Apocalypse theme song

 I have a new song that I've been obsessing lately: Sign of the Times by Harry Styles.

It was the song in the movie Project Hail Mary which the lady-boss character, Eva Stratt, sang in the karaoke party at NASA. The actress who played this character, Sandra Hüller, really did well in portraying this character. Even more, she was the one who chose this song. Of course, I'd give credit to Ryan Gosling too who had the idea to add this karaoke scene in the movie (it wasn't in the script). I mean, if the world was coming to an end and you were the last hope of saving it, there's nothing scarier than that so if I was in that circumstance, I definitely would indeed go sing my heart out on karaoke in public even if it is one of my greatest fears (as I tell people, I'd chose public speaking anytime over singing solo in public).

Since I am in the GenX-Millenial generation, my favourite songs have mostly been from my teenage to early adulthood years, so that's about the late 90s to early 2000s. After moving to Winterpeg twelve years ago, my exposure to current music has pretty much become limited, add that I was raising a child so my music repertoire were all about kids' shows (Paw Patrol and Barney theme songs, hello?). Anyways, there had been one song here and there from the past decade that struck me, but more from artists my generation. Last year though, I have started to open up myself to listening to music from artists whom I could have given birth to. I actually thought this song was an older song until I looked it up and realized it was an original by Harry Styles. Well, ok he might not be young enough to be my son by social standards since I am only 15 years older than him but technically I could already get pregnant at that age, lol.

Ok so, yes, I have been playing this song over and over again for the past week already. I'm looking forward to discovering and falling in love to more songs. Thank you to songwriters who still write meaningful and poetic songs instead of all those trashy songs that are so superficial and nonsensical.
