Song of the Day #39

Halsey - Gasoline

Between the beautiful plucked string intro, the general slow flow of the tune and the incredibly powerful lyrics this song takes me me to a place where every hair on my body stands up. Halsey has to be one of my favourite vocalists this decade, hands down.

Lyrics


Are you insane like me?
Been in pain like me?
Bought a hundred dollar bottle of champagne like me?
Just to pour that motherfucker down the drain like me?
Would you use your water bill to dry the stain like me?
Are you high enough without the Mary Jane like me?
Do you tear yourself apart to entertain like me?
Do the people whisper 'bout you on the train like me?
Saying that you shouldn't waste your pretty face like me?
And all the people say
You can't wake up, this is not a dream
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
I think there's a flaw in my code
These voices won't leave me alone
Well my heart is gold and my hands are cold
Are you deranged like me?
Are you strange like me?
Lighting matches just to swallow up the flame like me?
Do you call yourself a fucking hurricane like me?
Pointing fingers 'cause you'll never take the blame like me?
And all the people say
You can't wake up, this is not a dream
You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen
Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline
I think there's a flaw in my code
These voices won't leave me alone
Well my heart is gold and my hands are cold

Hello again, friend. I hope you are doing well. How is your zombie foot?

I've noticed your Song of the Day posts here and there but it didn't register with me until this evening. I've not watched this Halsey video but I know her name and it dawned on me that you might be watching videos and listening to music often.

Klye, this stuff is bad for you.

I wonder if you'd consider a music fast, for starters. I know of someone who could help you see how bad this media that is pushed on us really is. His work may be shocking at first but I promise you what he has to say is very important. He's here on Steemit as @fakenewsreport and his name is Jeff C. I would suggest this video since we are talking about music.

Have you ever done a fast? A cleanse? It's amazing the clarity of mind.

I'm doing alright I guess. Can't really complain. The zombie foot seems to be alive and kicking with the zombie symptoms gone, thank fuck. I try to listen to as much music as I can throughout the day, given preferably music of my own choice with a subwoofer somewhere in the mix. Most of what I listen to isn't music with vocals, primarily dubstep.

I'm aware the mainstream media isn't exactly designed to bring an enriching experience to the psyche and while some would say this song above is well known, that strikes me as impressed. I had no idea Halsey was widely known.

As for the music fast.. you may be as insane as I am to ask of such things, Music is life, one of the only escapes that can bring me to a somewhat resting state which is nice. I've done a "conventional" fast as in not eating for x amount of days but certainly found it to be more of a stress causer than a cleansing effect.

Will check out the dudes newsfeed and see what he's posting. Take er easy.

Cheers

I'm very glad to hear about your foot.

I've heard of dubstep but I couldn't really recall what it was like so I searched youtube and got this. Is this what you listen to?
Best Dubstep Mix 2018 [Brutal Dubstep Drops]
I made it 25 seconds in and I couldn't look at the screen! I am super sensitive though. It's a blessing and a curse.

Do you know Wim Hof? The Iceman? You should give him a try if you want a resting state.
If you have it to spare, humor me for ten minutes.
Be sitting comfortably before you push play and be ready to follow along and breathe.

Ah :)) ok..ok....

Never heard of her. This shows my popular music ignorance towards everything produced in the last decade or so.

Thanks!

Tis why I share song of the day. The wonderful thing about music is that everyone has their own preference and can share the song experience with others that may not have heard it otherwise.

Cheers

I like it. :D

Aye, same here. :D
