What's on repeat on my playlist?

Hello my lovely readers,
It has been a while since I did a post related to music haven't I?
So recently, ok maybe not so recently but ever since March, I've subscribed to Spotify and've been listening to all my music there. And I must say thought it is limited in some ways, cuz I can't find certain music there, it is still a good option to listen to the majority of music out there.

So, today i'm going to  introduce a few songs I've been hooked recently or for a while. Recently, I've been hooked on 2 major things. BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan) and J-hip hop. So if you look at the list there is quite a few j-hip hop. Now, I admit, I didn't know much about the japanese hip hop scene until I stumbled onto the playlist 'Tokyo Super Hits" on Spotify. My japanese hip hop knowledge is really small and the names I can throw at you that I knew from young are m-flo, terriyaki boyz and Beni K (if they count as hip hop). So you have no idea how happy and hyped I was to discover this new world.

I guess I'll do another post soon to explain more about the songs and why I got hooked to them and maybe just one whole post on BTS haha. But for now, I'll leave you guys with the 10 songs thats only replay on my playlist for months.

Cheers!

1. BTS- Whaelien 52



2. Rapmonster - Awakening 
 Rapmonster, leader of BTS is someone that is really growing on me. This song's lyrics is also really powerful as it shows his stance, his inner battle and what he's going/been through and I really admire him. If you listen to his other songs, you can see how much he voices his thoughts out. 


3. Taka (One Ok Rock) - Pillowtalk (Zayne Cover)
https://youtu.be/uLOkCXUuXYk
 Sadly I can't embed the video of this song but this is one song that was released a few days ago that reminded me how beautiful Taka's voice is. Furthermore, I think Taka's english improved again! Atta boy! 

4. Issues - Home Soon
Issues, no list can go without issues. Digging their new album alot and like Taka, Tyler's unique voice just draws me in. 



 5. Sia - Cheap Thrills
I often get sick of mainstream music because it keeps playing on the radio to the point where you started liking the song but hate it because all you hear is that song all day. However, I really like cheap thrills and thought im not a Sia fan, something about this song just lets me not grow sick of it. 

 

6. Tupac -Life Goes On
Recently, as well, I started digging my old mp3 (which took me a super long time to revive and retrieve its music) and immersed myself  with songs I used to listen and I came across this. Thought I needed to share because, this was one song from Tupac I really liked. 



 7. Justin Timberlake- Can't Stop the feeling

 8. Denpa Girl ft. Jinmenusagi, NIHA-C - Complex Remix
Denpa Girl, I really really liked their song OVERDOSE, but I couldn't find it on youtube, so if you dig this song, find them on Spotify and listen to OVERDOSE! ft. Niha-C, its the song that got me into them. I remember them from MTV when they were on this jap corner program of 'up and rising stars' and I remember thinking they were not bad. Well, all I can say is I am glad I came across them again. 


9. Ken the 390 - Heylas
HEYLAS!! honestly at first I thought they were saying haters, but hey we never know, when I listened to the song clearly, haters seemed more of an appropriate word but, really liked the beat the rap and this song really got me thinking like 'japanese rap is not that bad!'

Losing to the darkest thoughts in your mind

Just like the weather, everything comes and goes in life.
People, work, school.
What stays permanent I'll never know.

They set rules on me to what I should do and not do 

We get told to be strong
We get told to not be wrong
We get told to always be proper
We get told to be ourselves.

What is strong, what is wrong
what is proper, what's ' find yourself'
Why should we listen to these rules when you end up all by yourself  

When we fall we got pick ourselves up
When we cry we go to hide to patch ourselves up
Dont you see that we will always be alone
in this long road, long nights, lonely home, lonely life
we were born alone, we live alone and then we die alone.
Think people cared? not really
Think people love you? not really
Think you got everything in the world in that hands of yours?
Think again cuz you know deep down, there's nothing you really got

Look in the mirror
Reflection getting nearer
Is that me
Is that who I think it is
Is that me or is that just a reflection of self-pity

Holding up breathless
Breathing through dark waters
Can't keep my head up high
I'm losing consciousness
Every minute when I breathe pain comes from within
Every minute I rethink of ways I can fade away

- I think my mind at night works in the most dangerous ways. These days, when I look into the notes where I write thoughts down, I realize the things I've been writing are getting too dark for my own good. Hoping things get better as times passes I guess.

Coffee

That freshly made grind
That freshly made aroma
The smell that kept you feeling a little warmer
Can't go without it in the morning
Its the only thing that keeps you going

Cafe Latte, Americano, Espresso with a shot
Take your pick its a lot but its bound to get you hot
Where I'm from we have the same types but its
Kopi, Kopi-O, Kopi-O Gao
Stay local, stay real.
Why spend $20 bills when you get the
 same thing, same deal with just a $2 bill
But hey, I guess sometimes we cant resist that starbucks deal

Coffee.
That's what I'm addicted to 24/7
That's my medicine to every single one of my problems
To get the the kick, to my head, every morning when im dead
I need that strong black coffee to not end up in a bag

It started out with milk coffee
couldn't go a day with it
Name all 'em milk cuz I couldn't drink without it.

But before i knew it I realized my coffee turned to black
Like my dreams that was dissolving into pitch black
When I was younger, I thought milk coffee was my world
Now that I'm older, I couldn't imagine it in my world.

To many coffee's just a drink
but to me coffee's my everything

"A very random post, but here's a little dedication to what keeps me going every day. -Coffee. Started appreciating it even more because recently I've been getting very tired from staying up late at night and waking up early in the morning. I read somewhere that you'd be more alert and less tired if you quit coffee for a week, but I don't think I would even last 2 days. Hahaha."
