Day #16: List 10 Songs That You're Loving Right Now (30 Day Writing Challenge)

In terms of music, I listen to all kinds of music. Okay let me rephrase that. I try to be open-minded to all kinds of music. The reason why I said that is cos I listen to songs of different languages, including those that I don't understand. The alien languages include Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Hindu.

Back then, when I was younger, I was very into anime. I was very into drawing as a result and would concoct my own stories with storylines that are akin to the anime that I watched. Then I would visualize how the opening and ending themes of my original anime would play out in my mind. I was very fascinated by anime back then. I could care less that I was ridiculed because of that. I had a hobby and it makes me happy. I'm not harming anyone and it's not anybody's business so who are others to condemn my hobby?

That aside, that mini-anecdote is meant to imply that I listened to plenty of Japanese songs back then, mainly those I knew from the anime that I had watched. Unfortunately, now I have sort of outgrew anime and manga so I hardly listen to any Jap songs. The good news is that I have been listening to a lot of Korean songs after getting into the Kpop craze. It's funny how I started listening to Korean songs after listening to a BigBang song 'Blue' from my friend's phone. It all just propelled from there. It's so amazing just by thinking about it.

Anyway, fast forward to now, I have a number of songs that I'm currently in love with right now. In no particular order (again ^^;), here they are:

1. Good Luck by B2ST

2. Shadow by B2ST

3. We Up by B2ST

4. 12:30 by B2ST

5. Sherlock by SHINee

6. View by SHINee

7. Everybody by SHINee

8. Crazy by Jonghyun ft. Iron

9. Beautiful Liar by VIXX LR (Leo and Ravi)

As you can obviously tell, I am currently in a B2ST and SHINee mood. Well they have really great and memorable songs that I can't help but be addicted. So I present you #10 which is totally in English :)

10. A Thousand Years (cover by Melissa Benoist and Jacob Artist from Glee)

This is a really great cover in the form of duet. The emotions flow really well both singers. No offense to the original singer, I prefer this version. I feel like I'm drowning in an overwhelming amount of feels when I hear this duet version. I've never thought that a song can touch me so deep.

Additional mention - All Of Me (cover by Darren Criss)

A Thousand Years isn't the only cover that's better than the original in my opinion. I love the lyrics in All Of Me. The lyrics are filled with contradictions which are relatable in a relationship, as I have learnt as a communications student.
