Thoughts Chapter 2: Believe Me by Ellie Goulding

Believe Me by Ellie Goulding
I love this song, the thoughts I have when I listen to this song every time. Imagining the intensity the wind creates when the song starts. My mind goes somewhere peaceful open. And then the lyrics start to hit every nerve in my body...All throughout the song, the words and the emotional feeling gives me the thought that the song is talking about goals, music, and love and loss. Personally, this song related to me for the thoughts and ideas in my head about making music and creating stories. The talk of love is related to the love I have for my grandmother to passed away, whom I feel is the one who gives me the strength to go on, and the love I had for a girl in middle school, whom I feel is the one who gives me the motivation and the inspiration to write, songs or books.

This song gives me the feeling of happiness. I remember when I was little I always wished to be that main character guy on television where things would work out for him, in love and family, but if everything did work out the way I wanted it to, my grandmother doesn't pass away, and I end up in a happy relationship with the girl I had a crush on in middle school, where would my drive be, where would it come from? The trials and tribulations I went through in my life has given me the strength to go on, the strength to do more with my life. The strength to believe in me.

Happily Melancholic Favorite #6: Spark by Moumoon

Man, I love Moumoon, especially their new mini album, Spark. The title track is so happy and great. Puts a big smile on my face.
It's a great song to listen to when your driving around the world in the morning. The whole EP is great for the morning really.

Sorry about the crazy Japanese obsession right now, it's just a seasonal phase that comes and goes.

Here's an English song for you just in case you don't like songs in a different language.

Melancholy In Love Pt. III: I Know by Algebra Blessett

I'm sorry, it's been a month. I've been gone for a whole month cause it was Black History Month. I love celebrating it. I was rediscovering R&B, Hip-Hop, and Rap music through February and I was watching a lot of Black TV Shows. God, they're addicting. I love being black. Anyways....
I love the vocal sounds of Algebra. To me, Ms. Blessett does a great job with her Pure R&B sounds and Pure R&B vocals. Lyrics that are true and filled with emotions. My favorite song of her's is, "I Know". The melodies and the beats of I Know are amazing. This song is on the Girlfriends Soundtrack. This song reminds me of the show Girlfriends but it also reminds me of myself. Growing, Learning and Knowing.
Here's I Know by Algebra Blessett

Hope you enjoy the song!





I didn't make this video but I really like it. I had to share it with you guys.

6th Happily Melancholic Song: It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas by Sam Phillips


I'm sure some of you have heard of Sam Phillips infamous Long Play deal she's got going on this year. Basically she's giving subscribers a year of free music for 52$! 5 Digital EPs, Bonus Tracks/Rarities, Outtakes, Blog, Journal, Radio Talk, and so much more. Plus, she's giving her subscribers a free full-length digital album of her upcoming album. Set to release this fall. I know that it's a little late to post a Christmas song. But, you know what, I was broke during Christmas so I couldn't subscribe. I subscribed Thursday night and I feel like I've gotten my money's worth. Sam Phillips are so generous. You know, I've noticed that it's usually women that offer their music for free more than men. That's why I check on my female artists before the males. They don't give you much unless it was promoted on TV. Then they'll start giving a song(s) away.
ANYWAYS................On with the song.
It Doesn't Feel Like Christmas makes me smile but makes me feel really sad at the same time because.....Well, if you ever watched Gilmore Girls and you heard Sam Phillips vocalizing to a melody. For example....

I love that la la.
Well the songs reminds me of Gilmore Girls which makes me happy. (You know, I sometimes think that the only reason why I really like Sam Phillips is because her voice reminds me of Gilmore Girls.) I miss that show. It was supposed to have 8 seasons, not 7! Anyways, the reason why it makes me so sad is because it reminds me that even though I had a good Christmas last year it'll be bad this year. I just feel it in my bones. Plus the lyrics are so sad and yet the vocals are so sweet. Especially the vocalizing parts. Sam Phillips really knows how to hit home sometimes.

Happily Nostalgic: I Feel Music by The Jealous Girlfriends

I really like this song. The melody and rock based sound reminds me of the 90s. The vocals of this song are really great. If I ever made a music video of this song I'd have a teen kid running around searching for something. Possibly his love? Hmm?...Anyways...
