A Cover by Before You Exit and My Boy Band Craze

Ever heard of Before You Exit?

Well, Before You Exit is an American group that I somehow ended up falling for last winter. If you have watched this, you probably noticed this is a cover of "All of Me" by John Legend. Isn't it a good cover? A reason why I like them is because they do acoustic so well, and I bet they'd be great live. 

My favorite song of theirs is "Soldier," the acoustic version. It is a wonderful love song, and I find the music video really meaningful. The video is here~ Please check it out and click the like if you want ^^ Gosh, I feel like a teenage girl. 

Before You Exit presents "Soldier"

Man, them bands just get me every single time. To be honest, I used to be a Directioner. Yes. A Directioner, as in One Direction fan, as in a crazy Narry shipper who wore stripes and obsessed over Harry's curls. However, that is not the case anymore, and I devote quite a lot of my practically non-existent free time to fangirling over K-Pop and books and movies. 

In my opinion, the guys in this group aren't particularly hot, but their music is really good and very catchy. And they play instruments. What girl doesn't like a guy who can sing and play an instrument and is not bad looking? Okay, if you're one, don't answer that. But the majority do. 

Why did I make this post... I don't even know. Well, I'm a huge fan of John Legend, I love Before You Exit, and this cover is just amazing. I also recommend the one Kurt Hugo Schneider made, which features Zendaya and Max Schneider, so check that cover out, too. 

If you really like boy bands, I encourage you to check out (if you haven't already) Five Seconds of Summer. They're a British punk rock group with really catchy songs, and their music is just amazing. My personal favorites of their songs include "Heartache on the Big Screen," "Disconnected," and "Heartbreak Girl." However, "She Looks So Perfect" is really good, too. They're also in ties with One Direction, but they play their own instruments and are currently on tour (I think) in the States~ They're quite fresh, too, so if you're a newbie to punk rock, this isn't too deep or scary. Quite the opposite, actually. Oh my god, how do I have time to find more bands to obsess over everyday ;-;

The Fault in Our Stars

This is possibly the worst thing that has ever happened to me, but yet this is possibly the best thing at the same time. I mean, this is The Fault in Our Stars that we're talking about.

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green

Okay, I'll stop talking gibberish and get to the professionalism behind my reviewing. What am I talking about, this is a teenage girl talking to you, I don't sense any professionalism. Anyways, the book is just amazing. I remember when I first saw this in the bookstore, on the "Bestsellers List" in Barnes & Noble. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I purchased it anyway and spent the whole night reading it. Instant. Love.  

If you've read the posts before this, you would know that I am a huge TFIOS and John Green fan. Okay, maybe just the last post, but I feel like this book requires more than just ONE blog post like seriously. The story is about this guy and this girl who both have cancer and they fall in love. Yes, the whole typical "cliche" storyline with a cancer twist. It is, and I quote, "a cancer book that is not about cancer." Well, to be honest, this book is about cancer. But it's about the love cancer has brought upon two people whose lives are in the shadow of cancer. I've probably used the word "cancer" like twenty times already, but there is no other word to describe it more specifically. Should I say osteosarcoma and thyroid cancer? There is still the word "cancer" in that description. Using the word "cancer" I am able to reach those who have no idea what osteosarcoma or thyroid cancer is. Therefore, I shall continue to use this word. 

The Characters are bloody complicated. But in a way, it is good bloody complicated. The two main characters that this story revolves around have the names of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. You've probably heard these names mentioned at least a billion times on the Internet if not in real life. If you've read the book, you probably would smile or insta-fangirl as I put it. 

Hazel Grace is your ordinary cancer survivor. Not really. Her disease, thyroid with "an impressive satellite colony in my lungs" has been named terminal by her doctors. Terminal means incurable. For now, she just has to continue receiving meds and breathing using her oxygen tanks and BiPap. She's been drawn out of school since she was thirteen. Her best friends are her parents and a author who doesn't know she exists. 

She lives as a survivor, almost. She breathes as a side effect of death. 

Augustus Waters rejects that she is unextraordinary. He is a sexy, metaphoric, hot boy with an endless mind and osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer, took one of his legs, leaving him with a prosthetic and a stump. That doesn't mean that he is a depressed, lonely, guy, no, he is by the far the most infinitely fascinating boy to have graced my literary world. I just can't seem to solve the mystery of Mr. Waters. 

He lives as a survivor, almost. He lives by the grandness of a roller coaster that only seems to be heading up. 

I want to say that he is an enigma, but I'm not sure if that's the right way to put him as he is quite open to Hazel. Augustus is that kind of character where you feel like he is fine and develop a crush on. Like Four from Divergent, just minus the whole 'Dauntless' and 'four fears' and 'mysterious past' measures. Let's just say it is fairly easy to develop crushes on guys that don't exist for the sake of imagination. 

The way that John Green displays these characters in such a story just pulls on your heartstrings, literally. It's such a simple story, but the complexity of the romance is how their diseases play into everything: their encounter, their experiences together, their feelings towards one another, their love story. This book makes you want to curl up into a ball and not let go of the story forever. 

The Story itself is hard to explain. But then again all stories are hard to explain. I'll give too much away if I summarize it, yet it's very vague if I don't. Let me just say that the two bond over books, one of their friends goes blind, and there is a very beautiful European city in the mix. Augustus is willing to go all out, while Hazel wavers, almost becoming her disease. Peter Van Houten is a dick, and that is giving away all too much already. Sisiphys the hamster has a future, although the same cannot be said about Anna's mom. 


So unless you want a huge spoiler, I suggest that you leave the rest to the book.

Buy it here on Amazon~

To be honest, I think the book was definitely a masterpiece. I also think that the movie is going to the book justice, judging by the trailers and clips I have seen on the web and on YouTube. John Green himself said that he felt the movie portrayed the book stunningly, so I am just going to follow our beloved author's judgment. 

Speaking of the movie, why don't we all see the trailer (although you've probably watched it only a few million times already): 

The Fault in Our Stars Official Trailer (2014)

Alittle more about John Green:

He has been the author of a total of four solo books and about two/three co-authored books as well. The author of Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns, An Abundance of Katherines, and now The Fault in Our Stars, Green is a force to be reckoned with. His writing isn't amazingly elegant, but the stories they portray are touching and realistic. Almost. 

Young Adult fiction. Sigh. 

About Yours Truly :)

Just some things about myself :)

Question 1: Do you have a pet?

No. I do not have a pet, unfortunately. I am quite allergic to extremely furry things. I used to have a Cheshire cat, i was given it as a present, but I ended up giving it to my aunt. 

Question 2: Many many friends or only a few best friends?

Only a few best friends. However, I believe in being a nice person to everyone, so I guess I have many acquaintances and good people to be around. 

Question 3: How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?

Oh, I would be twenty because one of my biases, Daehyun, is twenty. The age gap makes me cry ;A; YES I AM YOUNG BUT NOT AS YOUNG AS YOU THINK I AM. 

Question 4: What do you like best about yourself? (Character only)

I like strange split-personality. When I'm around my friends and stuff, I'm quite bubbly and carefree and fun to be around (I guess?), but when I'm with my family or at home, I tend to be quiet and serious and keep to myself. Mysterious, even. 

Question 5: What do you like best about yourself? (now body)

Well, nothing really. I'm tallish, I have long legs, but I got a little meat on 'em. I guess my stomach. Dem pre-ab lines, girl. 

Question 6: Which languages do you speak and which is your favorite?

I speak English (obviously), two dialects of Chinese: Mandarin and Cantonese, a little bit of Korean, a little bit of Latin, a little bit of Spanish, a little bit of French, and the smallest bit of Swiss. But I'm thinking of attending Japanese classes this fall. 

Question 7: Your all time favorite song?

Well, for starters, there are a handful of songs I could play over and over and never get sick of. One song, "Into Your World" by EXO, I've played around 800 times in the past year? Also, B.A.P's "1004." Definitely. I also like piano music. Another song would be the Main Theme to "Princess Mononoke," a Studio Ghibli film. Oh! And "Miracles in December." I could listen to that all day. 

I don't know. I don't think I have just ONE song. 

Question 8: Failing or never even trying?

Failing. Definitely. I've never really experienced a true, serious "Fail," but I've failed many minor times and always learned something out of it. 

Question 9: Do you believe in miracles? Have you ever experienced one if you do?

Yes, I believe in miracles, and yes, I have. 

Question 10: Your happiest childhood memory?

Watching old TV cartoons and building small houses with stuff from around the house and crawling inside. 

Question 11: Do you know I know you know I think I know that you know that I think I know what you are thinking? 

So you think I know that you think you know that I think that I know that you think you know what I think? I don't think so ;D

 Question 12: Do you have siblings?

Yes, I have a little brother who drives me nuts. 

Question 13:  If you could choose your home country (where you were born) which country would it be?

I would've been born in the same country, the United States :)

Question 14: Main course or dessert?

Main course! When would you get to eat Hanwoo otherwise?! [Hanwoo is Korean Beef]

Question 15: Your favorite subject in school and the one you hate the most.

I love English but I hate Math.

Question 16:  If you could live the life of someone or something else for one day, who or what would you be?

I would live the life of one of B.A.P's coordinators. Preferably NOT a noona. On the other hand, it would be a glamorous life as a water bottle as well xD

Question 17: Your favorite Disney princess and the reason. XD

I like Sleeping Beauty because I used to think that her prince was really hot O.O

Question 18: What is the very first song you remember listening to? (theme song is also allowed)

Um... the Pokemon theme song? I have cousins ten years older than me, it is possible xD

Question 19: Many relationships to gain experience, or waiting for "the one"?

Well, I guess a mix of both. I mean, not so many that you have to count, but maybe like three? I'm all for waiting for "the one" though. 

Question 20:  The sentence (said by some we-know-everything-better-adults) you hate hearing the most.

"You're too young to understand. Wait until you're older." 

Question 21: Korean dramas or veriety shows? Or both?

Definitely both. I'm all for the all-around Korean experience. Also because I have a thing for cheesy love dramas and funny hot guys ;)

Question 22: Why do you like listening to Korean music? (only ONE sentence!)

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF COURSE I DO YES YES YES YES OF COURSE. 

Don't judge. I just happen to be a huge K-Pop fan xD

Bumping into B.A.P

Any of you part of the B.A.P fandom? The sea of Babies? (That sounds really stupid, no offense).

B.A.P

From the left: Zelo, Youngjae, Himchan, Yongguk, Daehyun, Jongup

More information on B.A.P here~

Well, they had a concert in New York City, where I live, yesterday! It was part of the "Live on Earth" tour, but I didn't go. I guess you could say that I'm not that big of a B.A.B.Y, as I just recently developed an interest in the group, not just their music. I guess it was because songs like "Warrior" were never that eye-catching to me, so I avoided them a bit. However, 1004 is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. The instrumentals, their voices, the performances, everything about that song and its promotions has been and still is continuing to be stellar. Since I liked the song, I decided to download all of "First Sensibility." I'm not going to say that I'm the ultimate B.A.B.Y, as I have not been with them since the beginning, but I still love them very much. 

Okay! Back to what I saying. You are probably wondering about the title, "Bumping into B.A.P." Well, that was what I did last Saturday. Here's the WHOLE story.

I am a New Yorker. I live in New York City. I am a girl. So naturally, I have the urge to go buy clothes on the streets every now and then. So on Saturday, after getting my macaron fix from Tous Les Jours, I took the subway down to Downtown Broadway. Or East/West/Whatever Broadwaty. Either way, it was not uptown Broadway. I first went to Utrecht, which is an arts store, to pick up some watercolour paper and ink. I'm also an amateur artist. Then I scheduled a meet-up with one of my cousins so we could go shopping for spring clothes, for it is spring in the Northern Hemisphere. 

My cousin, Vincent, just got back home from California, as he attends university there. Stanford nerds :s After eating some Chinese grub in Chinatown, we went on a stroll up Broadway. Let me just tell you that guys shop just as much as girls if not more. We went through J.Crew, Madewell, Allsaints, Prada, Brandy Melville, Timberland, etc. etc. (We didn't go in that order) I acquired clothes. He bought this gorgeous Allsaints leather jacket that was super expensive (It was like six hundred dollars, okay, that's expensive) and now I am overcome by this green monster. 

I got a call from my mom as we were headed towards Topshop, which is merged with Topman [the male version of Topshop] on Broadway. She was calling about getting my graduation dress, as I had not gotten one yet, and I was telling her about going to Bloomingdale's to check them out when all of a sudden I bumped into this guy. 

I looked up, and came face to face with an Asian guy with tinted/dyed hair. Specifically, a Korean guy. A Korean tourist. He was like "Sorry," and being the courteous thing I am, I replied with "No,  it was my fault. I'm sorry." He was with a friend, and they nodded at me before chattering away into the store. I raised my phone to resume my conversation before it hit me. I've seen that guy before. I'VE SEEN THOSE GUYS SOMEWHERE BEFORE.

Korean... Boys... Seen somewhere... Familiar... Dyed hair... K-POP IDOLS. THEY EQUAL K-POP IDOLS.

So, I turned, grabbed Vinny's arm, and dragged him to the store they entered. Turns out they were headed to Topman, too (I'm a Badman~~ Sorry I had to). I therefore spent the next fifteen minutes stalking the two. It wasn't hard to find them, but my mom was yelling on the other end of the phone and wouldn't shut up. If I hung up she just called me again. The whole time Vinny was going "You are insane, girl. INSANE" and "Who are they even? Let me guess, EXO members?" and "Whoa! That guy looks so gay though! Who buttons their shirt all the way up?" to which I responded with, "A SMART GUY, YOU IDIOT."

The only problem with being a new B.A.B.Y is memorizing their names though. I always watched their performances and stuff, but I wasn't so obsessed with them that I watched their variety shows or whatever. I didn't know exactly WHICH members they were. And my mom wouldn't shut up about getting Alice & Olivia dresses and maybe even Ted Baker ones that I couldn't search up their faces. So, I grabbed Vinny's iPhone and began searching up B.A.P to his protest. Member confirmation?

Daehyun and Youngjae. 

I bumped into Daehyun. I BUMPED INTO JUNG DAE HYUN. AS IN, JUNG DAE HYUN SINGING GENIUS. [The member to the right in photograph above]

However, after my fifteen minute stalk fest, a huge crowd of British tourists swept into the store and I lost them. I briefly found them in Hollister, but then lost them again. Grr...

The saddest part is that I DIDN'T EVEN GET AN AUTOGRAPH. NOT EVEN A PICTURE. YENNO WHY? BECAUSE OF MY LACK OF SHARPIES AND MY FREAKING MOTHER. WHY IS MY GRADUATION DRESS SO IMPORTANT. IT IS JUST A DRESS. B.A.P IN NYC??? RARE AS HELL. RARE. K-POP IDOLS IN NYC? RARE RARE RARE. THEY ARE HARDLY EVER HERE ;A;

So now I am disappointed, sad, and lonely. However, I am fangirlish on the inside, as I had touched Daehyun and wasn't pulled away by security or saesangs or whatever. To be honest? They are goddamn hot in real life. So hot that I would curse. They are beautiful beings, B.A.P. My bias is Yongguk, but I don't care about members anymore. Just seeing them and touching them and hearing them in real life is beyond anything I could ask for. 

I spent the rest of the day educating my cousin on B.A.P, but he only goes like "What is the difference? They all look the same!" to which I respond with a kick in the nuts. 

So, yeah. This was my encounter with B.A.P members. I wish I went to the "Live on Earth" concert yesterday, but someone I know went and I was incredibly jealous. To the fancams and whatnot! I now will fully reside by my computer, as EXO's comeback is tomorrow as well~ Now all we need is an EXO or SMTOWN concert in New York. It's funny how I'm not even a full-fledged B.A.B.Y, yet I met them already. And as an EXOtic, I wish I could meet EXO the same way, too. Well, just with an autograph and picture next time. 

Hence I shall begin bringing a Sharpie and disposable camera with me everywhere I go from now on. 

Eleanor and Park~

Oh. My. God. This book. Just thinking about it gives me feels. Oh god. 

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 

Buy it here on Amazon~

This book is just tear-jerkingly good. I finished it at about two in the morning a few months ago, and let me just say it made my cry so much I couldn't comprehend anything. it's like... almost the size of The Fault in Our Stars's emotional damage times two. 

The story follows a girl named Eleanor and a boy named Park who fall in love. Sounds totally cliche, I know. But there is a twist in their lives, and their romance is a much more bumpy one. This book conveys what it's like to be in love whilst you're young, and it really pulls heartstrings at points. The book basically shows that the first love practically never lasts, but there are two people willing to attempt at defying that rule. Their backgrounds are totally different, but somehow, they end up loving each other. It gives off the message that you don't necessarily have to be pretty, skinny, and whatever it is girls want to be, to find a love worth fighting for. 

The Characters are beautifully crafted. They were born on the page as misfits. I guess you see more misfits in the fiction nowadays, and it really does help readers to connect. Park Sheridan, god I just love that name, is a Korean American born into an Irish family. Yeah. His father was a U.S. soldier that married a Korean woman after serving in the Korean War. He is the main male of the story, and is the only Asian in the entire school. Which is kind of unfair, but quite realistic in Midwestern America. When you read the book, you'll understand why I love him so much. He's a straight-forward, inexperienced, hot guy. The kind that you want in a boyfriend. He is just... wow. 

Eleanor is a more... frustrating character in my opinion.  It's not that she's snobby or stuck-up or whatever, it's just that she is too busy wallowing in self-pity and living in her problems that she doesn't really try to live her life. However, she is realistic, and as a realist I do quite enjoy that she doesn't seem to be someone who is unachievable; in fact, I think she is someone we can all relate to in a way. Eleanor really does let her insecurity get in the way of life, which is what happens to a lot of us, and my heart really reached out towards the life she was leading. She seems to be an unlikely person that Park would fall for, yet you get that gut feeling that they were meant for each other. 

The character build-up in general was incredible. I love how Rowell is able to create her characters so artistically and effectively. Being an Asian myself especially, I can understand the discrimination and semi-isolation from others when in a non-Asian environment. She handles her characters so very delicately, yet there is passion and emotion in all the actions they take and decisions they make. It's just a work of art. 

The Story is captivating. I know the whole Asian-coupley thing isn't huge in the teen literature world, but in this story, it plays a major role in the enjoyment and pain of the reader. Rowell handles the difference in ethnicity and heritage to weave a socially inacceptable couple in their society and shows that love really can cross boundaries. The story isn't just about love, it is about so many other topics that every one of us has come across or will come across. 

The story is about how Park and Eleanor fall in love unknowingly, then all at once. They bond through comic books and Walkman tapes (this is 1986, people, 1986), then have to overcome the hurdles in life set in front of them. Happy ending? No promises. 

The book is just so... [insert unidentified murmuring and fangirl groans] YOUNG ADULT SLASH TEEN SLASH ROMANCE SLASH COMEDY. It will make you laugh, make you go "Aww~" and make you cry. 

I love saying that Eleanor & Park is "a quiet book with a resonating voice," because it is. Generally, I'm not that into major-cliche-love stories (well, maybe I am), but when I read this I cried. Well, I cry during any emotionally touching book which is possibly every book I read and buy, but this book really is special. 

As for the couple, I ship them even if Eleanor is a crazy witch in my dreams. 

Suggestions for reviews? 

Lemonades, Papercuts, and Writing

I may or may not be obsessed with teas. And Lemonades. And water. If there is a drink, I will drink it (if its not alcohol. Not much of a drinker in THAT area). So, there's this brand called "Hubert's Lemonade," and I just love it. I'll post the link to their website (Yes, I'm THAT obsessed with the brand). The Half & Half ones with green tea are my favorites <3

Enter the world of life-changing lemonade~

So, aside from lemonade, there is paper cuts to deal with. Truthfully, I am a very careful person. I'm organized, my books are alphabetized and my desk is polished so well I can see the reflection of my cup on it. But for some reason, I just keep cutting myself on the edges of papers and books and any sort of paper-material. Literally, my hands are covered with paper cuts that I have no idea where they came from. I touch a lot of paper every week, but I rarely ever got paper cuts. Now it seems like my skin is made of paper. I have this long cut from the base of my pinky finger to the joint thing, and assorted cuts and scrapes of varied proportions. Let's just say that paper has not been kind to me over the past few weeks. Anyways, aside from the growing danger that paper seems to be taking revenge on me, that's it with my history of injuries. For now. 

I am a writer. An amateur one, to be exact. I usually construct fan fiction off artists that I like (no, not One Direction or anything like that), and dabble a bit in writing futuristic storylines, although I feel more comfortable writing about older eras. I have written and started many stories, but most of them are quite short and unfinished. Being an avid reader, I find it very inspiring when reading a good book. My recommendations are varied though, as I read practically every book that looks interesting. This was why reading Divergent was such a different experience for me; reading about such a complicated character and her intricately woven world was such an eye-opener. Roth did a really good job constructing the characters, placing them in a world where fighting for what you love and believe in is survival, and discussing the true meaning of being different. The trilogy is just so perfectly written and such an inspirational piece, I feel like I could burst at the seams from all the emotions felt reading the book. Building a plot like that is extremely difficult, as I have tried it myself, and it requires skill and determination to even create the book into something you want. Possibly the hardest part of writing fiction and whatnot is that you need to know your characters. Not just that they are people in a story, but as the end result and the symbol of your views and what you want to express. You need to have the stubbornness and the persistence to keep writing. 

There are lots of great writers nowadays. There's always been tons of great writers. I love writers of touching books that weave stories of love that aren't too cliche and honeyed over. Writers like Rainbow Rowell, John Green, Kristen Cashore, Paolo Giordano, Harper Lee,... from writers of young adult fiction to adult fiction. I also love historical fiction books, but not from the regular "girl-in-the-Civil-War-days" kinds, but more along the lines of Edward Rutherfurd, who writes spell-binding novels of the histories of famous cities. I'm currently reading his Princes of Ireland: The Dublin Saga by the way, and let me just say, wow. He can spin tales about generation after generation of people like the back of his hand. Heads up, I'll probably be writing about some of these authors sooner or later. 

Yes. I fangirl and go beserk over books. 

There are also older writers that I've loved since the beginning (which was four years ago or so): Charles Dickens, George Orwell, Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald... the list goes on. There's always the classics, and I've always loved the classics. I remember picking up a copy of Animal Farm a few years back, not understanding anything I was reading. Picking it up again recently, I enjoyed it so much more as compared to my previous experience. F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby? Great book, great movie. I think I used to have a poster of it, but hid it away somewhere after waking up to glowing eyes in the middle of the night. Time to rummage through me ol' junk :) 

So... Not knowing how-to end a post... again... but

English shit and I shall never part. EVER.

I am not going to review each and every song, only selected ones. The ones that are my favorite, that is. To be honest, I do not really like rap music, so some songs like "Backwards" and "Fight For You" I avoided, but I did hear parts of them and the songs aren't that bad. The following are some of my favorites:

Find You- Zedd [ft. Matthew Koma and Miriam Bryant]

Listen Here~

I am a fan of Zedd. The first time I heard one of his songs was in an H&M store, where there was mix of "Clarity" and other artists like One Direction and David Guetta and Pitbull and blah blah blah. I was looking through the shoes when the song came on, and I remember stopping for the whole time the part of "Clarity" was playing. Then I searched it up. My favorite Zedd songs are "Stay the Night" (ft. Hayley Williams) and "Spectrum" (ft. Matthew Koma). Zedd's songs all have the same kind of vibe, and I kind of brand his music as "Shiny music." I don't actually know why, but the music is just really really well-made and he is just a genius. I'm not that big of a fan of Skrillex, but I think that Zedd has a more metallic, cool, starry feel. Whatever it is, I like it. 

Beating Heart- Ellie Goulding

Listen Here~

This song fits Divergent so well. After getting the books, I read them all listening to this song. Just listening to the chorus makes me have Fourtris feels. "I want to make the best of what is left, hold tight" DO YOU KNOW HOW SADDENING THIS LINE IS WHEN READING ALLEGIANT??? I ALMOST CRIED. OH MY HOLINESS (Although I am not holy). "And I'll be leaving in the morning in the white-wine bitter sunlight" Yes. Like the time Tris slipped out of Tobias's arms? Readers I know you feel with me. The lyrics are so beautiful, and although I'm not that big of an Ellie Goulding fan, she captures the feeling of the trilogy and the film so well listening to the song for the first time silenced me. "I just want to be by your side".... I am totally going to do a lyric post for this song.

I Won't Let You Go- Snow Patrol

Listen Here~

I am a huge fan of Snow Patrol. I loved them ever since first listening to "Chasing Cars" four years ago, and I still love them and all their songs. Their music is just perfect for the road, the subway-- everything. There's that feeling that I don't know how-to explain. Anyways, this song is just perfect. I can picture Four singing this, as he was always like, "Don't act rash" and "You die, I die".... you know. The whole "over-protective-hot-boyfriend" thing. This song just fits nicely into the mood of the series. 

I Need You- M83

Listen Here~

I'm going to declare this out loud: I AM A HUGE M83 FAN. My friends think I'm weird- most of them don't even know M83, but I love their music to death. It's weird how varied my taste is though... one minute I am blasting Marianas Trench and then I'm crying softly to Davichi. I guess its the artistic side of me. Anyways, this song is perfect for the ending. It is also a great road song. I was in the taxi this morning, and the song is really good on the highway.  It has this therapeutic, serene feel and I just love songs like these. The instrumentals are freaking gorgeous in my opinion, and I also think that the lyrics and the kind of singing M83 is associated with just work so well together. You just can't go wrong with this song. It is fantastic. 

I love the soundtrack. It is really good. I actually bought it and preordered Four on Amazon. Who can't wait for the fourth book? I know I can't xD Tobias is just such a lovely character. 

I probably should stop posting about Divergent. I probably sound like a obsessed fangirl or something. Anyways, later bros.
