Wake Up

Tsingtaos, prawn paste chicken, sotong you tiao, singing Westlife (Boyzone, PJ and Duncan, Backstreet Boys). That reeaaaally made my night.

I finally got to know the title of the song i've been clicking my fingers, singing the intro and grooving to all these years. I turn up the volume everytime i hear it - "True" by Spandau Ballet. Finally!

Am listening to "Wake Up" by Arcade Fire now. It's so different from hearing it at Home where everyone goes hysterical, screams "Arrcaaddeee Fiiirreeee" and starts swaying to the music, eyes closed and in total awe. I am almost tempted to use the word "majestic" to describe the song.

In the silent of the night, the song shreds my heart into pieces.

Something filled up
my heart with nothing,
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I'm older,
my heart's colder,
and I can see that it's a lie.

I guess we'll just have to adjust.

With my lighning bolts a-glowing
I can see where I am going to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

Fucking brilliant song with a fucking brilliant ending. I still can't decide if i like the happy twist.
