SKY BLUE REVERIES

But I can't help but drive away from all the mess you made
You sent this hurricane now it won't go away
And I promised I'd be there but you don't make it easy

Darling please believe me
Cause loving you, loving you is too hard
All I do, all I do's not enough
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you
Loving you, loving you leaves me hurt
All I do, all I do is get burnt
Loving you, loving you
I cannot be loving you, loving you

I am tired of this place, I hope people change
I need time to replace what I gave away
And my hopes, they are high, I must keep them small
Though I try to resist I still want it all

I see swimming pools and living rooms and aeroplanes
I see a little house on the hill and children's names
I see quiet nights poured over ice and Tanqueray
But everything is shattering and it's my mistake

Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall
Only fools fall for you, only fools
Only fools do what I do, only fools fall

I love this city. Despite its traffic jams and the huge amount of people, this is still the place I can always called home. Sure it's nice to live in a big metropolitan city, but it still has its downsides. The big city is often associated as a melting pot for people who dream of a better future. In big cities, it is so easy to get lost. And I mean it as both literally and figuratively. Let's not talk about the definitive meaning of lit since I'm pretty sure that everyone know what it means. By figuratively I mean that usually people in the city are so driven to chase their dreams and working out their own personal struggles that they tend to forget to be socially aware of the things that happen around them. It's undeniably easy to ended up just following other people's orders around and forget that you too have your own voice and dreams.

Recently I saw on my instagram that the beautiful and talented Maudy Ayunda just released a single called "Jakarta Ramai". This song is so soothing for your ears and soul. The song is basically a love letter to Jakarta. And the lyrics is spot on, because it truly portrays the feelings and thoughts of the people living or working in Jakarta. Please take a listen to this song. Oh, and go watch the music video so you can see the urban life in this busy city.

Reindeer..Rudolph...Santa...December...get it?




December is often associated with rain. And what goes along with hearing the raindrops falling outside your bed room window? You know it, music. Whether it's to accompany you while you sleep or to help you feel more relaxed, music in some kind of magical way helps you transfer to a different state of mind.

I find that every season and even every month has its own signature music style. Maybe some months have similarities in terms of music style, but I disagree for December.  In this time of the year, people in general are in their festive mood. People are excited to spending the holidays with their loved ones, giving and getting presents, going on a vacation after a long year of hard work, and spoiling yourself before the new year begins.




To be frank this playlist lacks the holiday spirit, it doesn't feel joyous at all. This is not your typical Christmas playlist, if you want those I recommend you to explore the wonderful world of Youtube. These are few songs I currently play on repeat. Perhaps the only "happy" song in this playlist is Last Chrsitmas by Wham!, but looking at the lyrics....well it's up to you to judge.
Whether it's appropriate for the holiday season or not, for me this playlist is suitable for the dark and rainy December days I encounter in Jakarta. These songs in a way or another makes me feel...festive.
