Introduction
Alex O'Connor, or better called Rex Orange County, is a British singer and songwriter, who taught me that music reflects more than you can believe, and that it is not enough to listen to a good melody, if not feel it, and understand it.
I have not come to tell you about his biography, or the incredible artist that he is, what he has achieved or how much money he has made.
I come to talk to you about how my life changed, and how each song reflects something in me, how my love for music started, and how it continues to inspire me every day to continue fighting for my dreams, and how unlike others feel that "sad music" makes you feel worse, they are totally wrong
Rex Orange County - Sunflower
This was the first song I heard and with which everything started, it was really inspiring, in one of the most difficult moments of my life, I don't talk much, and I was going through that stage of "University", I was almost alone, But that did not take away from the fact that I helped others, by that time the relationship with my ex-girlfriend had ended, and everything was somewhat more "difficult", but listening to this song at night while I was doing my homework and preparing my exhibitions was really comforting, more than anything because it was the beginning to start loving music
Rex Orange County - Best Friend
This song takes me back to that time, where I had a "best friend", the truth is that now I'm not in that, I have friends, and well, not so much like that, but they are people I trust, and they have come to gain my trust, But there was a time when I had an unconditional friend, she is always there, if something happened, I was there, if she needed me I was always there, it was an incredible friendship, and more than anything that lasted for years, regardless of the years, but it ended damaging by third parties, and nothing else could be done to overcome, I still appreciate that friendship a lot, I still value that person, and I wish him the best, but this song helped me to overcome it and understand a little more, that friendships are worth a lot
Rex Orange County - Happiness
This being the last song, it reminds me and I think it will remind you so much of that "first love", or that "impossible love", I met someone, and I never understood that I liked her, we were totally different, no one wanted to love each other, but I liked how curious she was, and as from a song she got thousands more, but due to complications, and due to the lack of communication, we could never be honest, with each other, but this song reminds me how difficult it was for her, show me his few feelings, and try to show me that we are not or I am the only one who finds it difficult to say what he feels, and that despite that, every day we understand people less and talk more, without knowing
Finally
This is a small part of me, and how music has managed to overcome small parts of my life, not only in the University, but also in my personal life, and love, I share this small part of my life for you. They come to feel the same as me, and if this incredible artist transmits something to them, I wish them the best and a big hug, see you soon, in the next post 👋
