Today's music recommendation: Rude by MAGIC πΆ
A rejected marriage proposal became one of the biggest hits of the decade!
Lead singer Nasri Atweh wrote Rude after asking his girlfriend's father for permission to marry her. The answer wasn't exactly the enthusiastic "yes" he had hoped for. Instead of arguing, he turned the experience into a song, imagining the frustration of being told no. π
The band's reggae inspired sound came from their love of Jamaican music, blended with modern pop. That mix helped Rude stand out on radio at a time when dance pop dominated the charts.
Released in 2013, the song started slowly before exploding worldwide in 2014. It reached No. 1 in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and several other countries, becoming one of the biggest songs of the decade.
Now guess what? despite the lyrics, Nasri eventually married the woman who inspired the song. Sometimes, real life really does get a happy ending.π₯Ή
Give it a listen and enjoy! π΅

You listen to these Roman Catholic bishops, and you hear the resoluteness they have to stand by the truth and their refusal to mortgage their souls to politicians,
Now you understand why APC had to rent fake bishops in 2022. Because no real bishop could endorse their madness.
Some old songs just hits you with intense nostalgia that it instantly takes you back to a specific time in your past. Backstreet Boys "My Love" is one of those songs for me.
Getting 2k verified users has been stressful because π boys and girls are fond of following just to unfollow.
Tomorrow, I may wake up to have fewer than 2k verified followers.
But for now, let me celebrate this approval while it lasts. π
