Song of the Moment XL: Foo Fighters’ “Another Round”

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:

Room full of photographs
Box full of letters
Come on make it last
Nothing else matters right now

Foo Fighters’ “Another Round”

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.

10-Minute Warning CXXXII

So, what can I blog here for under 10 minutes?

Well, my parents and cousin May are going out of town tomorrow. They will attend a relative’s church wedding this weekend. That means my Younger Brother and I will take over the dispatching duties among others, which also means I need to wake up earlier than usual.

To my parents and May, have a safe trip and enjoy the weekend. They deserve a break from all the hard work they do.

What else? Oh! I might watch Deadpool & Wolverine again this weekend… or maybe tomorrow? I love the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film so much, and I will watch it again with or without company. After round 2 of watching, I will blog about it.

Speaking of Deadpool, I have found a local maker of high quality Deadpool masks (both full-shell and half-shell), and I will order a half-shell mask from him soon. Probably. Fingers crossed on that. I need a new mask aside from the luchador skull mask that I have.

And that’s it… that’s all I can say for now.

Song of the Moment XXXIX: Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song”

I know, I know. I said I would try to blog last Sunday. And I was also supposed to blog yesterday. But let me quote a hit song from the ultra-talented Bruno Mars…

Today I don’t feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don’t feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything
