I discovered Will Post on Spotify through his horribly beautiful song Kindest Thing. It’s horrible because the song killed me with a thousand knives all over again. It reminded me of why it was the best for me to cut all communication because I can imagine J in this song telling me the stuff Will Post is singing about. I cut all communication because I don’t want pity and I don’t want to feel his disdain.
The song is painful but the beat and the melody are happy, which is annoying because it makes me want to listen to this over and over even if I shouldn’t. Will Post’s voice is like velvet and it’s confusing because his singing makes me want to feel comforted but the lyrics just makes me want to say WTF!
I found Will Post’s live recording of “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic” on Youtube, which is a song I always thought better played on piano compared to the upbeat chorus in the original by The Police. This matches his tone better. I hope he covers more songs like this.
I have been spending majority of the afternoon today listening to music because I’m testing my new Bluetooth speaker from Edifier, which sounds very good for the price of PHP 2,300+ (on sale on Lazada 6.6). The bass doesn’t break even if the volume is turned up since it has a subwoofer. It’s value for money as I can finally hear the rich tones of the bass in the piano or guitar. I find that this is best for acoustic music. It also doesn’t look cheap as it is made of wood.
Even though it’s small, it can fill up the whole room. It has a digital clock and alarm and I don’t know why it does but oh well, let’s just say it’s a bonus feature that I didn’t ask for. It looks good on my revamped workstation. I’ve had so many speakers over the years because I am a music lover and listening on earphones just doesn’t cut it. I accidentally left my JBL Charge in Baguio in 2018 and I still mourn the loss. If money is no object, I would invest in Bang and Olufsen (they’re just so beautiful) or Marshall (their amps!) and annoy my neighbors. If I already have my own place, I would soundproof my room so I can blast music to my heart’s content.
