Song of the Moment LX: Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday”

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).

Because it’s my birthday today, I wanted to wake up at 8am and write a lengthy birthday post. But I woke up at 9:30am and I got lazy writing. But what the hell… I should cut myself some slack because it’s my special day.

As for my other plans for the rest of the day, I will drop by my favorite cafe Satchmi and then look for available restaurants for my birthday dinner. I just hope I can do the latter before nighttime. Fingers crossed, man.

Speaking of birthdays, let me share my Song of the Moment: Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday”. I will definitely listen to this on repeat before I move on to my favorite bands’ classics like Coheed and Cambria’s “Welcome Home” and Foo Fighters’ “Walk”. (I might cry listening to the latter.)

Happiest birthday to me, The Deranged Writer!

Notes to Self XIV

Hi! I’m The Deranged Writer and welcome to another episode of Notes to Self! In this blog series, I quote something worth remembering from any media or someone I know.

And in this 14th episode of Notes to Self (and the 9th entry of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer [2024]), I’m quoting once again my favorite superhero, Batman – in particular, Robert Pattinson’s version from the movie The Batman.

Spoiler warning if you have not seen The Batman (2022).

Song of the Moment LIV: Coheed and Cambria’s “Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute”

For my first post this November 2024, I want to share my Song of the Moment: “Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute”, the second song of Coheed and Cambria’s sixth studio album The Afterman: Ascension and the first song of the Key Entity Extraction suite.

I remember the first time I heard Coheed and Cambria’s fifth studio album Year of the Black Rainbow in 2010, and it took me a few times before I could tell my favorite tracks from it (e.g. “The Broken”). I never experienced that when I heard Coheed’s first four albums honestly. But when I first listened to The Afterman: Ascension in 2012 and eventually “Domino the Destitute”, I was blown away by how epic it sounded for almost 8 minutes straight, and right away I said, “This is definitely my favorite.” It’s like a relative to “Welcome Home” in a way. (Don’t worry. I will blog about that masterpiece of a song soon.)

Also, let me quote my favorite lines from “Domino the Destitute”. Setting aside The Amory Wars interpretation, I think the lines fit a notable side of me.

Ladies and broken gentlemen
The undisputed champ of misery
Coheed and Cambria’s “Key Entity Extraction I: Domino the Destitute”

That is all. See you tomorrow.
