"Strobe Light" by Night Club, off of their 2013 EP, "Love Casualty"

Dancing alone in the darkness
At the edge of the night~ 💙

If you dig a good beat with that strong retro vibe, then this song is for you. Discovered this group through Comedy Central’s “Moonbeam City”, an adult animated comedy inspired by the art style of Patrick Nagel that came out a few weeks ago. Such an outrageous show, with some sweet, sexy, synthwavey goodness as provided by Night Club who not only made the show’s theme, but pretty much provided the whole soundtrack.

"Ready to Run" by The Chicks, off of their 1999 album, "Fly"

I'll buy a ticket to anywhere
I'm gonna be ready this time...

Retrospective Note 2022: I haven't felt this feeling in a very long time, the feeling that I need to run away in order to get a fresh start, but for a long time, pretty much throughout the entirety of the 2010s, I wanted to do just that. When I graduated in 2012, I was so sure I was gonna fly out to South Korea and study music there. No ties. Just a pure fresh start in a place I knew very little about. Of course, that didn't happen. I was barely making enough money to pay my own bills let alone a plane ticket abroad. A few years later around this time in 2015, I was feeling like running away to Boston. I had some friends up there, and I felt it would be PLENTY far away from everyone else. I was feeling quite guilty at the time. Guilty for quitting and leaving all my good friends behind while I tried to please my father by NOT doing what I loved. I was feeling ashamed about a lot of things, and I just wanted to disappear. Looking back, I'm glad I stayed, for I never would have been able to mend those relationships, and I never would be doing what I'm doing today. I'd probably be struggling even more, but who's to say really. God only knows. All I do know, is that I'm doing alright these days, and I'm so glad those old anxieties are long behind me. I'm stronger, more confident, and no longer letting bullshit that once held me back, hold me back any further.
