(no subject)
These questions have been recently asked of us...and I really wanted to answer but I didn't dare answer as a "response", so I thought I'd make a completly new post...because it's really fuckin' long!
1.Who is your favorite musician and why?
Dimebag Darrel (It said musician, not band) hands down. Not only was the man a phenomenal musician, But he also had a heart, passion, love, a drive. He was a very big person in a very small frame. And yes I'd say these things even if he were alive today
2. What are your top five favorite songs lyrically?
(1) Bleed By Cold, this song gives a perfect reason of why I need music, and why I have such a love for it
(2) Fade To Black by Metallica. Metallica wrote this song shortly after all their equipment was stolen. It expresses deep depression and will to no longer live, and I feel that this came about because they really didn't think that they could continue without their instruments, they could no longer bleed. How can you not respect that?
(3) Happy? by Mudvayne. This song is a recent installment to this list. To me, this song is about self reflection. It's about have a nice long talk with yourself, and putting yourself in check. Am I happy with this situation? Am I happy with what I do? Am I happy with what I did today? Am I happy with who I am and who I'm becoming? It took me a few listens to get this because the question "Are you happy" is raised several times in the song, but it never says: Are you happy about "_____" because it was intended for the listener to ask them self that, and put it where applicable. And I didn't get that until I remembered the 1st few words: "In this hole, that is me" ...and later "Tear me from myself, tear me from the bone, Are you feeling happy now?" It really is about picking yourself apart and putting yourself in check.
(4) Mamma Said by Metallica. Growing up I took my mother for granted. I took my family for granted. I loved and "respected" her/them but I didn't ever really think about how much she has done for me, and how she has been there, every second of my life. I just didn't understand these things. This song came out around the same time that I lost my great aunt "Granny" and it didn't really hit me until that happened. James (Hetfield, vocals) lost his mother to cancer when he was 13. And he loved and cared for his mother, but he didn't completely understand who she was to him, until she was gone. I swore to myself that I would never be that person. This song is kinda James' ode to his mother, as it is mine.
(5) We'll Grind That Axe for a long long time by Pantera. With phrases like "Never turned our backs on why we're here", "Through the worst we still marched into hell" , "Every fucking song remains the same, to everyone who sucks up for the fame, out of strength you know we speak the truth, every trend that dies is living proof" -This song to me is about integrity.
