back yet, I listen to said piano demo multiple times and dwell in the darkness. And what a beautiful yet haunting piano piece, it is. It is both comforting and saddening whenever I hear it.
Well done, Mr. Johnston. All the theme songs he created for wrestlers like Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and The Undertaker are so legendary that Johnston should have been in the WWE Hall of Fame years ago. I hope he gets inducted into said hall of fame next year.
Anyway, if you’re wondering how I am… I’m not fine. I’m not fine since Saturday afternoon.
I need a drink. But that would ruin my rule of “drinking only on weekends”. So, no. I will not drink now. I will try not to. Fingers crossed.

Song of the Moment XXII: Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man”
After all that happened last WrestleMania weekend (and what a weekend it was), I remembered a few things and it made me feel sad. I don’t want to talk about it here, but all I can say is that I’m so sad that my visit to my favorite cafe yesterday did not work somehow. Maybe I should go back again sometime this week and have another affogato there.
Speaking of sad, let me share a song that I have been listening to multiple times tonight: the saddest Bruno Mars song in my opinion, “When I Was Your Man”. I don’t want to talk about why I’m listening to it on repeat. For now, maybe. Just listen to the song.
Damn. I need a drink.
