Hello, my sweet music notes! Alleluia
to our risen King! I hope you all have
been having a very holy and blessed Easter season. Mine has been nothing short of beautiful.
I’m going to be honest: I’ve been so distracted lately that I nearly
forgot about writing this blog post. Now
that Lent is over and I’m out of school for the summer, I’ve been overwhelmed
with the amount of things that I can do!
Hahaha. Sorry this post is a bit
later than usual!
Anyway—my favorites for the month of April. Here we go~!
Let us begin with a film, shall we?
Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
Omg you guys. This movie gave me
so many feels. I can’t even begin to
articulate. I’ll begin by saying that it
is a great movie and I really enjoyed
it. So much action! I was literally on the edge of my seat two or
three times. But I’m just a comic
book nerd like that. If you haven’t
seen it yet, definitely GO SEE IT. LIKE
SOON.
I can’t really say much about it without spoilers, but wow, the
storyline was quite unexpected. In a
good way, mind you. I just wasn’t
expecting it to be so intense and multi-faceted.
Let’s just say that The Winter Soldier makes me very excited—and curious—about
the upcoming Marvel Universe films, particularly Avengers: Age of Ultron.
My music feature for this month goes to three-man Korean band Lunafly, composed of members Sam, Teo,
and Yun. The leader, Sam Carter, is
half-Korean, half-British, and has a wonderfully clear voice. He also plays guitar, as does Yun. Yun is my bias (favorite member) for this group. He has a lovely personality, and his voice is
so warm and versatile. He plays keyboards for the group. Teo is on percussion most of the
time. Most of their stuff is vocal and
acoustic, which ya’ll know I really like.
Believe it or not, I didn’t find them from listening to k-pop. I was actually on YouTube looking for new
covers of Pink’s Just Give Me a Reason, which is one of my favorite songs to
sing. :-) All three members of Lunafly
speak English (Sam, being British, is fluent; Yun and Teo have pretty good pronunciation for a second language!), and they have many American pop (a-pop? lol) covers on their
channel. Their JGMaR is stunning. I love it!
I have consumed so much food
I’m also back to my games! Been
playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf,
and I finally made some progress in The
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD. I
got it as a Christmas gift and have only played it once. That’s ridiculous. XD But
my favorite game for the past month is Super
Mario 64. I bought it on the Wii’s
Virtual Console. This game, like many
others on the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, brings back so many fond memories for
me. Things that were tucked away in my
heart and mind—brought back to life through a video game controller.
Wow, so deep, Ashley.
‘Til next month, peeps. ^_^
