10 Songs That Perfectly Encapsulate How The Haze Is Making Us All Feel
No airrr, no airrr!
By Hew Lee Yee
If there's one thing that we can count on to happen in Malaysia every year, it is that we will always get a not-so-nice visit from haze without fail
As we look out the window, everything we see is devoid of vibrancy. We'll have to make do with low-res, low-saturated, almost-too-blurry photos.
To accompany the solemn mood of the atmosphere, here are some songs you can listen to in your room with all the doors and windows shut tightly:
1. The Air I Breathe - Air Supply
Key lyrics:
Sometimes, all I need is the air that I breathe
And to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
Yes to love you
All I need is the air that I breathe
2. Toxic - Britney Spears
Key lyrics:You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
3. We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel
Key lyrics:
We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
Since the world's been turning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it
WE CANNOT GET OVER HOW SPOT ON THE LYRICS ARE!
4. Hijau - Zainal Abidin
Key lyrics:
Bumi yang tiada rimba
Seumpama hamba
Dia dicemar manusia
Yang jahil ketawa
Bumi yang tiada udara
Bagai tiada nyawa
Pasti hilang suatu hari
Tanpa disedari
5. Harder To Breathe - Maroon 5
Key lyrics:
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there
cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
6. Oxygen Mask - Eisley
Key lyrics:
You're a vision of truth
And that's what I love
Give me one more chance
You've got me breathing
Through an oxygen mask
Give me one more chance
7. Breathe Again - Sara Bareilles
Key lyrics:
All I have, all I need, he's the air I would kill to breathe
Holds my love in his hands
still I'm searching for something
Out of breath, I am left hoping someday I'll breathe again
I'll breathe again
8. Smoke Gets In Your Eyes - The Platters
Key lyrics:
Now laughing friends deride
Tears I cannot hide
So I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
9. No Air (feat. Chris Brown) - Jordin Sparks
Meet Igor, the handsome eagle that has been circling around the SAYS office for the past week!

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
10. Blurry - Puddle Of Mudd
Key lyrics:
Everything's so blurry
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Also, Spotify actually beat us to this and have already made a playlist called "Hazed & Confused". Enjoy!
