[notafraidof]

my takes on icarus falls

probably not gonna be Super Fresh Hot takes since i’m five feet up his ass, but what’re you gonna do

“let me” - ★★★✩✩ - the melody is a bop and a half, but i can’t stop rolling my eyes at “for the rest of my life” bc………… nobody can promise that lmao. also… is he still with gigi?? who he singin to. the falsetto won me over tho

“natural” - ★★★½✩ - issa tune i can groove to, but the lyrics are a teeeeny bit lackluster (my expectations are sky-high though lmao). like why did he repeat “like the bluest ocean”…… no need for it. and could he not think of other forces of nature than a hurricane?? bruh i can think of six off the top of my head. also the “come together right now” bit makes me wanna say “over me”

“back to life” - ★★★✩✩ - not a whole lot to say about this one? i liked it but it didn’t feel Life Changing y’know? also my gay ass was sad about all the “she”s

“common” - ★★★★✩ - the melody is SO GOOD. my naïve person-lover isn’t a big fan of calling other couples gray and common, but honestly he said i’m fuckin beautiful so

“imprint” - ★★★✩✩ - a Smooth Bop, i love the line “if the planets all faded away” and the CORNY ASS “jumpin’ like mario…don’t lose a life” A CUTE NERD WHO I LOVE!! i just think most of the sentiments have been said a hundred times in other (more iconic) R&B songs. also again with the “girl” shit, i wanna insert myself into the song, zaniel !!!!!

“stand still” - ★★★★✩ - i don’t entirely understand the metaphors… but everything sounds pretty and like if elton john tried R&B and i’m into it

“tonight” - ★★✩✩✩ - i’ve heard this exact shit a million tiiiiiiimes zayn, it’s not original, dude. 1D fuckin did it with lwwy in 2012 my guy. can’t fault him for the vocal run though, he always sounds good (& i do think of him when i feel myself)

“flight of the stars” - ★★★½✩ - melody line is FRESH and i love it. kinda sad it sounds like it’s just about a relationship? bruh a song about a girl who’s literally following stars could be So Much More

“if i got you” - ★★★★½ - SPACE ZAYN #CONFIRMED -- ALSO, ZAYN’S CALLIN ME BABE I LOVE IT

“talk to me” - ★★★✩✩ - not gonna ngl i know this is Yet Another Sex Song but. my heart does the pitter pat imagining it I NEVER CLAIMED THIS WAS UNBIASED

“there you are” - ★★★½✩ - Powerful Vocals and sweet sentiments!! “i’m drunk and i need you” has been driven right into the ground, but he sounds so genuine and i love him

“i don’t mind” - ★★★★✩ - for a sec i thought this was his “i won’t mind” cover lmao oops. THE LQ PIANO IS SO NICE!!!!! more acoustic instruments please zayn!! boy said “it’s lit” which made me SNORT. he has the voice of an angel and i melt at his falsetto so 4/5

“icarus interlude” - ★★★✩✩ - boy’s good at interludes, but like. that corny-ass yves saint laurent flex. and again w “girl” and Everything Has to Be About Love

“good guy” - ★★✩✩✩ - first of all: HARDCORE rolling my eyes. baby you are fooling exactly Nobody w this hardcore bradford bad boy front. u are a giggly nerd and it’s just amusing how much you think you’re not …and also the lyrics just. don’t make sense? extinct creatures don’t work on instinct… they’re dead. wwwwhat is a “slide bleacher”? why would streetlamps try to teach you anything??

“you wish you knew” - ★★½✩✩ - this kinda bops like a rihanna song!! (that’s a good thing) idk i’m just not really vibin with this song right now, maybe it’ll grow on me. i mean… i do wish i knew him lmao

“sour diesel” - ★★★★✩ - A True Jam!!! honestly crushin on the girl he’s singing about. still don’t know what a sour diesel is though

“satisfaction” - ★★★✩✩ - kinda thought this was gonna be a rolling stone cover whoops. boy sounds so sad and lovely!!! although i’m skeptical of him not getting any satisfaction w/o an SO. if you really think that, you gotta have more fun when you masturbate dude

“scripted” - ★★★½✩ - this is so fuckin obscure but he sounds like art garfunkel circa 1980s!! and i love it!! also PIANO AGAIN PLEASE MORE OF THAT. it was neat to hear like… him talking over the phone during the song, that was fun. and zayn, honey, the men in black reference just cements my opinion that you’re a huge nerd.

“entertainer” - ★★★★✩ - I THOUGHT THIS WAS A BILLY JOEL COVER QUIT FUCKING WITH MY HEAD MALIK. amazing vocals like always, and he looks like a whole-ass MEAL in the music video. i’m just sad that someone played him like that, he deserves more than fake love

“all that” - ★★★½✩ - OPTIMUS PRIME?????? HOW CAN YOU EVEN PRETEND THAT YOU’RE EDGY AND DANGEROUS YOU ABSOLUTE DWEEB

“good years” - ★★★★½ - i’m so upset!! does he actually think like this?? honey you’re TWENTY-FIVE you don’t have to worry about that!!! and it also makes me sad bc… are you regretting your time in 1D? you said you’d never do that ;; this song makes my heart hurt in the best way his voice is 👌🏻

“fresh air” - ★★★✩✩ - uh… who is he talking to?? like holy shit dude.

“rainberry” - ★★★★½ - this 👏🏻 is 👏🏻 A 👏🏻 BOP 👏🏻 the falsetto, the word choices, the bumpin bass line, everything is dope as FUCK. only thing is… idk what he’s talking about?? i googled “rainberry” and the only thing that came up was the gatorade flavor??? my guy are you singing about someone drinking gatorade

“insomnia” - ★★★★✩ - this is some quality shit!!! not much else to say honestly, sorry

“no candle no light” - ★★★★★ - MY MOTHER AND MY SON!!!!! they sound SO GOOD TOGETHER and the song fuckin SLAPS. the literal Only Complaint i have is that i wanted nicki to fuckin spit some bars!! her four lines at the end Do Not Count. also, guys, i’d like an mv if you’re up for it

“fingers” - ★★★½✩ - i can definitely groove to this, and “my fingers ain’t workin’ but my heart is” is such a neat phrase to use in a song.

“too much” - ★★★✩✩ - is good! i don’t get the juxtaposition of “i just want love and lust” and “you just can’t love enough” but the falsetto is lovely and timbaland sounds like he’s havin a good time, and that’s all that matters

the album overall is ★★★½✩ !! i love my son and ZM2 is a fuckening bop

'cause you’re a lullaby playing through the tragedy

I’ve been seeing a few friends on Facebook post/repost this status on their walls, and have been thinking about posting my own too. Since this isn’t going on my Facebook wall, I added back stories on why they made it on my list. Here goes.

List 10 albums that made a lasting impression on you as a teenager, but only one band per artist. Don’t take too long and don’t think too much.

1. Line ‘Em Up EP - States

One summer, my friend Ginger shared this indie band’s EP to me and I couldn’t stop listening to their entire album. Up to this day I still know all the songs by heart. Literally brings me back to my teenage years! This blog post’s title is off one of their songs called “Asleep.” Listen here. 

2. Albertine - Brooke Fraser

I looked up to Brooke Fraser a lot, and still do. Her music aesthetic, total package, and how she writes songs are unimaginable. Not to mention, she’s a Christian too, which made my admiration for her even greater.

3. JoJo - JoJo

I think I was about 14 or 15 when JoJo’s self-titled album was released. JoJo was about the same age, so it was pretty cool to relate to an artist in that way. My best friends and I would always blast it up on the CD player every time we hung out. And daaaaang, who wasn’t impressed with her mad vocal skills? Major talent, I tell ya.

4. Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard

LOL. There’s a story behind this, which I’m too lazy to talk about. Or even if I wasn’t lazy, I’d probably still not confess, esp on public. On to the next!

5. Room For Squares - John Mayer

Because who wouldn’t be moved by John Mayer?

6. Birdy - Birdy

I legit had a phase of finding brokenness even more beautiful than anything. I guess there’s good to that. Bon Iver’s ‘Skinny Love’ depicted it during my teenage years, and I totally went hands down when Birdy made a cover of it. I also did a cover, of the cover! Haha. *mind blown* Listen to it here.

7. Good Girl Gone Bad - Rihanna

I don’t think there was any Rihanna song that didn’t go to the charts. This album had the most songs I played over and over.

8. Just Say Yes - The Narrative

I was really so much in to indie artists as a teenager!!! I think I said it thrice already in this post alone. I listened to a lot of mainstream things too, but then again that’s the thing: every one was listening to a particular song, and every radio/establishment/person you meet is singing it! I didn’t like that feeling so I was always on the look for EPs. This particular one had only 6 songs.

9. Rebirth - Jennifer Lopez

She my OG homegirl. I loved J.Lo since her ‘On The 6′ album. I remember owning it on cassette tape. Haha. Also, I adored her style and FACE forever. 

10. Kami nAPO Muna - Various Artists

Once upon a time, I was part of a band. Hashtag true story! I was one of the lead vocals in an almost all-boy band (yup I was the only girl). OPM was really happening back in high school. Everyone almost listened to local artists more than international ones, which was a v good thing. 

Filipinos are known worldwide to being good singers (duh, lol) and I do hope our support for OPM artists will be ‘til the end of tiiiiiiime. 

Aaaaand that concludes this post. Lemme know your thoughts? Do send me your list on my Ask Me Anything link. If you wanna just holla, feel free to do so too homie.
