RED

There are a lot of unique things happened in this world. People with unique talent, has unique ability. People who can see the sounds for example, interesting isn't it? Researcher said that it is one form of Synesthesia called Chromesthesia, which allowed the people to hear sounds automatically and involuntarily evoke an experience of color. It is clinically proved and exist in the real world, even though if you are one of TV Series Heroes fans, you can see the people with this kind of ability in Volume 5: Redemption.

However, i am not going to talk about people with unique ability this time. I am going to reach to something closer. People like us, ordinary people. A common person who likes music so badly, even if we can just use one of our sense, we just hear it.

Music do have its own color actually. Even though we cannot see it. 

We cannot see it, doesn't mean that we cannot know it. Want to have some proof? Okay then let's have a little quiz here. If you are also a music lover, you'll be able to answer it.  
Call the color's name out of these songs below:

a. "If someone said three years from now. You'd be long gone. I'd stand up and punch them out. Cause they're all wrong. I know better. Cause you said forever. And ever, who knew?"

b. "Summer has come and passed. The innocent can never last. Wake me up when September ends"

c. "Your skin, oh yeah, your skin and bones. Turn into something beautiful. Do you know? You know I love you so. You know I love you so."

d. "One for the money and the free rides. It's two for the lie that you denied, all rise, all rise. Three for the calls that you've, been making. It's four all the times you've been faking, all rise, all rise."

e. "And I told about equality and it's true. Either you're wrong or you're right. But, if you're thinkin' about my baby, it don't matter if you're.."

So, a different starter for this time. You cannot say that quiz is a more-ordinary-way to start blog post, rather than using quote or story all over again.

Anyway, if music really has color, my favorite would be this one:



To be honest, i didn't really like Taylor Swift as my favorite singer. I've never really liked her previous songs. And it stayed that way.

Until her new album: RED was released

It's contained many ordinary songs, according to a person who likes song by its beat and music (like me). But the thing that makes me fall in love with RED is the truth behind it. It is how every single song in RED express the smallest, simplest thing that frequently happen in ordinary life, written in a beautiful words and emotions. I do have my own favorite RED playlist: [click in the song title to preview it]

#3: The Last Time (Ft. Garry Lightbody)

Found myself at your door
Just like all those times before
I'm not sure how I got there
All roads they lead me here
I imagine you are home
In your room, all alone
And you open your eyes into mine
And everything feels better

And right before your eyes
I'm breaking
No past, no reasons why
Just you and me

This is the last time I'm asking you this,
Put my name at the top of your list,
This is the last time I'm asking you why,
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye.

You find yourself at my door,
Just like all those times before,
You wear your best apology,
But I was there to watch you leave,
And all the times I let you in,
Just for you to go again,
Disappear when you come back,
Everything is better.

When right before your eyes,
I'm aching, run fast
Nowhere to hide
Just you and me

This is the last time I'm asking you this
Put my name at the top of your list
This is the last time I'm asking you why
You break my heart in the blink of an eye, eye, eye.
This is the last time you tell me I've got it wrong
This is the last time I say it's been you all along
This is the last time I let you in my door
This is the last time, I won't hurt you anymore


#2: 22

It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our ex's, uh uh, uh uh.
It feels like a perfect night for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers, uh uh, uh uh.
 
Yeah,
We're happy, free , confused, and lonely at the same time
It's miserable and magical. Oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the deadlines
It's time. Oh oh!
 
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh. 22, ooh-ooh

It seems like one of those nights,
This place is too crowded.
Too many cool kids, uh uh, uh uh
It seems like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene and end up dreaming
Instead of sleeping.

Yeah,
We're happy, free , confused, and lonely in the best way
It's miserable and magical. Oh, yeah
Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks
It's time. Uh oh! (hey!)
 
I don't know about you
But I'm feeling 22
Everything will be alright
If you keep me next to you
You don't know about me
But I'll bet you want to
Everything will be alright (alright)
If we just keep dancing like we're
22, ooh-ooh (oh, oh, oh). 22, ooh-ooh
I don't know about you
22, ooh-ooh. 22, ooh-ooh

It feels like one of those nights,
We ditch the whole scene.
It feels like one of those nights,
We won't be sleeping.
It feels like one of those nights,
You look like bad news.
I gotta have you,
I gotta have you.

#1: Everything Has Changed (Ed Sheeran)

All I knew this morning when I woke
Is I know something now,
know something now
I didn't before
And all I've seen since 18 hours ago
is green eyes and freckles and your smile

in the back of my mind making me feel right
 
I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you
know you know you

Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed

And all my walls stood tall,
painted blue
But I'll take them down,
take them down
and open up the door for you
And all I feel in my stomach
is butterflies the beautiful kind
Making up for lost time,
taking flight, making me feel right


I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you
know you know you

Cause all I know is we said hello
And your eyes look like coming home
All I know is a simple name,
everything has changed
All I know is you held the door
You'll be mine and I'll be yours
All I know since yesterday
is everything has changed

Come back and tell me why
I'm feeling like I've missed you all this time
And meet me there tonight
And let me know that it's not all in my mind

I just want to know you better know
you better know you better now
I just want to know you
know you know you

Cause all I know is we said hello
So dust off your highest hopes
All I know is pouring rain
And everything has changed
All I know is a newfound grace
All my days,
I'll know your face

All I know since yesterday is everything has changed
And she is going to have a concert in Indonesia soon!
These have to be a friendly reminder for the 4th of June
