Album: Cry Baby

It all started out with me listening to Halsey's Colors, I've listened to this long time ago but then I decided to just go back and listen to it again after so many years (is it really that long?)

Then I saw comments BUT honestly I can't remember how I found Melanie.  But the comment section This is so bad and I feel like a bad fan I can't even say I am one.  But it happened earlier this year and I found her and I learned about her style of music and how she made them, she plays guitar, she writes poem and that basically leads her to writing songs and lyric and that I think is an awesome thing ever and she's cute and her sense of fashion is cute yet creepy but I love it anyway.  It even made me wanted to try that kind of hairstyles and colors, I wanted to dye my hair with two different colors and wear a nose ring.  OMG I really do want to wear my make up like her (just that I don't really wear make up)

I super glad that I found her and her very first debut album called Cry Baby.  It even comes with a booklet telling stories about a character named Cry Baby and it is written in poems and the stories are told in songs and the poems are written based on the track list and there's illustration in which Melanie would love to have that kind of drawings drawn to her body.  Honestly, I'm not a fan of vintage dolls, western dolls, not sure how the dolls look like in my place many many years ago but the way she involved the dolls in her art piece is just weirdly pleasant looking and I don't mind at the sight of the dolls.  They're creepy.

Out of the tracks, I first listened to Pity Party or was it Pacify Her?  I watched the MV first before listening to the whole album.  I like Pity Party especially the part where she loses her mind and says

"I'm laughing, I'm crying, I feel like I'm dying"

This part pretty much explains my emotion back then, and I guess that is why I love this song.  Again it was about my workplace issue and my own inner conflict.

The MV explains the song well, and so is her other MVs.  I like MVs that really have the relation to the title of the songs or the whole story of the songs.  It just gives me the impression of the music being high quality and effective.

Her messages are coming for me.  She really reaches out and we understand her and her stories.  I watched her lives, interviews and The Voice she was in and I fell in love with her version of La Roux Bulletproof.  I DO LOVE IT A LOT.  It is just so manja and sexy.  Never would I have thought that that song could be so sexy.

I love the whole album despite I have my favorite.  I can say that her first album is perfect.  She has a lot work to do for the second just to top her own record of the first album.  It is well organized.  Her ideas and concept can be seen through the whole album.  She introduces a character, Cry Baby which I believe it is her own self and other minor characters like the boyfriends, her family members or at least her other self's family.  The stories go on from one song to another and also a few side stories like the Mrs. Potato.  She conveys her ideas and opinions through tracks like that but it does not go too far from her main concept.

I like the lyrics of course and how they are poetic and just easy to sing along and I have fun figuring out her songs both by the comments and my own interpretation.  She is indeed an artist.  She makes art and I am so glad I found her and I wish she makes more and more good art in the future.  I hope I can own her physical album and if she ever writes books I want them all and woa PLEASE WRITE SOME!  This may sound silly but because of her I once had the urge to make songs too.  But I don't even play musical instrument so I'm gonna just leave that side of me here.  It's funny right how we can be influenced, how I can be influenced like this.  

I like the stories behind every tracks of hers.  For instance, Training Wheels is about the girl having the intention of stepping to another level of relationship and the MV portrays that in a child's play situation: she wants the boy to take off the training wheels of the bike.

It's genius. 

Soap is about how you wish you didn't say some words (You know words that make you seemed stupid and feel stupid and make you feel regretted) and you wish you can wash your mouth for saying it.

"Why do I always spill"

And yes, I don't need to talk about her vocal, I like it and I like it a lot, husky and raspy and she can sing.  Her stage attitude is the one I like too, like how Gerard Way and Katy Perry would on stage.  I really am bad at describing huh hahhah

here is a few bits on her vocal not arranged by me obviously

She has cute dance style too hahhah!
But ya you should check out her Pacify Her video
They call it noodle dance ahhaha LOVE IT
of course I love everything about her right??

She did a lot of covers too
CHECK THEM OUT

Look at that tooth gap, super cute

My favorite songs are Play Date, Pacify Her, Alphabet Boy (I love how she plays with words here)

She has a lot of MVs from this album and I love it when singers made a lot of MVs out of their tracks because I want to see more of them in action together with the songs.

Pacify Her

Cry Baby

Dollhouse

Mrs. Potato Head

Alphabet Boy

Carousel

Sippy Cup

A LOT RIGHT?

The best part of making of these videos is that she directs them herself.

She even has perfume commercial.  Cute one!

OMG THIS IS BASICALLY ABOUT MELANIE AND NOT HER ALBUM

Journal: Upon Adulthood

English translation of this song

MELTED by AKMU

The blue ocean that the red sun used to wash its face turns black
The white sky that had clouds and rain and the wind turns gray
I leave the darkness that finds my heart
Even the cold shadow that covers the night starts to harden

If the ice melts, a warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold? Why is it so cold?
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold

The blue ocean that the red sun used to wash its face
I look at the past warmth that is deeply buried (too late get it out)
I wish the cold in the world of adults would be gone too

I wish the frozen love will melt away now

I leave the darkness that finds my heart

Even the cold shadow that covers the night starts to harden

If the ice melts, a warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold? Why is it so cold?

If the ice melts, a warmer song would have come out
But why is the ice so cold? Why is it so cold?
Why are they so cold
Why are they so cold

Such a beautiful song.  Written with talent and bad experience.  The symbols used are just so good.  So poetic and I like the line if the ice melts, a warmer song would have come out.  

It means a lot.

Guys, this is why I love poetry.  and this pretty much explains why I am such a sucker for some songs similar to this and I'm a crybaby you assholes and why I am AKMU's fan.  

I'm such a late bloomer, I only managed to figure myself about this passion of mine quite late and I'm not sure what to feel. 

So when I was looking for more videos for the previous entry, I browsed for AKMU, because they made beautiful songs and MVs and I remembered watching this one when they debuted and I like the MV and I like the boy (he's cute) and also I can't really remember what I thought of this MV the first time I saw it but I know I like the song.  But after watching it back just now, and I actually cried like really crying and I lied down on the cold floor of my room then I was thinking why would I watch something that is so frustrating, you know the boy had a hard time in the MV, even the dog betrayed him and when he thought that owh I can smile now because there's a dog but the dog barked at you and he lost it and he barked at it instead.  Like he is so frustrated, he lost his bags, and got beaten by an adult.  

Then, I sat up straight and I decided to read the comments and I saw this:

Not sure if I can show the names but this is not a bad thing and
I think it is okay to just leave the names here because they made a good comments anyway



and I was like woa I never thought it this way about the mv and the song.  I never learned the lyric anyway and I didn't watch any interviews on AKMU about their songs (I probably gonna do it after this)  And it hits me, it hits me real good and how I can totally relate this to my life right now and how it is so true.
So basically I am an adult now even though I don't feel like it and I feel so not fit in among the adults at my workplace since I'm working and I pay my own bills and actually have bills and drive my own car and so I guess that's adult enough to be called as adult.  I am not ready and at times I even feel like wanting to become friends with my teenage students because I just miss what they have with their friends and I want that back.

I officially a government school teacher for a year, yesterday was the anniversary of me and my fellow friends.  A day or two before that. I had a conflict with a colleague of mine and she's such a bitch and I hate her now and everything she does bother me a lot like please don't even talk to me as if there's nothing happened.  I never felt being hated like this before.  It sucks since you're alone there and I lost my utmost trust on them.  I really am.  I thought they were perfect but then this happened and I felt so out of place and how my mornings are ruined because of that critics she gave me and also every time I look at her.  What an asshole she is.

Then I remember everything that ever happened to me since I first got posted there and begin my life as a working adult.  That was the critical point where I really feel like ohh this is it, this is adulthood.  I don't even got excited when I got my first paycheck (not really a check) and the first time I saw the boss in that place, it was already bad enough, like she didn't seem to be welcoming me and all I needed that time was just comforting words, like bitch this is hard enough why make it hard on me and can't you even smile at me?

And can't you guys tell that I don't want this job?
I don't mind
and clearly
I made a mistake.
So don't go around and assume that I have nothing else if I don't have this job.
Can't you see this is complicated
really bitch?
YOU ARE AN ADULT
YOU GUYS ARE ALL ADULTS
and clearly you were once like me too
or was it easy for you?
and can you guys like stop asking me whether I have a boyfriend and some even asking me when will I get married?
Like does that really bother you? Mind your own business, bitches.

you guys treated me like I have a lot to give.
you treated me like I know everything.
You expect so much from me.
Can't you see I'm just a newbie adult?
I am sorry if I don't act like one because I never been an adult before and there's no fcking manual on that.
I'd call myself a late bloomer.
I know myself better than any of you.
I do.
Lucky for you guys if adulthood comes so naturally to you,
and read me thoroughly first instead of bombing me with your assumptions just because you are butt-hurting of my existence.

Currently my friends are having hard times, my best friend is sick and I feel helpless that I am not there with her and I feel so bad about it.  I sent comforting words that I really hope to comfort her but I know my words are nothing to her illness but I want you to know that I cried too but I have to be strong for you.
And my housemate, she suddenly shut herself from her friends, only negative status updates on fb and I don't even know why.  But the status was about work and her colleagues.  I don't even know what I am supposed to do and I'm scared.
I have a friend that said that she's depressed.  That she might have depression.  I know it's a lot more to that term, but if that what she feels then, that's enough.  She had enough, she's tired, she's sad and she's not happy.  She was so fine but then it just happened.  I understand that, and I feel restless about it.

AND YEAH ADULTS ARE COLD
give us a break you asshole morons
you guys are not helping anything
I never wanted to be like you guys anyway
but it just happen.
we just grow old.
You guys give many bad examples and expect me to accept them?
I feel you, AKMU.
Our first time as an adult facing other adults and it sucks.

Ya you guys have it hard too, but don't let it on us
vent on your kids instead.
They're gonna be like me like my friends someday
they'll be adults too and the way I act will be theirs too.
so stop complaining about your marriage and rely on us the not married ones.
What if I don't get married at all?
(again with the assumptions I'll get married one day, that bitch even said how can I "branak pinak kalu tu pun xtaw"
HEY BITCH
first, you eavesdroppin?? and think that's okay for you to make an opinion right there right then when I was actually not talking to you, bitch? and did I ask for your opinion, bitch?
and secondly, I was only asking silly things about my chocolate spread, I was just trying to be a goodie2 girl to my desk neighbor person, is that really a bother that I want to be manja2??  If you were joking, you're not funny.

Album : Crazy Life

I love this kind of cover 

This is mainly just the intro of them by me but with minimum details, not a review.  So many things to say but uhhhh. Anyway~ Yay! So this is one of my current music obsessions!  I listen to them in the car, in my mp4, some tracks in my phone.  I love their talent, their great covers, their wonderful songs and their good looks!  I first encountered their cover of Meghan Trainor's All About That Bass, I love it instantly, it's unique with their own country touch, I never feel even more attracted to country music~ I've seen one of their live concert in the Youtube of course They are organized team, and funny guys.

And yeah I have a thing with a bass voice  heheh.. so Tim Foust part always had my ears all about that bass!  Awesome bass, rich in its way.  And Austin is the Home Free heartthrob as Tim introduced him in their concert, and yeah no wonder because I too think the same  I saw him first but then I can't decide which one is my bias hahahhaha. But I like to see him in Champagne Taste (Beer budget) haha..not because he's topless ehh, his hair and the funny dance and their song mixed up, I fell for that part ngeee.

For the Crazy Life album, name taken from one of the tracks, I love most of them! The Hunter Hayes medley, Your Man, Crazy Life, Champagne taste (beer budget), Ring of fire, and idk all of them 

They have their own songs too:

Crazy Life is wonderful, inspiring piece!

and more!  Check them out!  I even save a playlist of them in my youtube account.

Rihanna "Four Five Seconds" lyrics

[Verse 1: Rihanna]

I think I've had enough, I might get a little drunk

I say what's on my mind, I might do a little time

Cause all of my kindness, is taken for weakness

[Hook: Rihanna]

Now I'm FourFiveSeconds from wildin'

And we got three more days 'til Friday

I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday, mornin'

I swear I wish somebody would tell me

Ooh thats all I want

[Kanye West]

Woke up an optimist, sun was shining I'm positive

Then I heard you was talkin' trash

Hold me back I'm bout' to spaz

[Hook]

Now I'm FourFiveSeconds from wildin'

And we got three more days 'til Friday

I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday, mornin'

I swear I wish somebody would tell me

Ooh thats all I want

[Bridge]

And I know that you're up tonight

Thinkin' how could I be so selfish

But you called bout a thousand times wondering where I been

Now I know that your up tonight

Thinkin' how could I be so reckless

But I just can't apologize, I hope you can understand

[Kanye West]

If I go to jail tonight, promise you'll pay my bail

See they want to buy my pride, but that just ain't up for sale

See all of my kindness, is taken for weakness

[Hook]

Now I'm FourFiveSeconds from wildin'

And we got three more days 'til Friday

I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday, mornin'

I swear I wish somebody would tell me

Ooh thats all I want

Now I'm FourFiveSeconds from wildin'

And we got three more days 'til Friday

I'm just tryna make it back home by Monday, mornin'

I swear I wish somebody would tell me

Ooh thats all I want

Song: Meghan Trainor

MEGHAN! I LOVE YOU ALREADY!

A combination of nice lyric, nice dance, nice mv, nice voice and nice everything!  Just love this instantly!  Makes me remind the beauty of music!  Just a total love!  That booteh booteh!  WIll be my obsession for this very next second!  Just classy! I may be exaggerating but this is how I feel, can't help myself.  I listened to four of her songs now and

Album: La Roux

I had this album quite a long time ago and thus gone my first impression, hmm I should occupy myself with notebook on this stuff and the review.  Uhh.  But, I have always listened to the Bulletproof and it took me like years before I had the desire to have the whole album.  Maybe I don't want to disappoint myself.  I just really love the track.  And few years before, I watched a video, a live one and she sang with her eyes closed and I was like a bit turned off by that and her singing wasn't to my liking.  But now, I searched any live videos and I love her so much and yeah of course La Roux as a whole!  She sings just as nice as other singers should be!  I like her performance, it is indeed a worthy shot if we would go to her concert and see her on stage!  She is energetic!  And in one performance, she reminds me of Gerard Way!  She is crazy.

My favorite tracks are Bulletproof (since forever), and In for the kill. I love the album as a whole.  A techno genre that I can include in my list or something.  I should write more.

She used to be in my hate list but now she is one of the top on my favorite list!  Lesson to be learnt here is not to hate 100% on something or on someone and not to give your 100% when you love something or someone this applies to your lagha interest la at least.  So I just finished listen to all the tracks here.  I love them.  My favorite are O.M.G. , One Way Love, and Closer!  She should make more solo albums and also be in SISTAR too all the time!  You guys are just great~  .  HyoRin .  Hwiting!  For both me & you hahah!  

 

 

And yeah I would like to dedicate this album to my sweet friend Siew Ling because today is your birthday! You share the same year which HyoRin was born~  :D You must be smiling now & I am glad you found your own female celebrity that you fancy most~  And I found mine, Rihanna.  Haha Im sorry I brought her up here.  Thanks for being my friend too.

Hyorin sent a cake for you!

Now Playing : HyoRin- OMG

Ps: I think I have a gift for you, a small one.  I hope you like it. 

Album : Origin of Love

At first this album didnt impress me much but after I studied all of them, it feels great!  I love this album as much as I love the previous two!  I got the deluxe version so it has different mixes!  Acoustic version always sounds as good as the original version!  Especially 'Love You When Im drunk'  the piano sounds so good!  The 'Origin of Love' is nice too,  'Tah Dah' was the first to grab my attention.  Then 'Lola', 'Step With Me', 'Make you Happy' and I listened the 'Popular Song' version with Ariana Grande & I super love that but it wasnt in the album, I mean the one in the album is in a slower version.  So as usual, I like Mika's pieces.  From this album, the songs have girls' names like Emily & Lola.  If there are more, tell me, I may be overlooked.  I havent study the lyrics yet.  Maybe I look up to them when I want to write a one leaf about them!  In fact I wrote one & Im gonna make a section as 'one leaf' or something.. Im not a good writer but at least I can write.  Just to enhance my skill.  It is becoming real rusty.  Yaa the music are awesome as usual & I dance to them.  Also, I think he tried a lil bit diff with this album.  There is a bit techno or at least what I thought.  The 'Make you Happy' track.  Yes? No? Apart from that the lyrics of the tracks are cool & awesome XD.  I wish I can write like that. 

Is this happening to me?
Have I lost all my defenses?
Should I wait around and see
What it's like to lose my senses?
Always looking for the chance
From the high ground to the ditches
But the chance I'll never miss
Now I know what happiness is~ ♪

not mine

been mori-ing a lot.  looking for decoden stuff, miniature-lover at heart

Ps: I finished watching K-On! atm Im buying Sylvanian product, cant wait!
