Song of the Moment LXII: Colbie Caillat’s “Realize”

I have been listening to my Top Songs 2024 playlist on Spotify for the past several days, and one of the songs from the playlist I have not blogged as my Song of the Moment is “Realize”, my favorite Colbie Caillat song. It was released in January 2008, but I only discovered it a year later. The song is about having romantic feelings for someone (a friend rather) and wishing for that someone to feel the same way.

If you just realize what I just realized
Then we’d be perfect for each other and we’d never find another
Just realize what I just realized
We’d never have to wonder if we missed out on each other now

Now let me be sappy while I listen to “Realize” and drink my Jack and Coke. Happy holidays.

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.)

Stevie Wonder’s “Happy Birthday”.

Happiest birthday to me, The Deranged Writer!

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