Song of the Moment XXIX: Linkin Park’s “One More Light”

Today was a productive day for me. I sent some repair proposals, ordered some materials needed for tomorrow, and went to the bank. And tonight I feel tired and in a mellow mood. What is my Song of the Moment this time? It’s “One More Light”, the last single of Linkin Park with vocalist Chester Bennington.

I don’t think I have mentioned this in The Diary, but Linkin Park is one of my top 5 favorite bands ever and Chester Bennington is one of my top 3 singers ever. Linkin Park’s songs have been an integral part of my teenage years (and beyond that) and they give me catharsis and comfort. “One More Light” is no exception.

If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone’s time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do

Rest in peace, Chester. We miss you.

Song of the Moment XXII: Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man”

After all that happened last WrestleMania weekend (and what a weekend it was), I remembered a few things and it made me feel sad. I don’t want to talk about it here, but all I can say is that I’m so sad that my visit to my favorite cafe yesterday did not work somehow. Maybe I should go back again sometime this week and have another affogato there.

Speaking of sad, let me share a song that I have been listening to multiple times tonight: the saddest Bruno Mars song in my opinion, “When I Was Your Man”. I don’t want to talk about why I’m listening to it on repeat. For now, maybe. Just listen to the song.

Damn. I need a drink.

Song of the Moment XIX: Charlie Burg’s “I Don’t Wanna Be Okay Without You”

After my errands today and capping off the work week with an ice-cold Jack and Coke, now I’m tired and in a mellow mood, and I would like to simply quote Charlie Burg.

But I only think of you
Will we be together soon?
I’m thrown to the wayside
You’re planted in my mind
But I don’t wanna be okay without you
