SONG OF THE DAY: I SOLD MY BED BUT NOT MY STEREO--CAPITAL CITIES

If we only have two things and need to sell one of it, which one do we sell? Stereo or bed?
“ Take a seat like a backbeat lover, mixed
tapes and cushions on the floor. I sold my bed but not my stereo, I sold my bed
but not my stereo.”
Last night, Mbak Ki and I
talked about Capital Cities's song. She said, “I sold my bed but not my ipadchu” (she named
her iPad ipadchu) and I was lol-ed at her statement. We were busy arguing which one we love more. Then I jokingly said, "If I have
to choose, I’d love to save my stereo. Haha". I remember when people had their
first salary on handphones, I bought a guitar and a speaker. Whenever I go out more than a day, I miss my speaker (yes. I'm a weirdo). I think I can sleep on the floor but I need
to hear better bass and treble. So, I will sell my bed as long as my stereo is still
on me. Haha, I'm kidding. I need a good sleep too -__-". I think Mbak Ki would reject my opinion but she was agreed. She will sell her bed instead of her iPad (where she saved all the music she likes). Normal people don't answer the same way as these weirdos, seriously. LOL.
Rather than the good beat, I’m happy this
song represents the heart of the music lover itself. Yes, of course, the beat is easy to
make you nod. The deep bass is dope, the trumpet melody is cool. The cheerful vibe pumps my spirit up, I couldn't reject to sing along. But wait, do people really choose music over nice sleep? It's a really hard option :)
I remember one day my friends told me that I'm not single anymore. They said I have a boyfriend: speaker. Hahaha -____-"
“This is a love song to a
beat-up stereo, it represents music and our love for it and how much more music
is than anything in our lives”—Sebu Simonian, Capital Cities
