Old School

Close Your Eyes, Give Me Your Hand, Darling

"Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling." The Bangles - Eternal Flame (1989)

Everyone had their own favorite songs. But most of them would answer the hit songs these days, or some of them would say their idol's songs. But I'm not. My favorite song is far from the band I loved, which is The Beatles, and also very far from the hits these days. Eternal Flame, by The Bangles. Maybe most of you didn't know when this song came, which is not far from the late 80s. And Cheap Trick's song, The Flame which released also on the late 80s.

I do love music. Like most of the human being said, music is my life. But some of them just didn't realize how amazing the old music are. They're just stuck listening to one kind of song and they don't want to try and give a listen to the oldies. I am a sixteen years old girl, yet I'm in love with old school. In my opinion, people on the 19th century are geniuses, also in the part of music. They made their own sound of a guitar, like the one in Queen. They could change the world for only ten years, like The Beatles. They could make a girl scream as hard as she can by giving her an autograph. Well, that probably every kind of fans until now, because their idols are such a heartthrob. Even though 'now' music are great, I still prefer the oldies. They could also play tons of instrument.

Speaking of it, guitar is my favorite instrument, and the only one I could play. I could play piano if it's only pushing on the notes, but everyone can do that. Even the cat from YouTube can. 

I probably am the only girl in my high school who loves oldies. That's why I stay alone all the time. They just thought I'm such an old freak. I got bullied, and I'm excited to move to a new school. My parents actually care enough for me that they realize what was going on. They're somewhat good at finding out what's my secret, they like to take part of other people's business. Maybe it is because I'm the only girl child they own, since I have two annoying older brother. But I'm quite lucky to have them, without their I-want-to-know-what-your-secret life, I would just stay at the same school, bullied forever. But now what I have to do is just hide my obsession over some old stuff, on my new school.

Lyrics are my world. I could write a book full of lyrics in a week. And the tones, of course. I love them too well, I have like tons of book filled with my songs. But still, nobody has found out about the books, because I keep it on my most sacred place that no one could open. Only me could. 

But now I just have to keep my joy away from bitches who don't like them, especially the dickhead. I'll be ready to tell it someday when everybody's ready to listen.
