This a song I picked up within my first month of teaching myself basic guitar. It’s almost in my range (in the key of G), it’s by my favorite artist, Vienna Teng, and it’s pretty easy to play, so it’s stuck around in my repertoire since November. And since we moved to our new house I’ve wanted to record something out on the balcony…I feel like a post-college musician in New York or something when I play out there.1
So in light of recent events, here’s my version of Vienna Teng’s “City Hall”.
A good translation of Park Bom’s “Don’t Cry”, available on a recent 2NE1 EP. This version is written by me and based on the literal translation from “SlaveTranslator@WeLoveDara / Winggers@DaraGon-Hideout.com”.

This is an afterword for a three-part story with a twist. You should read the story first if you haven’t yet!
So, like everything I write—like everything anybody writes—this story has elements of real experiences in it. The characters and relationships are composites of people I know, either firsthand or secondhand…but of course none of them are based entirely on any one real person or situation.
