Song of the Moment LXXXVIII: Foo Fighters’ “Resolve”

Today, I did more work than usual. I even went into overtime. But I’m not complaining because a fire has lit inside of me since last weekend.

So, I opened tonight’s bout with 10+ repair proposals by wearing my earphones and playing my favorite songs playlist on Spotify. Each random song that played while I was working was energetic enough to fuel my fire, from Shinedown’s “DEVIL”, The Ting Tings’ “That’s Not My Name”, and Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Can’t Stop”.

Upon reaching the final proposal for the night, my favorite song of all time, Foo Fighters’ “The Pretender”, played. I cried as I heard my beloved anthem and I typed the last few words and numbers because it’s like the universe is telling me to push one more time before I do my nightly rituals.

And when I started printing the last proposal, Spotify played another favorite Foo Fighters song of mine, “Resolve”. It’s from the band’s fifth studio album In Your Honor, and it was the perfect song to end overtime… and the perfect song to be my Song of the Moment.

I’m tempted to open a can of Jack & Coke Zero, but nope.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Song of the Moment LXXXVII: The Union Underground’s “Across the Nation”

Move to the music, play that fucking music!

The Union Underground’s “Across the Nation”

Whether I’m drunk or sober, if you ask me what is the best theme song of WWE’s Monday Night Raw, my answer will always be “Across the Nation” by The Union Underground. The song’s hard rock instrumentals and rough vocals blend perfectly with WWE Raw and the Ruthless Aggression era (one of my favorite eras of WWE)—it sounds so ruthless and aggressive.

Papa Roach’s “…To Be Loved” and Shinedown’s “Enemies” (my second and third favorite WWE Raw theme songs) also have the raw (no pun intended) energy fitting for the red brand, but the aggression that “Across the Nation” brings to the table is just incomparable. And tonight, it’s my Song of the Moment.

Now let me drink my Jack & Coke Zero and move to the music. See you in the next post. Cheers!
