MUSIC!!!!
So, my Girl Talk cd came in and I am so excited. I am like dancing inside and outside cause it playing super loud on my laptop. Anyway, that wasn't the reason I wanted to write.
This past couple of weeks have been crazy...but only because I am desperate for drama. I am tired of this quiet life and everything that comes with it. So desperate that I have made moments and things have more meaning than it actually does or should. I have given myself crushes over guys that I shouldn't...because I wanted something. I wanted to be like everyone else. But this guy...he isn't my type. He isn't artsy. He isn't tall. He isn't someone that I could have a really deep conversation with. Plus, he is excited about all these movies that are coming out. These bad superhero movies. And while I wept for the state of the movie industry, he smiled, and I realized that I don't like him. I can't. I have a crush on the idea of him. I have just been settling. Guys are different here. They aren't the kind in D.C. The ones that would make immature, stupid, comments and then turn around and actually have an intellectual conversation. The guys that would get smashed and high with you the night before and then would love to go to Starbucks the next day and talk and listen to music. I miss that. And it makes me miss home. Terribly. But this wasn't the reason I wanted to write either.
I was looking at some application on Facebook and it made me happy all of a sudden. It was like your Favorite Music Moments and your favorite Musical moments, and your favorite movie moments. And it really struck a cord with me. Cause I thought back to those moments and it made me so happy so I thought I would list them. And whenever I get sad, or lonely, or depressed I would list one of those moments (I have so many) and then I would cheer up...just a little bit.
Favorite Music Moment:
The moment in Local H's Bound for the Floor, when he repeats the line "You just don't get it. You keep it copasetic..." and he keeps repeating it and then it crescendos and he starts to scream it. The last words he says "and you don't..." Amazing. Such release. I feel like I am going through it with him.
The moment that the guitar kicks in in Bush's The Chemicals Between Us. No words just silence and than that hard strum of the guitar. And its repeated over and over all through the song. But that first one. It makes you feel like there is something amazing about to happen. That riff is so good.
Bloc Party's She's Hearing Voices. Such a good song. It starts out so chaotic. But the second time he chants "Red Pill, Blue Pill" and the bass and guitars are doing this duet. Its so dancey. The guitar has been absent for a large part of the song before that and then its there in full force. Its this build up and then all of sudden there is this organization and then it gets chaotic and noisy again. Perfection.
Radiohead's Sit Down, Stand Up (Snakes and Ladders) from Hail to the Thief. The song builds up to this crescendo. He is basically repeating the same lines over and over. And layers and layers are being added on top of him. And its that moment where it reaches this great peak and then all of a sudden the song dissolves into the electronic break. It so amazing. And I actually can imagine the rain falling around me...which is what he chants over and over
The last one for tonight...
AFI's Death of Seasons. There is the moment after the first chorus in which it breaks in techno. Its unexpected and completely and utterly the SHIT. It lasts for all of 12 seconds and yet I will listen to the song...and fast forward to that part. Just that part. Who knew they would become such emo, over dramatic....sigh
This was long...but writing it made me happy so i am ok with that. If you actually made it to the end, then props. Post some of your favorite Music/TV/Musical/Movie Moments. I am totally interested...for serious.
