Just when I thought My Chemical Romance’s “Helena” sounded depressing as is, Puddles Pity Party made it more melancholic with his calmer, slower cover. This is my favorite MCR cover ever.
To my loved ones, if ever I die soon, please play this cover and a Prince piano cover at my funeral.
That is all.

Yesterday, January 14, 2024, was the 55th birthday of my number 1 hero, Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters. I wanted to pay tribute to my idol with a long post, but until now I’m still not done with it. I don’t want to rush it; I want my tribute post to be perfect, and I hope to finish it by this month.
In the meantime, let me share a video of Dave Grohl performing the acoustic version of arguably his magnum opus, “Everlong”. The video was originally aired on March 20, 2021, as part of Oates Song Fest 7908. It has 2 parts: (1) the songwriting process and (2) the performance itself. Skip to 6:56 if you want to check out the performance right away. It’s so breathtaking. I love the acoustic version as much as I love the original one.
Happiest birthday, Dave Grohl! Thank you for cheering me up and saving me through your music. You will always be my ultimate hero!

A little part of me wants to talk about how I’m feeling today. Instead, let me quote the chorus of one of my favorite songs ever and my current LSS.
If it makes you happy
Sheryl Crow’s “If It Makes You Happy”
It can’t be that bad
If it makes you happy
Then why the hell are you so sad?
That is all.
