Lyrics of My Life. MoAnna

[Tiff'blz]

I have an absolute love of music. I feel as if the people singing it are speaking to my very soul. Music varies, but the words are what matters to me. I like music for different occasions. Music for when I am sad, music when I am angry. . Music when I am happy! I love music.. Just like I love books! But this is mostly for the songs that really hit me hard.

I listen to all kinds of bands...except country.. They sing about the same thing over and over again..heartbreaks and outlaws and heartbreaks and pain.. Never happy stuff! I dont listen to monotonous stuff like that.

Particularly I listen to rock, but will vary to rap or pop that suits my mood or interest.

Like, I love Marilyn Manson's This is Halloween, because I love that movie, and he does such a good job on that song, and the beat is killer! And The Pot, by Tool.. Its just a cool song, and its good for someone who is feeling confused, because the words purposely make no sense!

Right now, I am getting a little into Japanese music as well, as their lyrics seem oddly beautiful to me. One in particular hit me for no particular reason.

Mou dareka no tame janakute, Jibun no tame ni waratte ii yo.

You dont have to force your smiles for anyone. You can smile..for yourself.

I dont know why I had to stop at that, but I did.. Well that is just one thing that I love about music. When you have to stop and think about the song for personal reasons that connect you to that song.

Disturbed songs are fun to listen to, especially when I am in a good mood. The songs Get Psycho and Prayer and Shout 2000.. Just some of my favorites, and Land of Confusion! And when I feel a little out of sorts I like to listen to Godsmack.. Different music for different occasions! I guess next time I write it will be to put up more lyrics that I have fallen in love with..

Hey, have you ever read a book, and then heard a song that made you think that the song was made for the book? Or vice versa? Well, I am an avid reader, I read Dean Koontz, and Stephen King, and Laurell K. Hamilton the most, but one book I read, its an oldie, was The Tommyknockers. It is a longggggg book! Well after I read it, I heard of the band Disturbed's Down with the Sickness.

An immediate connection was made. Just like a song I heard while playing the game Legend of the Dragoon.. It just became an every day thing. Whenever I heard it, parts of the book would pop into my head like a movie for that song. Well I just love listening to Disturbed, and really I honestly loved the book the Tommyknockers, so its okay. Its just a coincidence really. I heard a movie was made for the book, I will have to look it up.

Wow, I have never been more moved by a song. I heard Angels by Within Temptation. It is so sad and so beautifully sung. The lead singer has a beautifully clear voice, that made the song come to life. Her words made my soul soar, then dip low as the realization hits that she has been betrayed. It almost makes one feel as if you are going through it yourself, and you are feeling the pain that is translated through her words in the core your very being.

I have felt the pain of a loss of someone I lost due to their own free will to hurt me, and I have never felt so connected to a song.. I think I have a new favorite..
