can't we give ourselves one more chance?

[sideways]

There's something fun about discovering classics late in your life and getting to enjoy them like they're something new.

Under Pressure has been dominating my earworm space of late. Feels like a great theme for 2020, and also shines nicely in this music video for The Martian.

Love that song, and love the idea of it as a theme for 2020.

I enjoyed the music video! Now I'm feeling a little teary-eyed and hopeful from it.

"This is our last dance / this is ourselves under pressure" has the potential to be either hopeful or deeply melancholy... I'm still rooting for the hopeful side.

Listening to it while watching The Martian vid helped put me on the hopeful side. But the last part is just -- too relevant right now. "Why can't we give love that one more chance? / Why can't we give love ... "

Love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night; and love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves...

TT-TT

Their answer is so good, it's too much ;_;

Also, can I ask what moniker you use? c: Unavee, or something else?

[unavee]

Haha, I don't really have a chosen one. Unavee works!

Do you prefer being addressed as Winger?

[sideways]

Yes, Winger's an old staple. The rotating icons unfortunately make it easy to mix people up so I'm trying to lock some solid identities in my head, ahah.
