It's been awhile?

*listening to the sounds of Good Charlotte ~ The Anthem *

It truly has been awhile!

I haven't like posted in 9 days... which reminds me of that song
Absolutely (The Story of A Girl) by Nine Days, pretty good song and so was their second one If I Am, but nothing really came of that band, it's sad when there are people all over the world who just don't and in some cases can't and won't appreciate good music, for example there's my dad...

Whenever I play Open Your Eyes ~ Alter Bridge he'll go, turn that tin pan rubbish off and his hand will instinctively reach for the volume control even though the song's barely a whisper, and it's the same for so many of the songs our generation, I figure old people don't know how to listen to the words of the songs that we're producing today,

If you'd ever listened to an oldie you'd find that they generally have very little consequential meaning, the basic oldie is about things like summer, love, and rain. Which is very unlike the music of today, where so many songs are extremely political, some are filled with despair, others filled with hope, some detest love and others embrace it wholly, the songs of today reflect the hearts of people,

However when I say songs, I’m not counting stuff like pop, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake just to name a few couldn’t write about anything intelligent even if they expired every cell in their, for a lack of a better word “brain”, she’s to busy “Doin somethin” to do much else, its either that or she’s running around half naked and getting pregnant before being married. And he’s too busy trying to get girls naked in his songs (fat chance Richard Cranium).

No, no, pop is definitely not even a form of music; it’s more like a hybrid form of frenzy inducing noise. If only the forefathers of music could hear what these pop fellows are doing to their music I think they’d turn over in their graves. I pity the masses so suckered into pop music, it so bad that sometimes I think it borders on the imbecilic, and it would be extremely laughable save for the numbers so sadly entrenched in the faux music that is pop.

You want music that means something, bands like U2, The Gun & Roses, Metallica, Staind, Lifehouse, Planet Shakers, musicians like Alanis Morrisette, Norah Jones, just to name a few. These are people of quality, not quantity.

Change the music you listen to before it’s too late…
