My beloved
Well,i have been a music-addict since i was a dwarf. There is some strange connection between my emotinal live and the music i'm listening to everytime. When i where 1-13 i mostly listened to heavy and thrash metal,feeling bad about my self and angry at the world. Later on i noticed that those lyrics where about my wiew of live even though i did'nt understand most of the language. James of Metallica was singing about his self-pity attitude in some songs and in others about drugs and anger. Slayer where always there to make me feel how sick this society is and that all i can do is to squeese the most of it with aggression. Later on i listened mostly to chill music such as Portishead,Tricky and massive attack. Paranoia was eating me up and all i did was put some pot on it to make it grow.
about 6 years ago i began to listen to that ''post-rock'' such as Sigur Rós(which totally changed my live),Godspeed you black emperor! and Mogwai. In these kind of bands there is a ease and comfort with alot of dark and angelic feel. The lyrics there are mostly none but the music remains and the experiences i've had with them are great. My favorate last 3 years or so is Will Oldham although i can't say that he is better than anyone but he is the one who i'we listened to alot(along with The White Stripes and Tom Waits and Nick Cave). I went to a consert with him after he made his ease down the road album where he was alone with his guitar in a small pub in the center of reykjavik,it was awesome. If you don't like country but you like alkind of alternative music then he is the man for you. Do yourself a favor and idolise him.

Isn't it amazing how all forms of art speak to our senses and we relate those messages to our lives. Entwined are we with all the words, pictures, sounds and scents that it often becomes difficult to imagine a time without all those precious pieces that make up our memories - both good and bad. |
