Let's Go Surfing - The Drums (Day 3 - Song that reminds you of summer)

Di kepala gue kalo “summer” udah otomatis keinget pantai yang sudah pasti juga berkorelasi dengan surf rock. Tadinya mau milih The Beach Boys tapi ga ada lagu mereka yang ada cerita personalnya. Kalau The Drums, gue pernah jadi hardcore fan mereka jaman SMA, download album self-titled dan Portamento via torrent, di-burn ke CD, lalu maksa Acid buat denger karena ngga tahan ngefans dalam kesendirian. Untungnya emang masuk juga di Acid. Sedihnya, belum sempet nonton The Drums di masa-masa itu padahal mereka sempet dateng ke Jakarta, gainget kenapa tapi pasti ujung-ujungnya karena gapunya duit... Namanya juga anak SMA.


Di luar titelnya sebagai band surf rock sebenernya gue dengerin The Drums, terutama album Portamento, karena lagunya ceria-ceria dengan lirik yang sedih banget mampus cenderung suicidal -my kind of song! But darkness aside, lagu Let’s Go Surfing adalah satu dari sedikit lagu The Drums yang liriknya ngga depressing. Pokoknya kalo denger lagu Let’s Go Surfing rasanya langsung pengen ke Bali main di pantai sambil minum es kelapa muda.


Saking sukanya dan karena merasa lagu ini uplifting banget karena liriknya “wake up~ it’s a beautiful morning~ honey~ while the sun is still shining~”, gue merasa lagu ini pas banget jadi alarm bangun tidur waktu jaman TPB. Eh ternyata bukannya jadi semangat bangun malah jadi ENEG banget denger lagu ini, langsung benci dan sempet agak PTSD kalo ga sengaja denger lagu ini di Spotify.


Setelah puasa bertahun-tahun gamau denger lagu ini (iya gue emang lebay), sekarang sudah bisa kembali mendengarkan Let’s Go Surfing yang memicu keinginan liburan ke Bali yang menggebu-gebu dan pengen joged.


Oh mamaaa I wanna go surfingggg

Oh mamaaa I don’t care about nothinggg

UTS Special: Comforting Sounds Mixtape

Besok uts PRD dan sempet-sempetnya posting ginian meheheh gara-gara udah cabut demi belajar prd+mat tadi siang supaya malemnya bisa hearing, terus hearingnya di cancel *ba dum tss*. So let's just make it quick, and these are the list of songs you wish to hear in this most hectic period of the semester, enjoy! Happy (Pharrell Williams) Sulit untuk nggak senyum atau minimal nodding your head setiap kali denger lagu ini, yang selalu ngingetin kita untuk merasa senang ditambah campaign 24hoursofhappiness.com yang uber-awesome! Clap along if you know what happiness is to you :):) Með Suð Í Eyrum (Sigur Ros) Biarpun Sigur Ros udah ngeluarin dua album setelah album ini (yang bau-bau dark semua emang), sampai kapan pun lagu ini dan Gobbledigook bakal selalu jadi Sigur Ros' most cheerful songs. This song will always be your ice cream under the too shiny sun. This Too Shall Pass (OK Go) Pertemuan gue dengan lagu ini adalah waktu lagi ke mcd hampir tengah malem setelah ha...

Is this it?

Have you ever did a real bad thing in your life and live with a constant guilt afterwards, that you thought every single bad thing that keeps happening to you is just the way of universe punishing you -and that you deserve every tiny part of the pain? I can't really recall when was the first time I start living with this horrible mindset weighing me, but it does took me months of repetitive small unnecessary breakdowns to finally losing it last night and cry the shit out over The Strokes' Is This It -alone in my hotel room, thinking I am so done with universe punishing me and shit. I snapped last night and when I was finally too tired to continue crying, I thought to myself that maybe universe was actually never that evil, maybe I did this to myself, maybe the things that break me are just a product of my own belief -believing that I need to suffer from every cosmic surprise that went south from my own expectation and immediately perceiving it as another form of life punishme...
