I'm sure music save most of people's life. It would make you happy, it would cheer you up when you're sad, and even make you stronger when you're feeling down. Sometimes when you listen to your favorite song, it feels like the song was written for you. Have you ever feel like that? Because I did. The lyrics is describe your situation and that's when you realize you're not alone with your life situation, no matter how sad or happy you are. Some people also been there or maybe experience their worst day or best day as well. So here's 5 songs that sounds like it was written for my life.

1. Hey Everybody - 5 Seconds Of Summer

"we can't afford to give up, we gotta make our own luck..."

There was a moment that I thought my job isn't good enough for me or I want to give up with my dreams, etc or a moment when I'm really broke and don't know what to do. This song describe all of those days a lot and when I almost give up, I remember this song.

2. Ain't It Fun - Paramore



"Ain't it fun..living in the real world." 

It's not as fun as I imagine, but it's pretty fun anyway! This is when I start to provide my own life, not depending on my parents anymore. This song describe my journey on my 20s.

3. Throne - Bring Me The Horizon



"So you can throw me to the wolves, tomorrow I will come back leader of the whole pack."

Betray, humiliate, and hurt..yes, I've been there. The funny thing is all of those crap that I've been through didn't make me fall down. I become a better person, even I have my whole squad on my side! Every lyrics on this song is 100% true!

4. Voodoo Doll - 5 Seconds Of Summer



"I don't even like you, why'd you want to go and make me feel this way? And I don't understand what's happened, I keep saying things I never say."

Another song by 5 Seconds Of Summer! This one is funny because this is how I felt last year and it's so true. Did they see my future when they wrote this song? I don't have to explain which part of my life that could relate with this song because every lyrics from this song is really describe my thoughts. Yes, that's exactly what happened in my life last year.

5. So Far Away - Avenged Sevenfold



"How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned. Place and time always on my mind..I have so much to say but you're so far away." 

When my grandma passed away, this song is stuck in my mind. It's hard for me not to think about her when I hear this song. This song always make me emotional from the very first time and as my grandma is gone as well, this song also have a special place on my mind.

That's my top 5 of the songs that was written for me (based on my thoughts of course, not the song writer). What about you? I would love to know, so feel free to write it on the comment box!

Bring Me The Horizon That's The Spirit Review

Today is the day, Bring Me The Horizon release day for That's The Spirit. They already gave us a chance to listen to 5 amazing track from this album and for us who already pre-order the album, today is a pretty good day! 

I still remember the first time I listened to BMTH. I was in high school, it was 10 years ago (ugh, I feel old). I was in a metal band and my friend told me your hair looks like the lead singer from Bring Me The Horizon. I was like, really?? And then he asked me to listen to Pray For Plagues and he bet I would love it. Well, he's right! I love it and I become a huge fan since that day. I grew up listened to their songs and everytime they released a new album, I always thought that they always make their songs sounds even better and better. I'm so proud of their achievement and I'm also glad I had a chance to saw their concert in Jakarta back on 2011. I wish one day I could meet them in person because they all amazing! Anyway, on 2011 I also launched my blog for BMTH: indoheartbmth and thank you Oliver Sykes for following me (his blog turned to be a drop dead blog right now) and he reblogged my song cover of The Masterplan - Oasis  and I'm still stoked everytime I remember that day.

Now they released their new album, I'm so amaze of what they've done. Oliver Sykes could make his dark times to a wonderful masterpiece, Jordan Fish make the band sounds interesting, Lee Malia still gave me a good vibe with his guitar, Matt Kean bass gave me chills on every songs, and Matt Nicholls whoa he's totally nailed it. So here's my review for Bring Me The Horizon new album, That's The Spirit:

1. Doomed
Is it a right track? That's my first thought. It doesn't sound like BMTH at all but I love it. I mean I never expect them to write a song like this and it turns out that it's really good. Oliver Sykes voice is wonderful, where did he hide his beautiful voice in the past few years? I already have a goosebump on the first track. It's like I ate apple everyday and finally I eat blueberry, do you know what I mean? Like I listen to great stuff and then I listen they're surprise me with the best stuff.


2. Happy Song
This song makes me happy, no wonder because it's a Happy Song. Can't help myself not to join to shout S.P.I.R.I.T SPIRIT! LET'S HEAR IT!


3. Throne
Standing applause for this song. Could I be any more agree with the lyrics? This song is totally lift up my spirit. Thanks to BMTH for writing amazing song like this. Love the sounds of every instruments that they've played because if you listen carefully, you could hear all of it and it sounds great. Jordan Fish and Matt Nicholls make it more interesting. Try to hear every instrument, you could also heard Matt Kean and Lee Malia killed it. Fyi, my mom also love this song.


4. True Friends
Dear BMTH, are you read my mind? This is what I felt and it was messing with my head in the past few months and they made this song, a perfect song and a coincidence. I feel like I wanna give this song for my frenemy.


5. Follow you
When I heard the intro, I was trying to guess what would they do to this song? As Oliver start to sing, they amaze me more. Once again, I never expect them to write a song like this and yes, I still love it. I could chillin' somewhere while listen to this song.

6. What you need
 When they hit the chorus, I could imagine being in the crowd at their concert, singing out loud together with the crowd and I could imagine the situation. This song makes me want to sing along.

7. Avalanche
The sounds of Lee's guitar is the winner in this song. This is some kind of song that makes you want to sing along. It's gonna be my jam! Probably will sing it on the bathroom, ssshh let's keep it a secret.

8. Run
My heart can't take it, this song is so beautiful. It's my favorite! The chorus is stuck in my head from the very first time I heard this song. The lyrics and the melody is suit perfectly and pretty dramatic. I replied this song a thousand times for a whole day.

9. Drown
I still remember the first time they released this song, I was like whoa.. they start to change their sound in a very good way. They are getting better and better and better! I wish they also add the acoustic version that they played on BBC radio to the album because that's extremely beautiful.

10. Blasphemy
Boom! This song is really catchy for my ears, another favorite song? I guess I could never pick my favorite song because I love all of it. But seriously, I bet everyone will love this song.

11. Oh no
Oh no, I feel like dancing for this song! And I'm not even a good dancer but I don't care, this song makes me want to move. Wait a minute, is that a sound of saxophone? Well done BMTH well done.

That's my thought, congratulations for Bring Me The Horizon. I thought you create a masterpiece with Sempiternal and now That's The Spirit won my heart again. Let me know your thoughts and your favorite song from That's The Spirit. And if you haven't but their CD, go buy it. It's a must have album on 2015, trust me.

Now That's The Spirit: How to nailed it on September

I can't believe it's already September! So many event this month from Runway Show, Jakarta Comic Con and the day that I've been waiting for: Bring Me The Horizon new album, That's The Spirit. September is getting me so exciting. Speaking about That's The Spirit, apart from the album title, I was impress that BMTH new songs could explain what I am feeling in the past few weeks. You know that kind of feeling when you found some songs and the lyrics are so related to you, it's like the song represent your mind. One of their song called "Throne" for the example:

"So you can throw me to the wolves, tomorrow I will come back, leader of the whole pack. Beat me back and blue, every wound will shape me, every scar will build my throne. The sticks and the stones that you used to throw have built me an empire".

The worst thing in my life, the people who secretly try to drag you down with them, and all those things who could possibly be the bad things in your life could be your weapon to have a better life and to make your dreams come true. I'm so glad some people throw me to the wolves and I already come back as a leader of the whole pack. I'm grateful that I could make the worst thing in my life as a trigger to change my life, it works! Every pain has a reason, that's your choice for you to turn it around. If you think your life is sucks or you need a better month, give September a chance. Here's a few ways for you to nailed it on September.

1. Leave your comfort zone.
This is the hardest part but it's the only way to change your life. Of course it's hard to leave your comfort zone because your life would be find but it won't help you to climb to a better place. Challenge yourself and you will surprise with everything that you've got after you leave your comfort zone.

2. Think outside the box.
If you want to leave your comfort zone, you have to think outside the box. Make a list of something that you want to achieve and how to get there in so many possible ways.

3. Excercise more.
Excercise every morning could help you to get a spirit for a whole day. I love doing cardio and 8 minute abs every morning. It's pretty fun!

4. Surround yourself with inspiring people.
I read somewhere (I'm sure it's Pinterest but I forgot the source) that the 5 closest person to you could reflect yourself. So if you surrounded with the lazy people, there's a chance for you to be as lazy as they are. Being surround by people who wants to achieve their big dreams could inspire you to work even harder and you could even support each others. But don't worry, if your friends isn't have a huge ambition to reach their dreams, you could put it as an example that you don't wanna be like them, you have to be better. Get inspired with every little things around you.

5. If all fails, hang on and try again.
If you still have a bad day after you tried a lot of things, hang on.. don't stop trying. You're not the one who has a bad day. Try harder to make yourself happy, there's always a way and sometimes you don't realize what it is, you just have to figure it out with a clear mind.

Now that's the spirit and go beat your September!
