1am Thoughts... #1

So. I decided to do a thingy called "1am Thoughts" where I just randomly write random stuff. It's gonna be that one thing that all my blog readers/fans just skip over. That's right. All the one of them. Wow is that even a phrase?

In a message to my best friend while listening to a-ha:

It's really funny though, because at first, before releasing any albums (early 80s), a-ha experimented lots and recorded heaps of demos. They did/experimented with things like:

  • slightly evil-sounding laugh sounds
  • little chuckles
  • weird screaming-type sounds
  • nice harmonies and stuff
  • being innocent and pure but that wasn't deliberate
  • those interesting but also kinda endearing and classic clearing-throat/growl sounds that Morten and only Morten does 
  • sometimes speaking (mainly in English) in their amazing Norwegian accents
  • Morten's "informal" voice, which is still really good
  • sometimes that amazing breathy and melancholy voice
  • being underrated
  • a cockerel/rooster sound, or at least a try
  • ee, eeEE, EEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (see point above)
  • amazing vocal ranges and great songwriting in general
Random Talking to Myself:
So. What should I talk about? Oh yes. How I don't have a playlist for songs I like but don't love, without being categorised. I dunno. Omg recently I had Meant To Be Yours from Heathers: The Musical stuck in my head. I dunno why I said that. I was hoping it would give me some inspiration. Hmmmm what should I talk about? This is so much easier to do with another person. LOCUSTTTT (a-ha song I'm listening to... very Memorial Beach vibes, well maybe that's for a reason.)
When you're reading, does your mind ever wander but you're still reading, just not taking anything in? Then you miss a rather important detail which happens to be one of the biggest plot twists in the book... then you're like "WAIT WHAT HAPPENED?" when you zone back in again... and so you have a spoiler. Ugh I did that today and I'm so mad at myself.
Wow I just realised that I called this "1am Thoughts" and didn't write/post it at 1am. Oh well it has a nice ring to it...
Do you ever regret something so much even though it wasn't your fault or in your control? Wow I'm asking so many rhetorical questions. But anyway. So then you try to fix it sorta but your brain is like to you, "SINCE WHEN did you have the confidence to prompt interactions with humans?!" so then you don't and it starts an endless cycle of sadness.
Hmmmm I'm actually starting to get kinda tired, I was supposed to wait for my best friend to message me... but it's been an hour since the time she was meant to be online... so I'm gonna go to sleep. Watch my brain go at a million miles an hour now. 
I will leave you with these words: the "Palace of Pleasure" Remix of a-ha's Lifelines just doesn't go. Sorry.
