Song of the Week winner | FRHiendships
SOTW: My Little Friend
Artist: Wanting
Hi, I'm Tze Heng from Block 5, majoring in Mathematics!
1. What are some of your hobbies?
Nothing pretty special, my hobby includes reading, browsing the Internet, listening to my favorite music, and playing rhythm games haha.
2. What kind of music do you listen to? Any favorite artists/ genre?
I'd say it's pretty diverse. They range from pop jazz (like city pop), game/anime soundtracks, indie pop/rock music, lo-fi music to some electronic music. Some artists that I recommend searching up on Spotify would be Birocratic, Porter Robinson, RADWIMPS, Mili, Sheena Ringo, Kaho Nakamura, Ginger Root, Sakuzyo, Hiroyuki Sawano, Yoko Shimomura and Kensuke Ushio.
3. Why did you choose this song?
I chose My Little Friend by Wanting because I happen to know this song since I was in primary school, and find that song fits and conveys the theme of the jukebox pretty well, as its musical development is constructed very well through climax building using orchestral sounds, which comes very well with its simple yet emotionally impactful lyrics.
Lyrics:
Come sit with me, my little friend, help me understand
Why do they always want me to be what I can’t become?
I try to make sense of it all
I know I can, I know I can
I try to jump and catch the ball
Even if I fall, even if I fall…
Every time I’m feeling down, I can hear you say
“Nothing is everything going to waste, don’t throw it away, don’t throw it away”
Every time I’m feeling small, about to hit a wall
I look into your eyes suddenly I’m ok
I can count on you, I can count on you
I’ll stand by you, my little friend, help you walk again
I’ll give you a push and be there for you, like you were there for me
I try my best not to disappoint
You know I’m better than that, yeah I’m better than that!
And if the world turned their back on me
I know you’ll be right here next to me
Every time I’m feeling down, I can hear you say
“Nothing is everything going to waste, don’t throw it away, don’t throw it away”
Every time I’m feeling small, about to hit a wall
I look into your eyes suddenly I’m ok
I can count on you, I can count on you
I am sorry
Sometimes when I’m in my own world, oh I can be so cold
But you’ve always believed in me…
Every time I’m feeling down, I can hear you say
“Nothing is everything going to waste, don’t throw it away, don’t throw it away”
Every time I’m feeling small, about to hit a wall
I look into your eyes suddenly I’m ok
I can count on you, I can count on you
Every time I’m feeling down, I can hear you say
“Nothing is everything going to waste, don’t throw it away, don’t throw it away”
Every time I’m feeling small, about to hit a wall
I look into your eyes suddenly I’m ok
I can count on you, I can count on you
