Deep Conversations

Here are the answers for the music meme. Thanks to likeadeuce adastreia scintilla10 and svgurl for the questions!

4. Is there a song you love but don't like its music video?

There's nothing inherently wrong with the Waffle House music video, but it disappointed me. I love the song, and when I first heard it I thought it had such a great message about being humble/remembering where you came from. But the music video is this huge musical production that feels a bit sterile and very distant from the lyrics.

7. Would you wear a t-shirt of a band you're not into?

No, because I wouldn't want to answer awkward questions about the shirt :P

8. Is there an artist or song that you like, despite being of a genre you don't usually like?

I like Andy Black's solo work, but I don't really listen to emo or Black Veil Brides (maybe I should?).



10. Favorite solo artist?

Halsey or Demi Lovato.

The rest of the questions:

14. A song or album from the 50s or earlier:

Watch on YouTube

21. A song or album from this year or last year:

Music for People Who Believe in Love by Joe Jonas ♥ There's only one song I'm not crazy about on the entire album.

22. What’s your favorite song or album from the year you where born?

Watch on YouTube

28. Have you ever made/got a mixtape as gift to/from a friend?

Of course! This was so common, I remember burning CDs for my friends for their birthdays or special events in high school. I think the last time I got a burned CD was from a boyfriend in college, but it wasn't a mixtape - just a copy of a CD.

35. A song you like in a language you don’t speak:

Watch on YouTube

No idea what's being said, but it's so lovely!

38. Which was the first concert you went to?

I'm not entirely sure but probably a band that was playing for free at the Fair. Maybe Tower of Power?

40. Which was the best concert you’ve ever been to?

Fall Out Boy was super fun - that also had a lot to do with the crowd but they sounded so good. Brooks and Dunn had such an impressive stage production - even from the cheap seats it looked fantastic and every song had a cohesive theme, plus I loved their banter. And then I have to mention the very first Jonas Brothers show I ever went to, when they weren't famous and Joe jumped into the small crowd and serenaded everyone with "Mandy" and it was totally incredible.

42. Your favorite(s) “no skips” album(s):

Badlands by Halsey (2019). Youngblood by 5 Seconds of Summer (2018).

49. Is there a cover you like more than the original version?

Of course the original (1975) is great, but The Chicks cover of Landslide is SO epic imo (2002).

56. A song/album/artist you wish you could forget so you could have the experience of hearing it for the first time again:

A Little Bit Longer by Jonas Brothers in 2008. This was the album that launched their career into superstar territory and I really remember every single song on that album. It came at just the right time in my life and it made me feel so understood. That album was so important to me, it's hard to capture how amazing it felt to listen to it for the first time but I'd gladly feel all that again :)

For halfamoon I was able to make a few posts:

For the theme both sides of the law, I made a post about JoAnne Galloway from A Few Good Men.

For the Education theme, I made some Liz Ortecho icons.

For the music theme, I made a playlist about Maria DeLuca and The Wild Pony.

For the dealing with adversity theme, I made a rec list of Natasha Romanoff Vids.

Finally was able to watch Top Gun: Maverick because I got my free month of paramount+. WOW I think it deserved the hype. It's so fun and so compelling (even though Mav being in the USN for 30 years and only making Captain is very weird). I can overlook that for all the COOL SHIT they do in the film. Plus, there are SO many good ships. I'll have to rewatch asap.

Also watched Devotion with Jonathan Majors and Glen Powell, and Joe Jonas! The two leads have fabulous chemistry and I loved all of the costumes and scenery. It felt a little over the top at times, and the ending was way too sad :/ But I thought Joe did well. He fit into that stereotypical class clown role but he also had some convincing concerned/sympathetic faces at the end of the film. Plus he looked good in Navy whites.
