Song of the Moment LXXIX: Pieter Anø’s “Purple Rain” (A Prince Cover) (Again)

After an incredibly stressful and honestly unfulfilling day, I don’t feel like making another Minute Warning post. I just want to listen to sad piano music while drinking my favorite Jack & Coke Zero tonight. (But I can’t drink tonight because it’s not the weekend yet. I’m tempted to drink my favorite cocktail, but no. Water is fine, thank you.)

Anyway, what am I listening to as I type this? It’s Pieter Anø’s melancholic cover of “Purple Rain” (Prince’s greatest song, in my opinion). This is the second time the song has been my Song of the Moment, and I will listen to it a few more times and then go to sleep.

Will I feel better tomorrow? I don’t know. Maybe not.

See you soon, I hope.

Song of the Moment LXXI: Philip Glass’s “Metamorphosis: One” (Again)

Have you ever had a dream so happy that you wish the dream would never end? That’s the kind of dream that I had last Sunday, and I woke up feeling happy… and then my smile turned into a frown. It was only a dream.

“But Dewey, it was just a dream. Don’t worry about it.” That’s the thing: It was only a dream.

Since then, I have been struggling to bounce back. I had a hard time fixing my sleeping schedule. I had a hard time finishing my work tasks faster. I had a hard time basically being fine. If I were to add a piece of melancholic background music to my current predicament, it would be “Metamorphosis: One” by Philip Glass. It is one of my favorite sad songs ever.

Philip Glass’s “Metamorphosis One”.

And coincidentally, a year ago today, I also blogged about “Metamorphosis: One” as a Song of the Moment. I only found out after searching the old post. (If you click on the aforementioned link, there’s a spoiler warning if you have not seen “return 0”, the final episode of my all-time favorite series Person of Interest.)

Anyway, even if I’m sad, I will try to keep going. I have to.

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.
