Just Give Us a Reason

"Just Give Me a Reason" by P!nk (feat. Nate Ruess)

It was all started by someone who brought this song into my house. Let me begin. I usually have some friends staying over my house over the weekend. They are kak Deden, Baim, kak Dicky and sometimes Sabiq. They are all Indonesian students studying in Ankara, Turkey, the place where I also live. In my house, we usually stay in the living room. It is the most perfect place to go surfing on the Internet, as there is one big square table, which is supposed to be dining table, where we usually have our work done. Well, frankly, my house is just like Internet corner where we gather in the square table, which is close to the WiFi, have our laptops on and barely talk. Great! 

One day, kak Deden and Baim came over my house. We were busy doing our own stuff on our laptops in the living room. Since we got work to do, we managed to focus on what we were doing. We at times talked though. But, you know, this autistic thing happened. At one point, kak Deden broke the ice. He started talking about one song. He actually played the song on his büyük phone. But I did not really listen to it. So, I could not really enjoy the essence of it. 

When we were having our break time in the kitchen, we again started to talk about some songs. I asked kak Deden for some recommended songs. He suggested me the same song "Just Give Me a Reason". He seemed to manage to prove that I should listen to this song. He then played it on. You know what happened? I really enjoyed it. Hahaha. But I wasn't really affected much by the song. Then, we went back working in the living room. I was on YouTube and had my earphones on. I was so intrigued to listen to the song kak Deden recommended. I listened to it myself. Surprisingly, that's not only me who was doing that. Even Baim was also listening to the song (not with earphones though). I was like "Seriously, we are listening to this song.". Well, we all like it. 

Hold on, it doesn't stop there. Since that day, we've always had the song on whenever and wherever we get together. Even if we are not working on something, we still sing the song. On the bus, on the street, and all the places over my house. And anyway since we are so intense singing and listening to this song, such routinity even made my Dad whistle this song once. I think the song has stuck in his head too. Hahaha. I'm aware that it may seem exaggerated. I have no intention to promote the song though. I'm just trying to figure out 'how to give a reason'. But this togetherness of listening to this song apparently can never give a reason of why we (3) like listening to "Just Give Me a Reason" frequently.
