I really am not obsessed.
I really am not OBSESSED with The Killers, despite what many of you may think. They've just really become a very special band to me. Right now they're my favorite band. Their music is just really amazing. I can't even describe it in words how amazing their music is. The words Brandon Flowers sings are just brilliant. The way that Flowers sings those words amazingly with such passion like it's coming from deep within rather than just singing it well enough to be presentable is just amazing and admirable. Then you take the music that the band plays and add it together with the already amazing sound of Flowers singing, and you have something really beautiful. It's music that you not only listen to, but you can feel it as well.
At least that's what it is to me. And it may sound really lame, but I love when a band can make you FEEL their music. When it reaches right down into your soul and grabs it and doesn't let go and all you can say is "wow".
It is very rare that I'll find a band who has even one album that I can listen to on loop for days on end. But the Killers have THREE albums that I could listen to on loop for days on end. To me, they're just that good. That doesn't mean that I'm obsessed with them. I don't ACTUALLY dream of running away and marrying every member of The Killers. That's just crazy and creepy. Yes, they are handsome men. I'm sure they're also good people. It'd be awesome to meet them sometime, and even more interesting to have conversation with them. But if I saw them in public i wouldn't flip some creepy shit on them and run up to them screaming "OMG YOU'RE THE KILLERS LIEK OMG MAKE LOVE TO ME!!! SIGN MY TIT!!!". No, I'd be calm about it. Casual. tell them about how they inspire me and what not.
OBSESSED people make really creepy montages with even creepier music (usually some kind of love song in dedication to the band) on youtube that serve absolutely no artistic purpose and are purely there to glorify the band as if they were some kind of sex gods or something. I think that montages are stupid and creepy unless they're there to commemorate/portray some kind of experience/occasion in your life, or something personal like that.
OBSESSED people have like 5 billion pictures of the band on their computer and in their rooms with over half of them probably consisting solely of Brandon Flowers because they don't actually care about the music so much as they care about Brandon's pretty face. The only pictures I have are the ones inside the liner notes. And I could care less about what they look like, because as I stated earlier, it is the music that I'm in love with.
OBSESSED people talk about almost nothing BUT whatever they're obsessed with. I definitely have more to say than "oh my god, and then i was listening to the killers" or "Oh my god the killers have this one song" etc etc
So to make a long story short, I am not obsessed, I'm just excited to have found a favorite band. So get off of my back about how I'm obsessed. Because I'm not.
But anyway. They're inspiring. I've been singing a lot again lately and it's been making me want to start working on music again. I've kind of always wanted to be in a band or something along those lines, but I don't know exactly what style I want to go for. There are genres of music that I enjoy, I just wouldn't be able to do them because I just don't feel like they fit me. I definitely don't want to do pop. I know that I want to sing. I want to do something amazing though. I want to BE one of those kinds of musicians that I just made a rant about feeling the music. That is what I want. I just don't know enough about music to compose it. I mean yeah, I wrote a song and all, but to me it's not AMAZING. The words aren't cleverly written. I want to compose something that is straight up MASTERPIECE. lol.
And I wish I could write better. I've been trying to work on that lately though.Perhaps one day. I mean singing is something that I've wanted to do ever since I was little.
Anyway, this has been a fun little rant. I must be going, as we have a critique on our photographs in the morning at 8AM SHARP. 4 hours of sitting in a chair listening to reasons why certain photographs "aren't good" enough for everyone to pass. BUT it's the last day of the quarter so WOOHOO...hope I passed...or I'm screwed.
