Just What We Need

Well, today I feel like talking about the other side of music. No, not the buisness side, you nitwit. I want to talk about the emotional side of it. I touched on it a bit in my blog about small teenage bands, but I feel like saying more about it. Because its my blog and I am going to say whatever I want. Suck it up. Like cum.
Well, I guess the reason I love music enough to dedicate my entire blog series to it is because of my emotional attachment to it. My first time experiencing something emotional happened because of music happened when my brother was cleaning out his CDs. He gave me Hybrid Theroy by Linkin Park. I was in a Radio Disney stage at that point in my life and wasn't deep at all. I put in the CD, having full faith in my brother to give me something cool [because I wanted to be just like him], and put the scratched, old CD into my bright, happy, yellow CD player. Well, what came out of the speakers totally wasn't bright and happy. Papercut started playing, quietly of course; pop doesn't need to be that loud, I automatically got chills. They lyrics really hit me. Hard. The line 'That the face inside is hearing//Me Right beneath my skin' almost made me cry. Mind you, I was in about fourth grade then; things didn't really hit me that hard, especially songs. For me music was just one of those things that was there. Just there. Nothing special, a good beat, fun lyrics. Thats it. Sad, I know.
I guess if my brother never gave me that CD I wouldn't be here right now typing all this shit up. I guess I regret listening to it somewhat. Just kidding! I don't regret pressing play on that day.
Music has really made me who I am. Oh damn. I'm getting all emo here. But, its true no matter how cliche it sounds. I love the fact that people that were once just like me, maybe still are, can express themselves through something that sounds so fucking great. I think music is a privillage for people. And some people have been abusing it. Which is depressing to me. 'With great power comes great responsibility' is so overused. But I think it really applies to the music industry. Bands that are together just to say 'Fuck me! I'm in a band' is really annoying. Its a waste of time, CDs, and ears. Bands that really put their heart and soul into their music, Such as Chiodos, My Chemical Romance, Sonny Moore, Slipknot, and many other bands are the trully good bands. They aren't a waste of CDs, ears, and time. They are money well spent.
I love when I can completely understand a song by just hearing the instruments. I love hearing a drum solo and think 'I feel your pain, dude'. Then the vocals join the amazing instruments and its just like 'Wow. I fucking get it. I get it.' Its such a great feeling to know that someone out there has the same problems as you, but does something about it. I mean, the [good] music buisness is just a bunch of dudes that happen to play an instrument or sing but are really fucked up. Its just really comforting knowing that you can make a career out of being fucked up. Thats what I love about music. It gives me hope that I can be fucked up and still make money.

And my blog had barely anything to do with the emotional side of music. Darn.
