i'm reworking this page after having archived my 2023~2024 log and consolidating my general media log. i'm planning on putting favorite artists, albums, songs, etc. here, and maybe archiving my spotify wrappeds over the years... i'd also like to rework the lyrics subpage. this page is going to be mostly 
under construction for the time being!
preferences
of course, there are always exceptions :)
stuff i typically like
- pop girlies
- upbeat music
- showtunes, musical theatre... yeah...
- pop punk bands
- "girlboss"-type anthems
- according to my sister, "songs that sound like you would dance to them at prom in the 1950s~1960s"
stuff i tend to avoid
- ballads
- just a guy/girl and their guitar/ukulele against the world
- too much instrumental focus
- screamo
- covers of vocaloid or anime songs
- i'm sure there's more... i'll update this when i remember
listening habits
- i listen to songs individually: i struggled with this music page because i don't really have "favorite" artists or albums... i like whatever songs i like... song order means nothing to me...
- okay, hold on: some of my past obsessions have been music artists! it's not that i don't have faves, but i can't really claim them with my whole chest. i don't keep up with any of my faves very well.
- i don't care too much about my speakers or earphone quality: if i can hear the song well enough it's fine! (audiophile's nightmare)
- i play songs on repeat: like many other people, i have fixation songs that i can't stop listening to.
- i listen to, like, one podcast: i would have a subpage for podcasts but i really only listen to the basement yard. i used to listen to mbmbam as well but just haven't kept up.

lyrics i love
or, well, general parts of songs that i find really fun or compelling. usually you will need to hear it in the context of the whole song, so you can click on any of the lyrics to listen to it on youtube!
they say "you gotta want it more" i beg and plead you, please succumb to my charms tonight like if cleopatra grew up in a small town i guess i'll never know the reason why you love me as you do flesh and blood amongst war machines ๊ทธ๋๋ ์ด๋ค๊ฐ? ๋ ๋๋ฌธ์ ์ ๋ค๊ธฐ ํ๋ค๊น? the way i loved you, i will not be embarrassed of that how can a person know everything at eighteen but nothing at twenty-two? and baby, i get mystified by how this city screams your name you took my breath away
so now i can't suck in my stomach around you anymore give me a call if you ever get desperate if we had a daughter, i'd watch but could not save her you've hit the big time now and the world is looking up to you your back beneath the sun, wishing i could write my name on it you knew it from the start, you've won, you've won, you've won;
so blame it on my heart and run don't think i'll find forgiveness as fast as mom did i love you, ain't that the worst thing you ever heard? Oh, ์์ฃผ์์ฃผ ์ค๋์ค๋ ๋ฉ๋ฆฌ๋ฉ๋ฆฌ ๋ ๋๊ฐ๊ธธ ๋ฐ๋ผ (๋ ๋๊ฐ์ง ๋ง) we share a heart of gold, we are a body of broken bones; when were we ever alone? you won't stay with me, i know
but you can have your way with me 'til you go ์ ๋ง์ถ๋ ๊ฑฐ์ ๋ํด ๋๋ ์ด๋? she walks like a woman and talks like a little girl maybe you've gone to buy me flowers but don't forget who's taking you home, and in whose arms you're gonna be you're always busy being make-believe though the winter may bring the whole world to its knees, the spring shall return with its fruit ๊ธธ์ ๊ฑธ์ ๋ baby
์ํํ๋๊น ๊ผญ ์์ชฝ์ผ๋ก ๊ฑธ์ด don't you know you're everything i have? in my head, i do everything right you're my twenties when i'm not being honest, i pretend that you were just some lover i'm doing better, i made it to september, i can finally breathe so ๋ ์ฌ๋ ํ์ง ๋ง์์
์ด์ฐจํผ ๋๋ ์์ฒ๋ง ๋จ์ ํ ๋ what if when he sees me, i like him and he knows it?
what if he opens up a door and i can't close it? i know our time will end no matter how much we pretend i'm half-crazy, all for the love of you ๅใฎ็ฎใซๆ ใๅใฏ็ถบ้บใ she's a lady, and i am just a boy i heard you like magic - i got a wand and a rabbit remember that place you called lovely? i still go there in my daydreams ๊ด์ฌ๋ ์๋ ๋ ์์๊ณ ์ฐธ ๋์๋ค and now i tell you openly you have my heart so don't hurt me i'm sure i'll sing of love, even on the last day of my life, because you told me none of it was in vain face each new sun with eyes clear and true
