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 XXXII: Ed Sheeran’s “Save Myself”

I’m in a mellow mood tonight after a long day at work, reminiscing and missing a few people while my sad Spotify playlist is on shuffle. I was about to buy a Jack and Coke Zero at the nearest convenience store, but today is Wednesday so I resisted.

And then Spotify played an Ed Sheeran song about loving oneself – something I’m not good at. But I swear I’m trying.

So before I save someone else, I’ve got to save myself
And before I blame someone else, I’ve got to save myself
And before I love someone else, I’ve got to love myself

Good night.

Song of the Moment XVIII: Stone Sour’s “Absolute Zero”

In my previous post last Friday, I mentioned that I was sick. Now, the only thing that is bothering me is my cough. But that will not stop me from walking and jogging tonight. And instead of walking at my usual jog path, I will join my brothers tonight at the gym and use one of the treadmills. And if I can lift some weights, maybe I should as well? Or maybe not. I will see about that.

Wait a minute. I just realized something: Tonight will be the 1st time I will exercise with all my brothers at the gym. Bro time!

Speaking of exercise, let me share one of my all-time favorite songs and the 1st track on my workout playlist – “Absolute Zero” by Stone Sour. Corey Taylor’s melodic screaming and the hard rock instrumentals never fail to pump me up. Hell yeah.

You’re looking at an absolute zero
I’m not the devil, but I won’t be your hero

That is all. Happy Monday, everyone!
