Just like my Theandric Thursdays, I doubt this is going to
be weekly, but still. Life isn’t too optimistic right now, so the least I can
do is stay positive about a weekly feature I thought I would do. So, the song I
wanted to feature for the first week is Coldplay’s “Paradise”
that I’ve been stuck on since, umm..... the whole last week. Seriously, it
seems that’s the only song I’ve been playing on repeat. This song has broken
all records of play-repeat-play-repeat ever done in history. My history at
least. It’s a very simple song, about dreams and wishes and innocence and how
the reality and stupid world attack such wishes. I haven’t still understood the
whole of it, but I love it nevertheless.
Here’s the wonderfully done video for you! I mean, just look
at it. Adorable! ^_^
Favorite lyrics from the song:
Away she'd fly.
Liked it? My last post was also inspired by this song!

Random stuff ahead. Read at your own risk!
(Random) Realization # 1: Sometimes Most of the
times, being a girl is torture.
(Not-so-random) Realization # 2: Being a girl in India, in
this patriarchal society where you’re subjected to injustice based on stupid
society’s unbelievably moronic and sadist thinking is an even bigger torture.
Just like Jack Reacher says in A Wanted Man by Lee
Child, when a police agent tells him he won’t be in trouble if he speaks the
truth, “You still believe stuff like that?”
(Random) Realization # 3: I don’t think checking my language
would do any good. My actions can be stopped, but not my words. I’ll say what I
mean. No hard feelings toward anyone in particular, only the “society”. Kids in
school should have a subject called “Whatever-we’re-teaching-is-nonsense-dude-you’re-going-get-a-shock-in-reality”.
Just so they can be prepared. ;)
Okay, so I love Paradise, but I never saw the video until today. It's adorable, and I totally get why the song's been stuck in your head for what feels like ages! (And yay, poetry!!)
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hear more about your realizations, especially the first two. Anything you'd like to share?
Also, props to Rachit for introducing you to the song! Heehee!
Hiya! :D I am so loving hearing about Paradise, how some like it, how some are liking it for the first time. Adorable ;)
DeleteI'll tell you about those in detail! :)
