About

I’m someone who is interested in music and plays the violin and piano, as well as composing a few songs. I also like to draw and I’m a Software Dev. I made this blog just for fun. Basically, I choose random songs on my favorite list from time to time and analyze why I like it and talk about its lyrics, tonality, etc, etc.

In a nutshell, I’m a big pophead that likes catchy songs or “performance” pieces — i.e., big flashy songs that present something unique or interesting. I can’t get into very layered rap like Kendrick Lamar telling those complex or dreary stories. I also can’t really get into a lot of Radiohead songs. My “love” vs “like” is often very inconsistent as well, since the bar for 90/100 is very vague and undecidable.

Here are the playlists that the songs are chosen from: (I separated my playlists for organization).
