Day #22: Put your music on shuffle and post the first ten songs (30 Day Writing Challenge)

Okay, I admit I'm feeling really tired and sleepy right now. I still have a piece of homework that I have not done yet and funnily enough, that's the only homework I have for the entire week. On the other hand, I have like 4 piece of assignments due next week on top of my own personal goals and targets. I really need to fix my priority and motivation level cos my attitude towards homework is worsening OTL. So I intentionally chose a prompt that is super easy that I could do it with little effort. I don't know but I'm also feeling less motivated towards my writing challenge and it's only less than 10 days left lol. I really need to slap myself to reality awake. I think as I'm nearing the end of semester, I'm becoming less alive as time goes by lol.

1) Clarity (feat. Foxes) by Zedd

I first heard this song from Glee and then I kept hearing this song repeatedly from TV commercials that I just have to download it. I've never watched the official music video before, if this song had one. So I never knew how the actual artists look like. Maybe except for Zedd but I am 95% sure Zedd is a man cos when Zedd came to my country, MTV kept replaying commercials featuring this news and they showed Zedd and played this song so I assumed that's Zedd lol. But most of the song, it seems to be sung by a female singer so I'm really not sure...and I'm not inclined to find out. At least. Not yet.

2) Complication by Rookiez is Punk'd

This is known as the first opening song for the anime Durarara!! And yes the actual title has exclamation points in it. I used to love the heck of this anime. I watched it while it was still airing back then before it exploded in popularity. My favourite character was Shizuo cos he's strong and don't-give-a-damn kind of anime characters I'm naturally drawn towards. I was also in love with the opening cos it's using its own unique style of introducing all of the characters, with their full names attached.

3) Big Time Rush by Big Time Rush

As much as I don't want to admit it, I was actually really really REALLY obsessed with Big Time Rush back then. It was the first fandom that I entered where I heavily relied on Tumblr and a fan website for the current news. That time was so crazy. I listened to all of their songs like there was no tomorrow and I even flaunted my obsession towards my classmates and friends. I felt like face-palming my face right now haha. The hilarious thing is that the song never actually say its title throughout the song. lol. My favourite member was Carlos and he's already married now. I thought he was the best singer in the band and always ranted about his lack of lines, even in his own self-composed song, 'Incredible'. Of course, years later, I learnt that what I had done is a case of 'defending your faves'. lol

4) My Dark Side (Glee Ver.) by Darren Criss

This song was played during that Superhero episode. The Glee Club in McKinley High had their trophy stolen from the Warblers in Dalton High. Blaine went back to his former school to confront them. They tried to bring him back to the school and they burst into an impromptu song and dance number. It was funny but I really like Grant Gustin in the scene.

5) Check Yes Juliet by We The Kings

This is just one of those songs that was popular and played numerous times in the radio and in my friends' handphones. I still think the title should have been 'Run Baby Run'. haha.

6) Jangan Berubah by Taufik Batisah

In case you're wondering, this title is actually in Malay and the entire song is sung in Malay by the flawless singer Taufik Batisah. He's a popular local singer in my country. I personally think he's talented. He even composes and writes his own songs.

7) Just Right by GOT7

This song was good and fun to hear with the music video. OMG JACKSON AND WHIPPED CREAM I really can't watch that scene with a straight face. haha.

8) Heaven by Ailee

The funny thing is that I first heard this song in a fanvideo lol. I usually don't watch fan videos unless I recognize the song and artist but I made an exception for this particular fan video. It's a beautiful song and full of feels. I didn't expect it to be sung by Ailee.

9) Live While You're Young (Glee Ver.) by Grant Gustin

I don't like One Direction but I love hearing covers of their songs. I think Grant Gustin sang this song with great vigor and I really love their performance.

10) Lips of an Angel by Hinder
I haven't listened to this song in a long time. I love how honest the lyrics are and this is back when mainstream music was actually good. Such raw emotions but at the same time, not totally unrestrained and various musical instruments are used. This song just brings me back to those days.

Of course, I wanted to fulfill the prompt by just listing down all the songs but of course that would be the LAZY thing to do so I inserted a statement or two. That way, it does not seem that I am cutting corners.
