The song that I’d like to talk about is a song called High and Dry. It’s a rock song. Usually people have this stereotype thought that rock music mostly contains screaming and yelling and it’s a rough type of song. But this song is really peaceful and meaningful at the same time. I remember one day I was hanging out with one of my friends who I really trust his music taste and I asked this friend to play a song for me and he immediately played this song. And I remember the second that I started to listen to it, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction and it was full of meaningful words. It was a kind of love and pre-cop song at the same time. The singer of this song is Tom York from a band called Radiohead. This band is in English band and it’s kind of an old band so it’s not really well known and popular. The reason I really like this song is that back in the time when I was dealing with depression I used to listen to this song all the time. So I was emotionally attached to it and it had a sentimental value for me. Because whenever I was busy with the song it made me forget what’s going on for a short time. So that’s why I really love this song.
