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?
Zedd’s “Clarity” (feat. Foxes)

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.

Song of the Moment XVI: Metallica’s “Seek & Destroy”

In light of Sting’s retirement last Sunday at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Revolution, let me share one of his entrance themes, “Seek & Destroy” by Metallica – a song that was played on his last entrance. (And he walked down to the ring with his sons dressed as Surfer Sting and Wolfpac Sting. Iconic.)

Thank you, Sting. You had an amazing career and you have given so much to pro wrestling. You are THE Icon. Enjoy your retirement, sir.

Song of the Moment XV: Foo Fighters’ “Exhausted”

Tonight, I don’t feel like telling a story as I feel tired physically and mentally. I’m sorry. Let me just quote and share one of Foo Fighters’ deep cuts – coming from the self-titled debut album that was released in 1995. Thank you, my all-time favorite band.

After the bliss has long ended
This caution, this fault
Give me a breeze that’s long-winded
Accosted, adult
Arrested

Happy weekend to all.
