First Post!

Hey everyone, this is Shiny Shinx's blog. Here, I'll write about personal things that aren't really for the site, like musicians I like, or what I think of shows or video games. I'll begin today with writing about my favorite band, No Doubt. One of my favorite things about them is the lyrics in their songs. For example, the lyrics in Happy Now? are*:
You had the best
But you gave her up
'Cause dependency might interrupt
Idealistic will so hard to please
Put your indecisive mind at ease
You broke the set
Now there's, there's only singles
There's no looking back
And this time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Tell me how
You're happy now
(Are you happy?)

The uncertainty you had of me
Brought clouded shady company
The tenderness habitual
A seldom-fading ritual
You killed the pair
Now only one is breathing
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Well tell me how
You're happy now
(Are you happy?)

Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
(Are you happy?)

No more leaning on your shoulder
I won't be there, no more bother
If you feel you just might want me
That's too bad, I'm not that easy

The contemplator all those years
And you must adhere
To your new career of liberation
You've been cast all by yourself
You're free at last
You broke the set
Now there's, there's only singles
There's no looking back
This time I mean it

Are you happy now?
Tell me how
You're happy now
(Are you happy?)

Are you happy now?
How is it now?
Are you happy now?
(Are you happy?)

Oh you're by yourself,
All by yourself
You've got no one else,
You're by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
All by yourself
No one else
No one else
By yourself
By yourself


For me, this song just screams break-up anthem. This song isn't about asking for another chance or anything, it's just saying "You messed up big time, and there's no Undo button". Another song by No Doubt, Ex-Girlfriend, also has break-ups written about in a different light.

Um, this is it. I can't really think of anything else to write.
