Been back to my old haunts, listening to Gun Club again. That first record is just really special, and I’m also glad we got the remastered release of Miami back in 2020. It has some fantastic songs on it but suffered from poor recording, mixing and mastering. Mother of Earth might be their best ever song, and Carry Home is also up there. Jeffrey Lee Pierce was such a fantastic lyricist.

My new Depresion song: 朴树 – 平凡之路 (“Ordinary Road”)

(No Subtitles :/ , so here are lyrics: https://singandlearnchinese.com/ping-fan-zhi-lu-pu-shu/)

Secondary Depression song: 鄧紫棋 G.E.M. – 一路逆風 AGAINST THE WIND

This one is sort of uplifting: 王力宏 Wang Leehom – 就是現在 “Now Is the Time” (Has Mandarin “Rap” lines lol)

This one is completely English: 王力宏 Wang Leehom – Forever Your Dad

(Damn I wish one of my parents made a song dedicated to me lol)

This one is basically what I feel about my mom: 王力宏 Leehom Wang – Can You Feel My World

(no subtitles :/ , here’s some random fan’s site/blog I found that I skimmed and translation looks fine… https://bunnyandbear.wordpress.com/2008/11/21/can-you-feel-my-world-wang-lee-hom-王力宏/)

I’m gonna sing this to her and test her reaction lmao… Lets hope I don’t get disowned xD

This one is interesting, mixed of Mandarin and substantial amount of lines in English: 王力宏 Wang Leehom – I’m Alive

(no English subtitles… :/ , so again, here’s some random site: https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/王力宏/I-m-Alive/translation/chinese-romaji)

If links seems broken or wrong, lemme know

I have a bunch more, but don’t wanna spam like 20 links here lol… I’m probably gonna make a comm later and post them there.

I found that my taste in bass-filled, rhythmic electronic hip hop music is much more mainstream than I thought it was. And that’s nice! Gives me many more options.

I discovered this song via our uni radio recently:

Dominik Hartz & Frank Lotion – Turbofresh

Cryptic Writings by Megadeth. It’s overlooked and dismissed by most fans, but the song writing is top tier. It’s got plenty of thrash moments woven through a songwriting and melody driven lens. Similar vein to Youthanasia but with an even wider breadth of styles and sounds. I forgot how much I love it. Ive been really digging listening to albums front to back lately, and this one really benefits from being listened to in its entirety. I highly recommend a revisit if you’re so inclined!
