I Will Try To Fix You

Glee, episode 3, season 3, "ASIAN F", they sang "Fix You" by Coldplay at the end of the show. The episode was pretty emotional. Moving in some ways but not moving enough for me, though. But yes, it is a sad episode. Mike Chang got an A- for his chemistry, in other words an "asian F". Lots n lots of pressure from his parents, til he even thought of quitting Glee. Then came along Tina, his asian girlfriend, giving her never ending support.

Three things:
ONE: That's how I want to be. No, I don't want to be Tina, but I want to be the girlfriend that gives her never ending support. Even though it's tearful, to see the one you live give up like that, but bear in mind, no one should give up so quickly. At one point, some point of your life, you will come back to your senses and you would wake up and realise you need what you need, and that can never be taken away from you. For instance, I need music. I need my piano. I need my life. I need to breathe. I have asthma, but hey, at the end of the day, I still gotta climb up those stairs. If not, I'll never get to the top. God won't take away what you need, and if He does, then that's not what you need anymore.

TWO: Getting an A-, we should be thankful, bersyukur, and not be miserable for the rest of your life. as a muslim, we should praise Allah for giving us such an opportunity. Will that opportunity be given again? We don't know. Will we really get an F in the future? Possible. But if we do, will we get up and go away, or get up and move up? Somehow, we will feel like getting up and going away. But later on, we just know that we should get up and get movin'. I need to climb the stairs. If I climb half way, I'll waste my time going back. All I need to do is to just keep climbing.. Even if it's VERY tiring.. Even if I have to stop a lot of times, just to catch my breath.

THREE: I love Coldplay. I don't think anyone can ever come up with a good cover. It's not that no one can cover the song. I'm sure loads of people can. But their songs are always JUST TOO GOOD. So unfortunately, I don't like Glee's version of Fix You.

I would say more, but I believe that, Fix You's lyrics will finish the post for me.

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Crazy ass, you know this one's for you. Keep moving forward

<3
