My Music

Music, I forgot how it could affect people. It is the only constant thing in my life. Things change people change. But music has given me company through thick and thin.
Like I listen to Unnamed feeling when I am depressed. I cannot think when Hetfield's vocals. It makes me realize that whatever I am obsessing about is not worth it. When I am happy I listen to Regina Spektor. She is one of those few female singers that I listen to, not that I am gender biased but when you are used to those heavy vocals you cant come back and listen to poppy stuff. But she has this perky happy-pill-haze voice.

And when I am too having the blazing blues I go to Anathema. It makes you laugh and cry at the same time. I cant express how I feel when I listen to them. I just forget about whats happening around me. Its like sitting in a deep dark room and you have only this music around you. Utter darkness and only this melancholic music that engulfs you.

The absolute essential Pink Floyd. Anywhere. Anytime. It just feels so serene. High hopes seems to be the song of the hour. The lyrics cannot get anymore apt. The songs are so overwhelmingly beautiful. And then there's Porcupine Tree. Coming close second after a huge tug-of-war with Opeth. I cant stop once I start rambling about music.

Its just that there are few and few people that like the same stuff that I do, I am kind of in a rut. So the other day I decided that I have to start something new and found Amelie's Sound track. I should say that this has been one of those lucky finds after so many mediocre songs. Yann Tierson is awesome. I guess I m having an inclination towards things French ( No offense N). Anyways so just after two days that I have started listening to the sound track, N called and she was like I found this awesome new french singer Tierson. I guess it is one of those coincidences you cant explain but that sure felt nice. And then she suggested this song Monochrome.

Sometimes you wonder how these guys come up with their lyrics. They are so apt. So perfect. Every emotion you feel is in that song. There are only a few songs whose lyrics are so out-of-this-world. I almost cried listening to the song. And I am not the crying sort. I never cry. But strangely music is one of those few things that can make me cry. I think I m becoming too sensitive to it. The last time it happened when I was listening to I am Mine.

I couldnt stop myself from posting the lyrics :)

Anyway, I can try
Anything it's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I'm tired now.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

I am pilling up some unread books under my bed
And I really think I'll never read again.

No concentration,
Just a white disorder
Everywhere around me,
You know I'm so tired now.

But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.
Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

Sometimes I search an event
Or something to remind,
But I've really got nothing in mind.

Sometimes I open the windows
And listen people walking in the down streets.
There is a life out there.

But don't be scared,
I found a good job and I go to work
Every day on my old bicycle you loved.

Anyway, I can try
Anything it's the same circle
That leads to nowhere and I'm tired now.

Anyway, I've lost my face,
My dignity, my look,
Everything is gone
And I'm tired now.

But don't worry
I often go to dinners and parties
With some old friends who care for me,
Take me back home and stay.

Monochrome floors, monochrome walls,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me.

Monochrome flat, monochrome life,
Only absence near me,
Nothing but silence around me
