So this is fun!
I got tagged by likeanaccidentx, so I’m doing this now:
Five bands [note: they don't have to be your 'favorite'] and what they mean to you, what they make you think of, what they make you feel, etc.
Mando Diao
I guess this on is not really a surprise, hm? I loved this band the moment I listened to their first album a couple of weeks after its release in 2002. They became my fav band instantly and I’m sure they’ll always be! Every time I sing along to any of their songs my heart is completely in it!
I know it sounds stupid but they encouraged me to break up with Martin and I think this was the only good decision I’ve ever made concerning relationships. When things started to get bad with Robert, “Don’t tell me this dream is over” was the only song I listened to for an entire month. It fitted perfectly, word for word.
I can link almost every song to a specific event, it was always one of their CD’s we’d listen to when we had finished school the summer two years ago. All the crazy parties we had on an almost daily basis, the afternoons we spent at the lake, the crazy guitar-crashing and breaking-my-ankle action while imitating Björn in “Down in the past” (lmao, best night ever).
They’ve been the first rock band I’ve seen at a show and they were the only reason Amanda and me did this fucking crazy road trip to the Highfield Festival in 2006. We talked about going there one night and the next morning, we just left. No tickets, no tent, no food, no directions, hardly any gas and it was just awesome, nothing compares to their shows!
Incubus
All I can say to Incubus is that I’m impressed beyond words by Brandon Boyd, have been since I listened to their very first songs. They are the kind of band that transports so much hope through their songs and I think they made me figure out some stuff way faster than it would have taken me without them. Incubus is one of the few famous “mainstream” bands I actually take seriously because I find everything they have to say incredibly interesting and captivating.
Brand New
I saw Brand New back in 2006 at the Highfield Festival and was instantly blown away by Jesse’s presence. I can’t find words to describe it and I’m not sure they even exist. Never, in my whole life have I seen something more emotional and there was this deep connection between the band and the words they sung - it was beautiful to see just how much they love their music, it was as if they were completely lost in it. Jesse is one of those persons who have this special charisma - he’s definitely one of the few famous people I’m looking up to.
I’m not going to go into their music, they just voice exactly what I’m feeling/felt - better than I could ever explain it myself.
The Format
I can’t explain why I picked them, I can’t relate any events to them and I’ve first listened to them only two weeks ago maybe? likeanaccidentx mentioned them some time ago and then Jessi did, too and she also let me listen to “Snails” and since then, I’m completely captivated by their music. Listening to them just makes me feel very very happy for some reason :]
The Doors
Oh God, I don’t know what to say to them. When I started listening to them, it felt like I was finally starting to grow up? I love their lyrics and the way you can interpret so much into them, I love all the instrumental effects in their songs and I just adore how rare and honest their songs are. Each song tells such a deep and interesting story, most artful music I know, hands down!
When Max, Jüne and I had our regular hanging-out session in my room, we’d always listen to “Alabama song” or any other of their songs while getting stoned. We used to discuss their lyrics and Jim’s life for nights and I wish we’d still do it. I haven’t hang out with Max for at least half a year now, not since he’s started to take so much shit and was in hospital because of his heart attack.
The Doors remind me of the nights the three of us were still good friends and none of us was on the verge of dying but too fucked up to even realize it. It makes me really sad. Especially since it's so ironic, with us mourning Jim's death and a few weeks later, Max goes and does exactly the same.
Gosh, I don’t know who to tag! I’d really like to see this in a lot of journals because I find it wicked interesting! So whoever wants to do it, I’ll be exciting to read it!
Uhm, any ways. I randomly tag gerardlover77, ate_my_brain, no_apologies_86, shygirlswinmore and yes_to_slash.
You don’t have to do it if you don’t feel like it, obviously.
