RE: A Penny for Your Songs (8) - Something...borrowed?
Type O Negative is sorta borrowed for me too :) I got into them just because someone else liked them...
I love 'Black' - why can't it be mine? It's just such a brilliant, visceral lyric.
The Leprous tune not really my style...maybe I'm just not feeling it today, who knows?
Right now, I'm in a Placebo frame of mind, it seems, and since you mentioned Bowie -
Hey, HD, thanks for the lovely comment :)
The song you posted sounds very tormented. I loved the lyrics, they had a really weird mixture of direct, straightforward lines and metaphorical, strangely familiar vibes. Placebo is one of those bands that I never really seem to be able to get into, even though every time I listen to something random I tend to like it very much.
This song sounds also very attuned to some poetry you've been posting lately...you still cultivating old feelings, with maybe some help from the early, melancholic autumn rains?
That part is my favorite too. But in hindsight, the person it was originally intended to, in my life, turned out to be a massive dodged bullet. This song taught me to wait before I judge how things turn out :)
That Leprous song is technically not my style either, but I just can't help it. Don't know why. I guess it's an earworm kind of thing.
Feel the same about Placebo :) Every time I listen to them, I really like their stuff, but they've never been one of my favorite bands somehow...
Thankfully, no rains here yet and I'd like to keep it that way :P Actually, it's quite difficult too. I find myself torn between my own emotional welfare and the thing I'm writing, which could really use some torment :))
It's so weird when that happens, isn't it? You're both thankful and sad at the same time...
So lucky. It's been raining non-stop for 2 days here...but to be honest, I kind of like the rain, even though summer is still my favorite season. I am against umbrellas too, unless I have somewhere formal to be.
Anyway, it's a well-known fact that art benefits from torment and pain, happy only gets you so far. But I'm glad you're ok all the same!
Anyway, I'll be sure to post something very gloomy over the next weeks, I'll try to help out the way I can ahahah
It is and it has happened to me, but not really in that particular case. I was very young, and as all young, nerdy, lonely males I tended to get attracted to whatever would give me enough attention. "Feelings" were not really "feelings", it was more about the wish for a life that felt complete. It's a common thing in adolescence, I think, and in my case I carry some of that old craving with me at all times, just to make sure I can still mess up my life with crazy ideas every now and then. But it does beat indifference, doesn't it?
You jinxed me :P It rained this morning...
I've always said that. I hate happy stories, happy-end movies disappoint me beyond anything. Sadness is so much more...full of potential.
Very relatable :)) It's a big mistake, one that might make you fuck up monumentally...oh well, you live and learn.
Every time. I would hate to be stuck in a dull life of nothing.
