Song of the Moment XLIII: Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die with a Smile”

Now that the weekend has begun, I’m enjoying a glass of my favorite Jack and Coke Zero while listening to my new favorite song, “Die with a Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
If the party was over
And our time on Earth was through
I’d wanna hold you just for a while
And die with a smile
If the world was ending
I’d wanna be next to you
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ “Die with a Smile”

I never expected this collaboration of 2 ultra-talented icons, but I’m so glad they teamed up. I can’t get enough of the soft rock instrumentals and the relevant lyrics hit my very heart. “Die with a Smile” may be my favorite song of 2024 yet.

Now let me drink and listen to this song in peace. Happy weekend, everyone!

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…

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.
