Tonight I did something that I haven’t done in a loong time, I actually listened to music. Not just putting it on while focusing on something else no, really listened to music. Started while I was talking to Mirja and she sent me a link for a song that felt strong to her, well it did. But it got me scouring my mobile for some songs more in my category of music (the hard one) and I found some, but it didn’t start there.
The strongest memory of any album I have is from Slipknot Vol. 3 Sublimal Verses. It’s a wonderfull album in comparasing to their last abberation which had one good song. I remember recording this album over to my MD Player which I had borrowed from my girlfriend (I also remember getting scolded because I’d taped over her Michel Jacksson album), I had that disc in for months, it was about the only music that I listened to at all for the time.
It had much anger and the moving lyrics that awoke my emotions, emotions being mostly anger and hatred but, emotions none the less. But it had one song on it that spoke to me in a different way Vermillion Pt.2 which was quite tender in comparasing to the rest of the album. The video is totally awesome aswell and you should check it out if you find it anywhere because I unfortinuatly didn’t.
Got off on a little side track there, but after listening to some songs from that album and really diving into them, I started looking up other songs in the same category. I’ve found lots. Lots of anger, chills and hatred. It reminded me alot of how I really am, or how I was - I’ve lost the difference inbetween. So pumped, all the time and almost always very calm.
I really need to do this more often, It feels just awesome. Just being able to let go off everything and just fall wasted in to the pumping drumms and screaming guitar, being amazed by the sense of emotional desperation in the singers screams.
Bring on the anger, bring on the hate and some whipped cream on the top please.

Anger and hate are not my strongest sides but I make a mean wipped cream
