"their big dream.": a song related to Nakba!!

 Hello, I'm BluePuffin!!

 Today I’m going to share a poem/song, no song recommendations, sorry. Probably Li Beirut, but for this time, the focus is on my poem/song.

their big dream.🫒

they grew olive

by the dear river

looked for knowledge

it hurts, my liver

no food, it's sadness

sorrowful story

lies no forgetness

under their lost glory

their big dream, still remains

to let live and to just live

they won't ever budge to leave

Nakba still gives pains

i won't budge with your reasons

under these ruined seasons

my home burns metaphorically

while Gaza suffers literally

"no pains no gains"

what a lie

their food's off, and soon's july

"you lie, you lie"

don't say that!

as you chill inside your flat

or house, with no fear to die

their big dream, still remains

to let live and to just live

we won't ever budge to leave

Nakba still gives pains

through the starving days,

Nakba still gives pains,

to their lives, their wives, their everydays!

through inhumane silence,

we see the violence,

we believe that they shall live.

oh ah, oh ah

(shalom, salam, lam. shalom, salam, lam.)

ah ah...

but oh well, oh well, oh well.

oh well.

their big dream

still remains

to let live and to just live

we won't ever budge to leave

Nakba still.. stains.

 Written today, by me, BluePuffin, Friday May 16. Yesterday was Nakba Day, and this is my way of remembering it. Nakba was when about 750 thousand Palestinians were displaced in 1948, with many of their villages destroyed. Nakba made Israel become a country possible. They aren't able to return to their houses or towns, even now, hence how Nakba still stains the present of injustice. I later changed the lyric "pitiful story" to "sorrowful story". I think I can share the emotional depth more clearly that way, without sounding like I'm seeing anyone as weak. The Palestinians may be anything, but they're not weak. So much years and so much suffering, and they're still here. 

 I made this because the few Palestinian songs I know aren't calm enough for me. I normally can't handle really moved lyrics. Therefore, I made it a bit calmer, but still revealing for those willing to care.
 Below is a raw singing audio. Sadly, it still has the wrong lyric there.
 Not polished, but at least I have a melody.

blackout at my birthday + objectification = blog returning?

 Hello, I'm BluePuffin!! This entry is me returning. No promises this time. I already have an entry prepared for next friday, and since i couldn't post this friday, i'll post today. Thank you!!

 today is 4th of may. ill recommend 2 songs and talk about my birthday, and relating it to Gaza and i know what you're thinking, but you'll see how it makes sense later on.

songs of the week🎶

 One of the songs, the one called Thérèse, by Maya Hawke, really touched me. I heard it many times nonchalantly as a background song in TikTok or Insta vids, but only today I found out what it really means. It refers to this painting, called Thérèse Dreaming.

 I don't understand quite well why THIS drawing, probably because some may see it as voyeuristic or sexually appealing. Maya Hawke made a music video where the woman body was shown naked, but as bodies, not sexual objects. The chorus refers to Thérèse as not belonging to whoever the song was dedicated to, though saying the cars and horses and cowboys do. The song also says, simply "She's just Thérèse.". This song may be hard to interpretate, but I simply see it as Maya saying "women are merely women, not something to be immediately seen as sexual". I couldn't agree more. It may be hard to objectify, specially with the porn culture, but I promise that you'll feel much better when you start seeing every human as a human and not as a sexual object.

hello nah

is it too late to say im sorry

also i broke my own promise

welp. ive been busy making an mv

Um, im back?

 Hello, I'm BluePuffin! 

 I’ve been throwing my blog under the doormat for quite a while now. U know, school… But i gotta share stuff with u peeps! My goal is that, for at least 8 weeks straight, to share with you guys one or 2 songs, a poem (small or not), ask you guys to sign some petition or take action, 

and anything else i want to tell ya! Well, I hope I’m in time. Here is the song recommendation:

Beaches by beabadoobee is a song I found out about fairly recently. I'm writing this on Sunday February 23rd 2025, I found about the song like... yesterday. There has been some drama related to beabadoobee and a meme video made about her and the background music on a video about it was this. For me, its meaning, what it simbolizes to me, is not only being in the right place where you feel you belong ("days blend to one when you're on the right beaches") but also about gathering the courage to do something, and doing it. I also feel like it's about the fear in doing something, but somehow also her asking us to not be afraid to do something: "don't wait for the tide just to dip both your feet in". 

Oop

 Hello, I'm BluePuffin!!

 Today I’m going to share a poem i wrote.

 I've been getting into watercolors and watercolorable pencils lately. Pretty cool. Also, loom bands are too expensive so that hobby is kind of being disposed of...

november summer

it's the twenty fifth

ask me if i'm gay,

i'll plead the fifth

and that's okay

it's fifteen degrees

need speaking sprees

need i ready a Christmas tree?

will that bring me world peace

the sun shines bright

so bright, so bright and so bright

so bright you can see it, you know

you know how the world is at a time low

record for violent peace to sow?

it's twenty fifth,

i'm in the same outfit

pants, a shirt and all

not different at all

but different from all

but the same to all

midday is just hot

warm, or a bit not

written november 25.

Bye, i guess.

The Zone of Interest: dehumanisation and silence

 Hello, I'm BluePuffin!!

 well, hasn't this blog been crickets for a while now? I guess I could just keep writing here like i never stopped. Sorry yall! I've been "busy" i guess. Or i've just left this behind... But, oh well, I'm back! A lot has changed, but everything is the same. Voici, the song recommendations!

 I'll talk about a haunting movie related to the Holocaust called "The Zone of Interest" and share a poem that will make you uncomfortable, but in a good way. 

 A song recommendation, though unrelated to what we'll talk about:

 I also recommend the song "Casual" by the queen Chappel Roan.

 Get your popcorns ready because this will be a loooong entry, which might take you at least 10 minutes to read, 7 minutes for watching the videos (if you feel like watching them) and as much time as needed to reflect. This post discusses genocide and dehumanization.

Content Warning:

Consider reading at another time if you're reading this after 8pm or want to avoid being emotionally impacted for a bit.
