Mother Alien is very sorry for the delay because she's busy with making patterns in the corn field all night long. Anyway she wants to share some of her favorite The Beatles' covers! So don't hate, we know The Beatles are awesome and irreplaceable, but these covers are great and some are singing from a different perspective. And when people do covers it's because they love the artists, right?
I Want You (She's So Heavy) covered by The Last Shadow Puppets miles kane and alex turner together? simply awesome
Help! covered by Justine Dorsey this is an acapella cover, but the way hervoice alone ringing in my ear...
Come Together covered by Joe Cocker, Martin Luther this is a famous cover from Across the Universe, but it never gets old. the way the different atmosphere this song brought is just amazing
Eleanor Rigby covered by Rhett & Josh this is an instrumental cover, and it might not mind blown you to pieces, but hearing the string plain and simple is a different experience
Can't Buy Me Love covered by US this is a fun cover and definitely a favorite! plus can't help but notice that love is in the air, as cheesy as that sounds~
And that is it! Hope you all enjoy this post and have a great weekend! xoxo
It's been a very slow this week here in Yellow Land. So many things needed to be done but it felt like a never-ending task.... So i put a bit of something something together and here are 5 tracks that i played most in the past week
Feels Like Yesterday by American Authors it's good to see your face / but i know things won't change / though you seem so far away / feels like yesterday /
Stay (ft. Hayden Calnin) by Tully On Tully i've probably shown my love for this song a couple time in other socmed platform. and i just can't get it outta my head
Blood, Tears and Gold by Hurts i honestly forgot if it's a friend of mine or a book that i read that told me about this song. either way, i'm glad he/she/it did it
Always on the Run by Yuksek i just love the piano and the melody and the whole song
Cough Cough by Everything Evrerything i don't know what to say...my mind is slowly drifting off and shutting down...
Thank you guys for reading and listening, please comment or say something via other socmed about songs, artists or albums that you think i should hear no matter old or new. Have a great weekend!
Sorry for the delay guys, but i can assure you this set of tracks are gonna be awesome. Cause it's...songs from the 90s, bitches! Yeah i grew up in the 90s so i have some kind of love for the era. Besides the 'anthemic' hit such as Wonderwall, Creep and Everbody Hurts thousands of other songs stucked in my mind from that particular era and it'll be awesome to share the nostalgic moment.
Linger by The Cramberries
a few days ago, in the middle of the day the chorus of Linger played in my mind like a broken record. i got home and instantly search for it to fall in love all over again
Around The World by Daft Punk
i think we can go on and on singing along with this track
Common People by Pulp
though i didn't discover this song in the 90s or my young years, i like this song and when i found out this is from the 90s i instantly want to put it in this post
Killing In The Name by Rage Against The Machine
oh man, this song is just...perfect in anyway
Glory Box by Portishead
i discover this song from one of theThe Daily Guru's videos, and i can't help but agree that this is a sexy song....this song instantly became one of my favorites
That's all for this week guys, thank you for reading. Have a nice weekend and until the next post!!
Most of the time, we hear certain songs in a certain mood. And this week has been very weird and confusing... Five chillax smooth catchy tracks to accompany the confused ones.
Killing Switch by Last Lynx
Sugarplum by Eugene McGuinness
Lady Luck by Jamie Woon
Cruel by St. Vincent
Send The Pain On by Chrome Sparks
I hope we all sorted things out in the end..................................................
Hai makhluk penghirup oksigen yang menapaki bumi pertiwi.
Ternyata selain mid-life crisis yang biasanya dialami orang tua di 40s to 50s nya ada juga loh teen life crisis. Ato mungkin ini sesuatu yang gue buat-buat supaya ada judul buat 'fase' yang terjadi di hidup gue. Well...your choice.
Anyway, banyak yah fase yang kita alamin di hidup kita. Ada fase suka main lompat karet sama benteng, ada fase main kartu yu-gi-oh sama pokemon, fase main cooking mama di nds, ampe fase main temple run. Itu aja baru dari perspektif game. Belom dari perspektif musik (yes i have to mention this because i really got through this) mulai dari fase yang dipengaruhi orang tua (beragam dari The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bee Gees, Miles Davis, James Brown, Michael Jackson sampe Culture Club), fase gaul nya anak sd (lagu-lagu disney dan pop rated T lainnya), fase dark age (tenggelam dalam lautan screamo, metal dan hal hal hardcore lainnya), fase anti-mainstream (dimana lo mempromosikan semua band yang menurut lo underrated...dan menolak keras hal-hal yang disajikan radio) sampe akhirnya lo menyerah mengikuti semua 'lifestyle' itu dan mulai dengerin lagu yang emang enak di kuping (yang ternyata campuran dari semua yang diatas itu).
Hidup ternyata lo juga kayak gitu. Gue baru bener-bener paham kenapa pada bilang sma enak (walaupun banyak juga yang gue kenal lebih prefer kuliah) tapi intinya banyak yang mengatakan sma/kuliah ini enak, abis itu mamam deh gigit kuku, dan gue baru paham kenapa. Ini alesannya:
1. Lo jadi harus mikirin hal yang sebelumnya ga pernah lu pikirin amat, yg paling dulu cuma terlintas sesaat dan lu respon dengan komentar sok pinter dan sok mengkritisi. Otak tambah pusing.
2. Tanggung jawab nambah. Gatau kalo yang lain gimana ya, tapi entah krn terlalu mikirn banyak hal yang harusnya gausah dipikirin jd ada hal-hal tertentu yang rasanya bagian dr tanggung jawab kita juga. Tau deh ribet ya gue.
3. Self-discovery. Nah ini nih. INI NIH. WOY.
Dulu gue selalu nanya ke diri gue: kok ada sih yang namanya pencarian diri, masa gatau dirinya siapa kan tau namanya siapa darimana orang tua siapa tujuan ato cita cita apa, bagi yang mikir kayak gini nih gue mau kasih tau aja...semangat. Kalo bisa lu gausah ikut ikutan ada di fase dimana lu mempertanyakan semua hal dan lu harus cari jawabannya sendiri, nikmatin aja apa yang udah pasti dan jalanin.
Tapi gue kasih tau aja, pencarian diri ini nih yang punya efek samping kata krisis yang gue tulis dijudul maupun di paragraf awal postingan ini. Tiba-tiba lo jadi bertanya, sebagai individu yang ga terikat sama keluarga dan institusi lainnya ini, lu tuh siapa? LO TUH SIAPA? Dan gue ga merasa kejawab kalo jawabnya pake sekedar nama.
Jadi pertama: Krisis Identitas.
Lu bingung lu siapa, bagi yang aktivis kampus mungkin ga ngerasain dan semoga enggak, karena lo ngebawa nama kampus dan sejenis nya jadi pasti 'rasanya' masih ada identitas. Tapi buat gue yang...ga jelas ini...selepas sma gue tuh bingung gue siapa. Gue bukan gonji lagi, tapi gue ga ngerasa binusian juga. Gue emang anak paparon, tapi selain itu?
Kedua: Krisis Kepercayaan Diri
Ini juga mematikan nih. DEATHLY DEADLY DIE DEAD, ETC. Lo ngerasa biasa, kopong, standar, pdhl harusnya kita yang 'teenagers' ini invincible dan kece parah. Tapi krn si krisis ini, lo jadi binun, galaw, minder, kuper, jiper, lenje kayak lemper. Gue kasih analogi aja ya: ibarat kata benang merah yang tadinya ditaro di antara benang item tiba tiba dipindah ke kumpulan benang merah juga. Bye bye.
Ketiga: Krisis (fill in the blank)
Gue gatau mau nyebut ini krisis apa...tapi initinya lo dari yang tadinya udah tau gue mau begini terus dicapai dengan itu itu itu ini tiba tiba lu meragukan semua nya dan kembali ke nol. Kosong. Blank. Blanc. Lo jadi mempertanyakan....tujuan hidup lo apa? mau ngapain di hidup ini? Dan sulitnya betapa banget buat nemu jawaban....
Selain itu juga rasanya hampa, hal hal aneh yang dulu ga siap keluar dari otak lo tiba tiba ilang tanpa jejak dan lo jadi ga ada pikiran pikirin spesial lagi. Bengong deh liat kertas kosong.
4. Trust & Genuinity
Pengennya sih balik ke playgroup dimana semua senang bahagia dan baik selalu bukan cuma kalo ada maunya doang...ato at least balik ke sd dimana kalo lu sebel yaudah sebel kalo seneng ya seneng, kaga ada yang namanya zona abu-abu...yaudahlah kalo soal tulus apa enggak bisa panjang lagi curhatnya. Intinya kalo ragu akan ketulusan orang, gausah ragu, lupain aja. Cari muka anak kecil yang senyum balik ke elu, nah 100% tulus dah tu senyum.
Gue mau menarik kesimpulan...tapi apa yah...
Intinya, lagi agak teen life crisis nih. Rasanya clueless dan confused. Semoga yang lain ga ada yang gitu deh yah, soalnya suka bikin bingung....mangat deh yak.
I hope i figure this shit out soon...wait for me.
Bisous!
Weekend is coming up and it's time to hear some good music to accompany you when traffic jam hits the road.
Wasting My Young Years by London Grammar i love the sentimental atmosphere the piano brings that enhances the unique vocals and the steady beats, and come on it's pretty relate-able lyric wise
Never Gonna Let You Go by Esthero a fun and cute track with obsessive psychotic lyrics and catchy notes
Kill and Run by Sia i just need to add one of the soundtracks for the upcoming The Great Gatsby movie, and since everyone is still excited by Florence and Lana's contribution for the soundtrack, we can enjoy Sia's strong voice in Kill and Run that, like reviewers said, more suited in a Bond movie.
Crown On The Ground by Sleigh Bells this one is an oldie but a goodie, definitely not a ballad or a cute pop song but it sure will jiggle your head.
Happy by C2C featuring Derek Martin just play the damn video
That's all for this week! I hope you have a great one :D
P.S. Anyway a lot of cool new albums (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Phoenix, James Blake, etc) came out and will come out, so i'll talk about the ones that have arrived hopefully soon... And the upcoming ones are Vampire Weekend, 30 Seconds to Mars, The National and Daft Punk (and a lot more actually) which we all hope that each one of them are gonna be awesome.
Yep. I'm alive. Eight months has passed by since the last time i posted something. Banyak hal-hal yang udah terjadi, baik kejadian nyata di realita maupun di lembah imaji otak gue. Banyak pelajaran dan kesimpulan yang udah ditarik maupun disingkirin. Fase life's suck gue emang udah lewat. Tapi bukan berarti nothing sucks at all. I just choose to ignore it. Or at least pathetically try. Abis selesai nyapu pecahan otak yang udah melebur kemana-mana, i'll try to post something more often. I do miss blogging.
But the think is, arranging words into a full understandable sentence that make sense is fucking hard. The brain is so fucking spacious and complicated and full of thoughts, un-arranged and intertwined.
Til then.
This fits the moment. Sounds happy, but it's actually a bit sad.
