June is coming to an end tomorrow! As expected, despite of the long holiday, I know June will fly by quickly. And as always, the year will move forward even faster as we hit July. It's quite terrifying really to know how fast time is flying. Well nothing can stop it from moving forward.
Anyway I've been setting up the laptop more and more in this week. Downloaded the things I need, like Google Drive and Spotify etc. Still need to set up my Dropbox though. And a few other programs. Still getting used to the new laptop, it just feels different heh. Need more time I guess. I just love how fast this laptop is as compared to my previous hahaha. Like I don't have to wait 5 minutes for the laptop to start. And opening documents is so much quicker. Saves lots of time for me hah.
Alright time for the great music of June!
Great Music of June:
- Wildness by Snow Patrol
- High As Hope by Florence and The Machine
- No Place by Rufus Du Sol
Song of the month: Empress by Snow Patrol
Alright lets talk about Rufus new song first, No Place! Saw that Rufus posted about the new song on their Facebook page and I was so excited! I know they've been hinting about new music from their Instagram heh, when they released the official audio for No Place I was really stoked. I think it's such an awesome song. And the song totally comes cohesively with the art, of shadowy figures on a desert. I think the song depicts that feeling of being alone in a big space. They're releasing a new album and I think it's gonna be called Solace (since it's their tour name). Pretty excited to hear more from Rufus!
Snow Patrol released their new album on the same day as Chvrches, but I just received my vinyl like last week haha. I think it's an incredible comeback album from them, and easily my top 5 albums of the year so far. I think it's a pretty uplifting album with lots of ideas and emotions weaved into a beautiful tapestry. I can't really explain the album word by word but the whole feel of the album just fits beautifully I guess. Especially songs like Empress and Life on Earth.
I read an article that the singer of the band (Gary) was struggling with some mental health issues during their hiatus. But to see him spring back into action in this new album is quite inspiring. I think a lot of his songs in the album talk about this issue too. When I first hear Empress back in May when they released it, I was feeling upset about some stuff. And then I listened to the lyrics which goes like "You don't think it will, but it will, it will". Suddenly I feel hopeful about things haha.
I think that's the power of music. Out of the blue, a song can uplift you and just make you feel better again. I think I have cried in the car a few times listening to Empress heh.
One of my most anticipated (and surprising) release of the year is Florence and The Machine's new album High As Hope! When she released A Sky Full of Song I was over the moon. Knowing that more new music is on the way haha. I have pre-ordered the album and it's on the way too. But I gave it a listen on Spotify and oh my goodness, it is such an incredible album I'd say. There are so much class and energy all in one album. It's super "clean" and just well executed I guess? I was hoping that she'd go back to the Ceremonials era and I think she kinda did.
It's a marriage between Ceremonials and HBHBHB.
There's something about Florence's voice and music that feels so empowering to me. The lyrics, the movement and the whole energy of her music is just so amazing. I really hope that she will bring her High As Hope tour to Indonesia and I will see her live. Definitely a bucket list item for me.
Alright that's all for now. Tomorrow is the last day of June and July is upon us. I'll see you soon!
