Chasing Rubies

Chasing Rubies & Left Alone

I really love both of these songs and i loves the artists who make them it took me a while to figure out which one I would do but in the end CHASING RUBIES won the battle. Chasing Rubies is such a good song. It's about a boy who has only known this girl for a short period of time but he likes her a lot and doesn't want to loose her. Unlike other songs with general it isn't cheesy or super generic, like all HarryandAlfie songs its really original. It doesn't have any auto-tune or that ripply thing that makes the person say the same thing over and over again. Its lyrics are really well thought out and understandable my favorite line might be the one where he's starting to wonder about the girl's felling and says "what if she doesn't like me, what I'm being naive"I mean really haven't we all thought this before. The only instrument they use in the song is a guitar which I really like a lot because 1. It looks cool 2. It sounds cool and 3. It gives the song a really genuine, homey feeling. Harry rarely sings solos in their song but he does have an amazing voice and if you really listen hard you can hear the uniqueness of it when he sings back up in Chasing Rubies. I love HarryandAlfie and I love this song, it might me a really good song or I could be blinded by the fact that they are IRISH and Alfie is super duper cute. You decide.

Winter's poem

I don't like you winter
You take away my long days and short shorts and leave me in the dark with heavy coats
You take away my popsicles and freedom and give me bitterness and a jail cell instead
Really winter and you wonder why I don't like you.
Do you want to know the worst thing about you winter?
I mean do you really want to know?
It's not that you slap with your harsh wind when ever I go outside, or that you freeze my bones with just one thought of you.
It's not even that you beat me with your iron fists everyday
It's that no matter how much I scream at you and tell you to leave  you come back EVERY YEAR like clockwork
And every year you outstay your welcome
But boy are you beautiful, what a body you have
Even though you're a dungeon you drop heaven almost everyday
Even though you're cold hearted I swear you can be the nicest thing ever
You let me skate on your glassy eyes
Play in your thick white hair and brush it any way I want it.
You wrap the most beautiful city in your arms and somehow make it magic.
You breathe your cold breath on it and fog it with sweetness
I don't like you Winter.
I love you :)

HOLDEN

Honestly I don’t blame the kids at Pencey for not liking Holden; he appears to be a terrible person. I don’t see how he even had friends in the first place he always had something bad to say and doesn’t seem very friendly. But that’s the thing he only appears to be a very rude and mean but underneath you can tell that he isn’t. If you actually look at his thought you can that he’s just troubled. And that’s what I think this entire book is about, not about how Holden is this terrible person who doesn’t like anyone. I think it’s about how a boy is dealing with all the changes in his life. We get all upset about him calling people phony all the time we can’t really because I don’t think he even knows the difference anymore. He’s not a bad guy he just has issues. He’s doesn’t know how to move on and face the future so instead he just says it’s not real. He acts like a child we all see that we, we all know but that’s his way of getting through it. Holden’s been depressed for a really long time and he know that he’s not happy anymore, which is why I think we still acts like a kid. Think about it. When were the happiest times of his life? The happiest time was when he was a kid, before his brother Allie died, before D.B moved away, before he had a care in the world. Acting like a kid is his way of being in those times again, this is his way of grieving.
