Song of the Moment C: Foo Fighters’ “Run”

I’ve had many right-song-at-the-right-time moments lately, from hearing Saya’s “Natsu Shigure” during a rainy walk to my favorite cafe last June to hearing the opening theme of Person of Interest (my all-time favorite show) when I typed the exact title during a recent online conversation. As a music fan, I truly love those perfectly-timed moments.

Today, I finally recovered from two weeks of muscle pain and coughing. (Violently coughing at night is not a good experience at all. And I can really feel the aging now. Damn.) Thanks to resting, drinking The Angel’s Cup (which is basically hot honey/citron/ginger tea), and listening more to mellow music, now I’m feeling great physically, and I went back just in time for work. The first thing I did upon my return: open my laptop, open my Spotify app, and look for my favorite songs list (which consists of songs from various genres and music acts). I was curious if the universe and Spotify would deliver at least one perfectly-timed song, so I hit shuffle again.

Song of the Moment XCIX: Foo Fighters’ “My Hero”

I almost wrote a lengthy Song of the Moment post, but I ended up erasing it entirely. Honestly, tonight, I’d rather prepare myself for my second mind-blowing Foo Fighters show tomorrow night at the Singapore Grand Prix. And one of the things I’m looking forward to is singing along as the ferocious Dave Grohl shreds the guitar and screams these lines from my Song of the Moment, “My Hero”:

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary

The music video of Foo Fighters’ “My Hero”.

Happiest weekend, everyone! See you in the next post!

Song of the Moment LXIX: My Chemical Romance’s “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)”

I read my post from yesterday, and… man, I sounded so sad. And you know what? My time for sadness is done for now, and I need to get back up. I can’t stay sad for long.

To fuel myself and bounce back again, I’m listening to an absolute banger, the ferocious “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” by My Chemical Romance. It’s my favorite song from their fourth studio album Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys.

And a pro wrestling trivia: “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” is the theme song of WWE’s Tables, Ladders & Chairs PPV event in 2010. I’m pleasantly surprised that an MCR song became a song for a WWE event.

The amazing music video of My Chemical Romance’s “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)”.

The weekend is almost here. Let’s fucking go.
