Song of the Moment XXXV: Living Colour’s “Cult of Personality” (Again)

For some strange reason, the 1st thing I do when I feel happy is listen to a favorite song. It’s either “The Pretender” by Foo Fighters (my favorite song of all time), Finn Bálor’s 1st theme song (I love this song over his current one), or “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour (an excellent hard rock song and CM Punk’s theme song). Today, I’m listening to the latter on repeat. Again.

(This is the 2nd time “Cult of Personality” is my Song of the Moment. You can check out the 1st post here.)

I hope this happy mood lasts for long. And speaking of CM Punk, his rivalry against Drew McIntyre is one of the most exciting storylines in WWE recently, and they have not fought in a match yet. I’m looking forward to their inevitable bout.

Happy week ahead, everyone!

Song of the Moment XXVIII: Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”

27 years ago today, my favorite band of all time, Foo Fighters, released arguably their best album to date, The Colour and the Shape. And one of the songs on the album, “Everlong”, is not only one of the best Foos songs but also, in my opinion, one of the best love songs ever.

I already blogged about the acoustic version of “Everlong” in a previous Song of the Moment post, so tonight I will share a bit about the original version. Why is it a great Foos song and a great love song? I will give a few reasons: (1) the sweet, exciting rock instrumentals and (2) the chorus. Man. The chorus.

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang

Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”

I will write more about this song soon as part of the Listen blogging series, but for now, I will keep listening to “Everlong” and the other amazing songs from The Colour and the Shape tonight. And I suggest you check out the Foos’ magnum opus as well.

That is all.

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.
