My 'sail to the moon'

Kekalahan.

Aku tidak mahu..eh jap jap. Tahap cikai English aku sudah macam longkang, please aku mahu practice. Itu point sebenar aku bukak blog ini pun.

Failure

The truth is, everyone could be given all the clichés in the world about overcoming ‘failure’. But once we’re on the spotlight of failure circus-team, we went blank. Total darkness. And then when you reached out for help, those who you didn’t expect to be there were there; while those who you expected, weren’t.

Expectation

Oh I went over and over again about expectations in my past entries. So maybe I should simplify this: "though we somewhat can’t really escape and be expectation-free; I have to admit, IT SUCKS. To have expectations sucks!" You happy now, Mai? Hehe jk..jk..

“We are accidents waiting to happen.”

Accidents:

1. an undesirable or unfortunate happening that occurs unintentionally and usually results in harm, injury, damage, or loss; casualty; mishap
2. any event that happens unexpectedly, without a deliberate plan or cause
3. chance; fortune; luck

It's a line from a Radiohead song, btw. Look at that definition...ain't it a contradiction?

Let me tell you a few things about Radiohead. Not their fun-facts though. If you want that, you can google. Just a short note about them from my personal view.

Honestly, I feel a bit ashamed to promote this band to my friends—saying that it is my favourite band and that I love them a bit too much for a bunch of (awesome) people who don’t even know me. Ashamed because my friends usually would laugh at me and said: these are your suicide songs or are they only your lullabies?

But I really don’t care. Everyone’s entitled for their own opinion, including their choice of music.
That aside; I love their music. I love how emotions are carried by their song in ways that I couldn’t sense from most music brought out by other bands.

I couldn’t explain how theirs are really special. I could understand why other people would criticize them. But at times like these; their sound are one of the little things that can help me get distracted from my internal flash card thoughts that can drag me down.

“We tried but there’s nothing we can do…” (A bit consolation there?)

“Over my dead body”.

Don’t get me wrong, though. I listen to a whole of other lists of bands from different genres. And yes I do have the don’t-listen-lists. It’s just that, no bands/artist has yet to overtake them from #1.

Pablo Honey: The least listened (by me) of all their albums. I know; it's my lost.



The Bends and OK Computer are the first two records I ever loved. But since they came out with Hail, I kind of left these out.

Kid A and Amnesiac; when they came out with these two albums I thought they're going to die. They made them records while they were away from each other. Kid A is probably my younger brother's favourite. Probably my second/ third. It can change places with In Rainbows.

Yes. My number 1. Hail to the Thief. Oh "Wolf at the Door"! And "Go to Sleep"?...perghhh..."A Punchup at the Wedding". "2+2=5". "Where I End and You Begin". And of course not forgetting "There There". Ala...Basically every song in the album will do. Any song from the band, hell yeah!!

In Rainbows. The 7th LP.
++all the b-sides...++all the bootlegs...++all the left-out songs...++all the side/solo projects

I would like to babble more about 'em. But nevermind. Eh, by the by...while writing this, I also felt like... It's dejavu?

"You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking..."

And no; I don't think Radiohead songs are all about negativity and giving up and seeing things hopelessly. They are exactly the opposite (especially starting from Hail).
