Kye Kye - Broke
| This band is amazing. I can’t even. I am blown away when I read the lyrics to their songs. You can read them here if you are also interested. There’s so much scripture in there. They are produced by the Future of Forestry guy, and their influences come from bands like Sigur Ros, Deathcab, Coldplay, M83. I can hear it all in there, yet they are still very different from those bands. and also much quieter sounding, kinda like My Epic or Young Oceans.
I’m going to post the lyrics here, because I think they’re awesome. ALL their songs have this much Biblical influence in them.
Broke
I broke in the silence
to repeat what I’ve done in the past won’t change me (Phil.3:3-11)
I broke when you told me
I could try all the time
but my ways won’t change me (Eph.2:8-9)(Gal.3:1-3)(Ro.3:20-22)
We tried this, but we failed
we know this but we’re too blind to see (1Cor.2:14) (2Tim.3:7)
that there is freedom within me (Col.1:27) (Ro.6:4) .
your life brought light for all to see (Jon.12:46) (Mrk.4:11)
When I was lost so I, so I thought
that I was searching all alone
like I was lost so I didn’t know (Gal.4:1)
what I was keeping all along (Col.1:27) (Ro.8:11)
I knew from the moment my mistakes all stood out
your light’s my only safety (Ro.10:3-13)
oh all the times that I didn’t look your way (Mat.13:22)
look what I was missing lord you fill in every space
that I replaced instead of you (Eze.36:26-27)
Revived us, we will sing (Eph.2:4-6)
restored us, you are the source to breath (Jon.4:14)
ignite us to a need to bury everything I never want to be (Ro.8:13-14)
Words, Not Words
I wish I could use words to express things well, but I can’t. I read so many blogs, and everybody seems to be able to write just fine. When I look at things I write, it’s like reading a middle schooler’s writing with more mature thoughts. Eck. On top of that, my brain doesn’t seem to be fully capable of processing things using words more often than not. WORDS. >:( It’s rather dumb, considering that we use language in our internal thoughts. I’m not sure where I’m going with this. Sometimes, I would like to be able to better express myself, even in my own head?? Fin.

The Autumn Film - Ships on the Ocean Floor
| I knew about Page CXVI for a few years now, but I didn’t know that PAGE CXVI was developed in parallel to The Autumn Film by the same band members, for two different styles of music. Well, actually, they sound rather similar. Page CXVI is dedicated to making hymns accessible again. What I really enjoy about The Autumn Film is that while it is soft and soothing, there is still a fullness to the sound. I wish they were better known :<
Starkeeper - Elle
| I believe this is the first band that’s started following me that I’ve actually liked. Sad that they only have 2 songs out, both released over a year ago. Their two songs are pretty chill and peaceful. They’re from Belgium! Check it out
Thankful
One. If you didn’t know, I was hit by/I ran into a car while biking last week. Now that sounds terrible, but I made it out with only some nasty bruises and some scratches on my bike. That’s it. Just bruises. I am so thankful that nothing worse happened. And given the circumstances (I was probably going faster than the car when we ran into each other), I could have easily fallen off my bike and been hurt, I could have landed on top of or under the car, my bike could have been smashed, etc. yadablahblah. However, I was still sitting on my bike with my weight on the car after the collision! It’s just amazing that I don’t even have a scratch on me. Thankful that I’m alive, not hospitalized, and uninjured. Biking can be scary.. but I still love it. Stay safe, my fellow cyclists!
Two. I have a job secured for post-graduation. It’s a really weird feeling not having to look for a job after I’ve gotten so used to it. I will be moving to Philadelphia to work for Eaton Corporation as a Power Systems Engineer. I am actually going to be an engineer, working in the field that I actually studied. I don’t think I ever imagined myself actually being an engineer until this past year. It’s a bit crazy to look back two years, when I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do, and when I was thinking of changing my major. Being able to work for Eaton is a huge blessing, along with all the ups and downs associated with my education. I could go on and on about that; I’ll just say that I am thankful to the rich people who give money to scholarship funds that put people like me through college. And just by being at UT, through the people around me, God has taught me so much about Himself, His love, His awesomeness, etc. and how that can be (and now is) central to my life. So above all the other stuff, I am thankful that God saved my life and that I get to live everyday for Him.

The Postal Service - A Tattered Line of String
| Postal Service releases their first song in years!!!!! You can now preorder the album that shall be released on 4/9. They’re also going on tour for the first time in 10 years o: o: o:
While this song is not as amazing as anticipated, it is still good. I guess it’s pretty hard to beat Such Great Heights at this point
Driving through this neighborhood was sooooooo lolsies. What troll got to name the streets?! Imagine trying to give directions to your house…

5 Seconds of Every #1 Billboard Hot 100 Hit From 1993-2011
Eeeeeeeee!!!! Warning: this is a really long mix!!!! Putting this here so I can reminisce again later. I declare that pop music quality started declining around 2002, sigh.
