I can live without boob tube for days, Facebook for a year and men for a lifetime. But I cannot for the life of me survive without music every single day. I have to hear something in my background coz it is deafening to my ears without it. Even at work, I press my Playlists randomly so I can fully function well. I pay monthly subscription to Apple iTunes coz seriously, I am serious with music.:)
Of late, there is this one young lady that has captured our ears and attention. Her name is Olivia Rodrigo. She has such a soulful voice for her age, and the lyrics of each song flies directly to the heart. I wonder- has her fragile heart been cut in to pieces already? Some PH local celebs even commented on social media that if Olivia was already belting out during their single life phase, she would definitely be THE Princess of Heartbreak Lasses. Agree!!!
TRAITOR
You betrayed me
And I know that you'll never feel sorry
For the way I hurt....
Loved you at your worst
But that didn't matter.
God I wish that you had thought this through
Before I went and fell in love with you.
DRIVER'S LICENSE
Yeah, today I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?
And I know we weren't perfect, but I've
never felt this way for no one...
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face...
HOPE UR OK
Well, I hope you know how
proud I am you were created.
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
God, I hope that you're happier today
'Cause I love you.
ENOUGH FOR YOU
And you left me there crying,
wondering what I did wrong.
And you always say I'm never satisfied,
but I don't think that's true.
'Cause all I ever wanted was to be enough for you.
DEJA VU
So when you gonna tell her?
That we did that too
She thinks it's special
But it's all reused
That was our place, I found it first..
Do you get deja vu when she's with you???
HAPPIER (I think this is my most fave amongst her tracks)
And I thought my heart was detached
From all the sunlight of our past..
Oh, I hope you're happy
But not like how you were with me
I'm selfish I know
I can't let you go
So find someone great, but don't find no one better
I hope you're happy, but don't be happier.
These are just some of Olivia's songs included in her album SOUR released this year. Before I went on work leave, the staff and I were having a "review" of her songs so this album kinda served as our background music. My friend G and I were on an Olivia fever, we both wanted to see her perform live. Unfortunately no scheduled concerts for this year. Get ready for us O on 2022, we will be ready to belt it out with all your lyrics and melody, with all our hearts, even if they are not broken!!LOL!!!
I also wish that soon, when I come back full swing at work, our other friend, Jil is closely acquainted to our baby sister Olivia already. Lol!!
Thank you for your music, Olivia. You have such a wonderful gift. Thank you for sharing it with us. Hope to see you soon.:)
Music. Olivia. Sour.
