Music lovers, if you missed this short on the film festival circuit, you can now watch “Triangle” online. A girl named Chelsea waits for her turn to plays the triangle at the very end of a long symphony. Her whole life’s private moments, baited breath, and yearning, culminate in a moment. A visual tone poem bridging the narrative and lyrical, Triangle is writer-director Janice Ahn‘s meditation on women and waiting.

This NYU thesis film has already won Directors Guild of America Jury Award and First Run Festival Achievement in Experimental Form. Triangle directed by Janice Ahn

Rebound by Verseatile x Traphik

Rebound by Verseatile x Traphik

Rappers Verseatile x Traphik jointly released the track “Rebound.” This ones for the guys who have been the rebound guy and the ups and downs of being in that situation. Just when you think you’re getting close to a girl, she commits a personal foul thinking/talking about her ex. It’s a tough situation to be in. The single is catchy with that classic R&B vibe to it.

Lyrics to Rebound by Verseatile x Traphik

Hook:
I know that you’re just getting out and you’re tired of it,
you’ll be single for awhile
But every time we’re both hanging out, I get fired a bit,
I just want to make you smile
I know there’s something more between us, I’ll be Mars and you’ll be Venus,
can we get close, please don’t say no
Another case of the rebound

It started out with just a minimal friendship, I would see you out at the clubs, nothing romantic
we would dance in awhile, while we exchange smiles, even though I didn’t know you I was digging your style
we had finally grabbed dinner & drinks, talking for hours, and by the third date I was bringing you flowers
I know I must be trippin when I’m feelin this way, even my boys had caught me slippin for not wanting to play
but every single day I’m thinking about you, I don’t care what anybody else says, girl I’m glad that I found you
I met a lot of women in my lifetime, some inspired me to write rhymes, but never of the right kind
but every time I’m getting close, I feel you pushing back, you wanna be just friends but I ain’t cool with that
you tryna to tell me that your ex is an issue, guess I’ll wait for verse 2 & see the story continue

Hook:
I know that you’re just getting out and you’re tired of it,
you’ll be single for awhile
But every time we’re both hanging out, I get fired a bit,
I just want to make you smile
I know there’s something more between us, I’ll be Mars and you’ll be Venus,
can we get close, please don’t say no
Another case of the rebound

You had just broken up with him the time that we met, and since you didn’t really know me, didn’t share with me yet
I understand, it ain’t my business you just do what you gotta do, but I ain’t gonna lie I’mma be bothered if he bothers you
emotional roller coasters you had been riding, losing that special person in your life that you would confide in
feels like all the time & effort invested, down the drain, swallowing your pride but couldn’t digest it, now the pain
you’re single and you’re starting fresh, ready to mingle, but when you meet the right guy, is it that simple
so now I realize you ain’t wanting something serious, cuz Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, period
I ain’t tryna to be the rebound, see how, we came together without planning, freestyle
please take a chance on me, I promise you magic, bump this in your ride and think of me while sitting through tra(phik)

Find you again by Samuel Geunjin Kang

Lyrics to Find you again by Samuel Geunjin Kang

You know that I’ll be your friend
There isn’t ever the time
When I would leave you alone
For you to fight for yourself
Know I’m running with haste
I’ll go and run to your side
Cause whatever it takes
You don’t have to fight

(Chorus)
Alone in the darkness
Wherever you are
I’m on my way
To find you again
You could be lost, lonely
There’s nothing too far
Where I won’t go
To find you again

Take your feet off the road
Go as far as you’d like
Cause there’s nothing I know that can hold your light
There’s no corner too far
Not even oceans too deep
To stop who you are and what you’re doing for me

(Chorus)

You know that I’ll be your friend
Cause there is never the time
That I would leave you alone
For you to fight
