Auto Tuning My Brains

Like I have said, I have a delusional mind that thinks non-stop. This is why I did a lot of zen meditations back in College. That didn't help. I catch tunes and repeat them in detail and it keeps playing while asleep. Have to play some instruments to make this gone!!!


Let me summarize the last 4 weeks:
Week 1 (24 July to 31 July 2011) - Ain't No Mountain High Enough,
Must have been that DHL TV advertisements. Shit, evil corporate mind control! Oh noes! I don't know which version they played, most probably it is coming from Sister Act 2. But I caught them in Billboard 1970 #1 chart under Diana Ross... and her tune played all day long until the second week, day 3 (Wednesday, 10th of August). I can't complain because it is beautiful and inspiring song. I cheered up when my mind decided on its own to play the mp3 record that seems to be stored in my brain.


Week 2 (1 August to 9 August 2011) - Gonna Fly Now,
I feel great whenever I hear this song. Bill Conti is everyone's daddy, this music makes Rocky much more cool, cooler than that overused "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor. My brains usually associate tunes with events, this particular tunes I caught from watching an online episode of "Alternate Reality Dragon Ball Z" back in 2008. Found out in Billboard 1977 #1 chart. Could be a cheesy training music, overly descriptive and too bland. But funky tunes makes this music a winner! "Yo Adrian, I did it!" I really need to cheer out in this boring week.


Week 3 (10 August to 15 August 2011) - America,
My friend introduced me to Razorlight when he is taking a bath. This tune is pretty catchy, it is a statement of surrender, regret, reality, salvaging attempt of the moment, all in all, it is a happy tune, yet a sad song. Why it keeps playing in my deep consciousness, must have resulted from the origin of the bands, the meaning of the song, and where my job came from. That is how complex my mind is.


Week 3 (15 August to 16 August 2011) - Nothing,
Whitney Houston will randomly appear no where in time because she is simply wonderful, and radios won't hesitate to air any of her songs. But this one summarize what really happened to me on those days.


Week 3 (17 August 2011) - Maju Tak Gentar,
Look at the date. I was playing world war 2 games and feel this need for some local marching song. Then I got this awesome tunes from Cornel Simanjuntak played by TV stations: Maju tak Gentar (lit. Forward Undaunted). A literal marching song that pretty much self-explanatory and very descriptive on its purpose. I'm out of wit.


Week 3 (18 August - 20 August 2011) - Es War Ein Edelweiss
This is a 1941 German Army marching song. Introduced by Forgotten Hope 2 for Battlefield 2 game modifications, it sets out all tunes that makes you feel the authentic world war 2 era more than the Hollywood or commercial writers tried hard to imply to its audiences. The German soldier choir version is the particular one. National Geographic Channel began to re-air "Apocalypse: The Second World War" after the successful 2009 runs. I could picture in my mind of Landsers marching through the industrial streets I passed every day these last 2 weeks while this tune plays. I couldn't wipe the imagination of them passing at big pavement aprons viewed from the big windows of the terminal 3 Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Jeez! People are marching everywhere! This one is really a personal turd that no one can relates to.


Week 3 (21 August 2011) - Gonna Fly Now,
It is back! Oh gosh! Must be Kung Fu Panda 2 overturned. My logic somehow relates Po in searching with this common training song. But I laughed on many occasions.


Week 4 (22 August 2011 - now) - Another Brick in the Wall part II,
I will never understand Pink Floyd, but this eerie song keeps playing in my brain. Trying to catch the source to Youtube doesn't help: it became worse. Shite! In one of the pictures, I saw the kids singing to me: "We don't need no thought control" - bull and carp, they are trying to fill my consciousness! "No dark sarcasm in the classroom" - I remember there are no teacher smart enough to make sarcastic remarks that last more than a day. Must have been someone else' experience. I shall shat bricks if I see it once again.


The most disturbing one: Another Brick in the Wall part II by Pink Floyd. They even gave nonchalant conclusion end to their own song: "All in all, we are just another brick in the wall."

It raises questions: what kind of brick? Am I that old fashioned clay bricks or that boring concrete bricks? Whose laid on top of me? Whose below me? Why I was here? Why no one put a paint over us? Why would they like to see us when we are just another brick in the wall? Are we that similar to each other? What kind of building are we making? Are we bomb proof? Yeah basically this can go on until I find another tune that is not Pink Floyd.


My friends say, to understand psychedelic songs, one needs to smoke dope or at least cannabis. Holy Caribbean Cow! I'd take Tequila.
