Happy Tuesday! Joining the #TTT or #ThreeTuneTuesday🤘🏻, thanks to @ablaze for coming up with this amazing idea.
I've been jamming to Olivia Rodrigo's songs to get ready for the GUTS Tour concert. I'm gonna see her live on October 5th!
When I heard Olivia's bringing her GUTS Tour to Manila (and that tickets were only Php 1,500 or $26!) with all the proceeds going to charity, I knew I had to be there. I woke up early last Saturday to grab those tickets. Guess what? I GOT THEM! 😭🥹 What makes it even more special is that this is her first concert here in the Philippines!
So, here are some songs from Olivia's GUTS album that I’m dying to hear live:
🎶 The Grudge
How could anybody do the things you did so easily?
And I say I don't care, I say that I'm fine
But you know I can't let it go
I've tried, I've tried, I've tried for so long
It takes strength to forgive, but I don't feel strong
This one hits different. It's the type of song that makes you want to sing at the top of your lungs, filled with angst and unfiltered emotions. What really gets me is the build-up then everything cuts to just her vocals 🫶🏼 It’s haunting, especially with the line, "But even after all this, you're still everything to me." That one hurts.
🎶 Bad Idea right?
Can't hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
Should probably not
I should probably, probably not
I should probably, probably not
Seein' you tonight, it's a bad idea, right?
This song is insane and chaotic, in an amazing way! It’s a mix of fun and messiness. This song totally captures the vibe of the GUTS album, like when you know you're making a bad decision, but did it anyway. It's fun to sing along to this one!
🎶 Vampire
But you make the worst one look fine
I should've known it was strange
You only come out at night
I used to think I was smart
But you made me look so naive
The way you sold me for parts
As you sunk your teeth into me, oh
Bloodsucker, famefucker
Bleedin' me dry, like a goddamn vampire
This one’s all over TikTok! Every line hits deep, with this slow, reflective start that builds up to the bridge that makes you want to screa. It's as if someone punched you in the gut. You can’t help but feel everything when the beat drops. Love this one!
