#sofie’s 30 day song challenge

[sincerely-sofie]

Hi! My name is Sofie. Welcome to my blog!

I'm a college student who loves God, nature, creepy-crawlies, and anything creative. I started this blog in July 2023 so I could have a place to record my experiences as I make a concentrated effort to try new things, find silver linings in every day, and be a stalwart disciple of Christ. You can expect a lot of things from this blog, including:

Art, comics, and maybe a written piece or two of my characters

Book notes and reviews (especially nonfiction and self-help)

Crafting misadventures

30-day challenges that range from learning how to write with my left hand, to writing and recording a new song, to drawing 100 portraits in 10 days

Diary comics about my day-to-day misadventures as an awkward but sincere crybaby doing her best

Essays about weirdly specific subjects that I'm obsessed with (the societal impact of fandom, cryptids throughout history, how a book about feral cats singlehandedly changed my opinion on reading, critiques of Webtoon and how it has impacted webcomic culture, etc)

Game dev diaries as I try to make text adventures, visual novels, and short RPGs

My valiant efforts to learn how to code despite being horribly incompetent with tech

Memes I make about daily life

Quotes that changed my entire perspective on life because they're just That Good

My testimony of the Gospel

And much, much more!

If that sounds appealing to you, stick around to read a few posts and maybe even follow me! I hope you enjoy your stay 'v'

Sincerely,

Sofie

Queen 30 Day Song Challenge: Day 7

A song that reminds you of someone

“All Dead, All Dead” reminds me of my childhood cat. No further explanation needed :( I really love this song, and I think Brian captured the pain we all feel when our little friends leave us.

#underrated song but hard to listen to #queen band #sofie's 30 day song challenge

A cool 30 days challenge by @drivenbybri

Day 1 - The first Queen song you heard

It was either BoRhap or We are the champions, though I had no idea 1) who Queen were and 2) that those two songs are from the same band 😂

#and the first song that actually made me their fan was Killer Queen #which was actually very convenient #30 days challenge #sofie's 30 day song challenge

⚠️ 'BTS Permission to Dance on Stage - LA' Press Conference

[Feature Article] Weverse Magazine November 30, 2021

“Because there are ARMYs, we can be together for a long time.”

On November 28, at 2 pm (EST), a press conference for 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - LA' was held at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, USA.

RM of BTS said, "The past two years during the pandemic have been a very difficult time for all of us. But through this concert, we want to show how BTS has grown over the past two years.”

As he said, this concert is not only a place where BTS meets their fans in person for the first time in two years, but also a song of comfort and hope to those who are going through a pandemic, with 'Dynamite', 'Butter', and 'Permission to Dance'. It was also a place for BTS to reconfirm the message conveyed by their music with ARMYs. Through this performance, BTS has compiled a summary of what they are saying about their music and ARMY, and in this era where hope is still needed.

SEOKJIN:

It has been about two years since we performed. Before the performance, the members had time to talk together in the waiting room, and the thing we talked about the most at yesterday's performance was that when we did the opening song 'ON', the audience would cry if we saw it. It's been a while since I've seen the fans, and I thought I might make a mistake, so I practiced a lot. It's time to meet the audience for the first time in two years, so the members were really nervous and prepared a lot. But even though we talked like that, in reality, no one cried.

(On the what it felt like performing after a very long time)

YOONGI:

I'm still very confused about being nominated for two years in a row. I grew up watching the Grammy Awards and awards ceremonies, so I am excited to be nominated, but of course it will not be easy. It is not easy to be nominated or to actually get the award, but as we said before, we are grateful that there are barriers to overcome and that we can take on challenges in the future. I wish I could get over it... There is a saying that goes: "There is no tree that cannot be climbed ten times." If we take a couple of shots moving forward, that could be our greed.

(On BTS' impressions after being nominated for a Grammy for the second consecutive year.)

HOSEOK:

I tend not to set too many standards for success. If you meet that standard, you become very tired mentally and physically to get to something else. So, rather than setting that standard, if I just work hard and live my life while being satisfied with my life, my current situation, and my mood, the results of such hard work will come naturally. I try very hard not to get caught up in that kind of thing. That way, I tend to keep my composure and continue building myself.

(On BTS' incredible success and recent accomplishments.)

NAMJOON:

I will add one word. Very simple. If success is 100%, 50% of the secret to success is ARMY. It seems that each of our members is about 5%. Then it becomes 35%, and the remaining 15% is shared by HYBE and BigHit. If I think of this success as a trophy, I think that the only part I actually occupy is a very small tip. If I think that this is not my own success but the success of many people, I keep myself humble, and having this mindset seems to be a very important factor in surviving while doing this job.

(On how BTS members maintain their sincerity inspite of all the success.)

JIMIN:

Actually, after yesterday's performance, there were a lot of really sad feelings. Because I have been waiting for the day to meet the fans for two years, but two years feel longer than I thought. So, when we met, I was very worried about what kind of expression I should make, what gestures I should do, what to say with what expression, and how much I could convey my feelings. So when I actually met the fans, I felt regretful because I didn't feel like I was able to enjoy it. Today, I'm going to try to make it a little more comfortable.

(On BTS' initial feelings after Day 1 of the PTD On Stage in LA.)

TAEHYUNG:

I like the music I grew up listening to since I was young, and I prefer the blues and things I’ve been doing more recently. I've been working on it because I thought I wanted to express myself through those styles of music, but it's difficult because I'm not an expert on those styles. I hope that one day I will be able to show this kind of music as well.

(On Taehyung liking jazz and if he has plans of trying out other genres he hasn't tried before.)

JUNGKOOK:

It’s a pity that we couldn’t meet all ARMYs, and I hope the day when we can do more performances comes sooner. As we haven't seen each other in two years, if given the opportunity, I would like to visit many places and do many performances and songs, but the situation is so bad that that moment is so sad. Still, we will work hard for those who come to see us, and I hope the moment will come when we can see more ARMYs in front of us as soon as possible. We are really looking forward to that day, too, and it is one of the things I want the most as a singer.

(On being asked to deliver a message for all the other ARMYs who couldn't come to the special four-day concert in LA.)

30 day song challenge - Queen

Day 22 - My favorite live song: Somebody To Love (Montreal 1981).

This performance is absolutely stunning. The Freddie’s voice and the power of the all instruments are amazing.

I love the Roger's intervention with his drums.

Album Review: San Holo shows us nostalgia is a magical feeling in 'album1'

EM Review Rating:

Like a flash of light, future bass luminary San Holo finally releases his highly anticipated debut album album1 – an instant hit that masterfully exhibits a collection of heartwarming, bittersweet tunes sure to pull at your heartstrings. After teasing us with single releases such as “worthy” and “brighter days” with Bipolar Sunshine, the Dutch DJ, guitarist, and producer extraordinaire is now leading electronic music into a soundscape of organic nostalgia and moody reverie with his album, a rainbow of raw human emotions drenched in pastels and shimmering gold.

Refreshing and utterly innovative, San’s experimental forays of amalgamating electronic music with the organic stringing of indie and folk, has built him a throne in which he perches, bringing his unique sound to the forefront of music. There’s no better career-defining moment than that of album1, a complete collection of what he stands for and what he believes music should be. Whilst true to San’s sound, album1 also showcases tracks that see him stepping outside of his typical perimeters, further challenging himself to innovate, to craft and to explore his abilities to blur the lines of music genres.

San’s distinct vocals alongside his soft yet powerful guitar riffs, is the basis of the album, weaving a deeply personal production and story. The exquisite and meticulous details in each and every track is a testament to San’s dedication, honouring his ambitions while exhibiting a sonically more mature him – one who has taken in all his lived experiences in both music and in life. The familiar and new sounds heard is his story – one that essentially reels us in for a journey of love, hope, and nostalgia.

album1 opens up the 12-track production with “everything matters (when it comes to you)”, a beautiful uplifting song that perfectly showcases his signature electronica/future bass sound. The airy yet energetic song utilizes breaks to give emphasis on the following melodies and chords, crafting effervescence. San also samples his friend Appleby‘s vocals for the titular lyrics, setting stone for the personal nature of the song but also, paving the way for San to introduce to his fans the new sounds he’d been working towards (as heard in the ending guitar riffs) – a preamble to the sonic styles that emerge in later tracks.

Sofie Winterson‘s soothing vocals headline for the next track “lift me from the ground” in a nostalgia-fuelled track that indeed, lifts one off of the ground sonically and emotionally. Ethereally angelic, San and Sofie weave together an experiential juxtaposition of downtempo and lively chords that rings true for people. Slowing down, “show me” displays San’s mastery of evocative future-bass sounds, utilizing twists of folksy-guitar before the lighter drop to create a unique track. 

“brighter days” follows, an exquisite masterpiece of infectious dance beats paired with Bipolar Sunshine‘s hopeful croons; it’s a song that captures the wistfulness of intrinsically and wholeheartedly wondering about the other person, and if they’ve thought about the past experiences you shared. In contrast, “always on my mind” with James Vincent McMorrow and Yvette Young is a more enigmatic take on wistfulness, but nevertheless, sinking listeners into the depths of a dream-like world. In continuation of mystic, dream-like takes on music, “go back in time” sends listeners back into a visceral emotive journey that is both hopeful and heart-aching. The packed vocal layers and eclectic synths almost seem like a lullaby, distinguishing itself from the rest of the tracks in its simple beauty.

Magical, “love (wip)” with Cassini is a dreamy track created with tapes and the scratchy pitch effects is proof of it. Its distinct raw sound, is warm and inviting, seemingly embodying the warmth of love. “voices in my head” with The Nicholas and “worthy”, also echoes this warmth, though with a higher tempo and intrepid drum beat – showcasing the intimacy and vulnerabilities within the lyrics.

“forever free” with Duskus also harnesses a lo-fi guitar melody and a violin outro, a song that exhibits San’s abilities as a producer while also emphasizing his love for organic instrumentals – once again, setting himself apart from others. The simple vocal chops indeed adds this sense of ‘freeness’ to the song, giving us a sentiment that everything is okay as long as we take it step by step – there’s no rush to fix it now. In his collaboration with Caspian in “surface”, San continues the warbly drawn out croons to weave another atmospheric love song. The ambient instrumentals, post-rock vibe heavily uses layered synths and guitar strumming to create heart-aching reverbs. 

Capping off the album, “vestal avenue” is a futuristic, space-y track reminiscent of classical music. The melodic drop makes way for an orchestral sounding piece, with sounds of birds flying by, dogs barking, buses hitting the brakes – a song that places us into the present, capturing the sounds of life and ending the album with a soothing peace of mind.

San spoke exclusively to Billboard about each track on album1, stating; “I wanted this album to introduce people to a new kind of sound. A warmer, organic, and less polished version of EDM.” San continues, “”show me” is a good example that represents this new sound. I recorded a lot of guitars on cassette tape, to give it that warm, warbly, lo-fi sound. You can clearly hear this in the guitar intro of the song. The beauty of recording actual instruments on tape is the fact that you can never record the same thing twice.”

San will embark on a 30+ date tour across North America, which kicks off on October 31st.
