I'm sick, like right now. It's 11:30 in the morning and I'm out of school. That only means something, I have the time off!! Finally, a break! Finally, I had a good sleep last night! I really don't wanna think of anything else right now except for relaxing. The past few months have been as tense as inferno. And inferno wouldn't be a fair "punishment" because I haven't done anything like MAJOR WRONG. Hey, it's not my fault I'm sleeplessly stressed!
I'd miss FOUR quizzes today. But it doesn't matter to me that much right now...
Anyway, I think I'm sick. Like, I may be spawning a chronic disorder within my dysfunctional veins. You see, a few minutes ago, I was researching about the Ear for Bio and then I saw something I might have. ALL of the symptoms showed me.
I realized something again: I am so paranoid.
Last summer I thought I had cancer, for Pete's sake! LOL! Seriously...
Moving on, right NOW, I think I might have something neurological. Which sucks, if you ask me. Since I already have tinnitus. Both are involving the EAR. Suddenly. I find myself falling for Biology.
In my free time, which is NOW, I take the chance to honor Music - it who soothes the savage beast in me. And this savage headache as well. More importantly, I position the limelight on ROCK. I define "rock" differently, though. It's not high-strung strumming of guitars like metallic rock. In fact, it has taken on a new form. I don't know what that form is, really. I just know one thing, ROCK is the most emotional, most proliferating genre in Music EVER. It just continues growing emotionally. And if you could notice, it's the one genre that expresses much emotion unlike R&B who's just meant to ease... Unlike Pop, which just POPS! Unlike anything else.
Rock is a part of my life now. Having said that, I say it's not just a music genre, but also a WAY OF LIFE.
This is a tribute to all my first-loves in Rock.
1.) OneRepublic
I used to hate 'em. But I guess the more you hate the more you love. That ALWAYS works for me. The more you hate thing? Yeah, it always does.
What I Like About Em: The lead singer Ryan Tedder adds to the ear and eye candy. I mean it, his voice is like so ... emotional and full of potential in every way possible. Their lyrics are not only poetic, they're not "Shakespearean" type too. Mind you, Shakespearean type poetic is getting overrated nowadays. Plus, people who use it, I believe are MERELY putting together words that seem and LOOK deep, but lack profundity.
Writers nowadays tend to find depth in depth. That just doesn't work 'cause it looks like you're just copying others' works. You all know how much I hate copying right? One's style, one's looks, one's opinions? You can't copy those. And I'm glad OneRepublic keeps themselves caged from that lane. Unlike others around here...
Favorite Single: It's so hard to decide! Definitely, it's not "Apologize" because it's too common now. I guess it's "All We Are". It's an unreleased single.
2) Fall Out Boy
What I Like About 'Em: Other than having Pete Wentz's presence, I like 'em because they make wonderful music together - yes, all four of them. Every song they have is perfect. There's like no song in a Fall Out Boy album that I wouldn't come to love. Although their titles make no connection to their lyrics; and are usually long, they prove to be witty (example: Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year << style="font-weight: bold;">Favorite Single: Very hard to decide, seriously!! I mentioned before that I love all their songs, right? But I guess I love "I'm Like a Lawyer" the most.
3) Lifehouse
People say that they're a Christian Rock group, and many of their songs have been a subject under scrutiny because of that. But whatever. I don't even know what Christian Rock is.
What I Like About Em: Voice. Lead Singer (Jason Wade). Lyrics. Tempo. That's what I look for in Rock, anyway. Most of their songs are uber romantic. Those are the type of songs you'd listen to while watching the sunset. Sappy, emotional and just...contemporary rock. Besides, Jason's voice is so raspy. (I love him!)
Favorite Single: Hmmmm, hands down, it's "Chapter One". I love "Whatever it Takes" too.
4) Dashboard Confessional
What I Like About Em: Truth be told, I am in love with Chris Carrabba (Italian lead singer). He's like perfect. He writes his/their own songs, he composes his/their own tunes. And he's the most perfect, most poetic writer EVER. His lyrics are PERFECT. Very soothing songs, perfect when it's summer and you're in the mood for solitude and aloneness.
Their lyrics won't mean a thing if you don't listen to their music. (If only I weren't sick right now, I'd be squealing at the thought of Chris Carrabba)
Favorite Single: I could say this without THINKING!!! "Stolen", of course! Most romantic song ever. I loved the video to heck!
I love Chris!
5) Incubus
What I Like About Em: This band pretty much changed themselves to the top. Perfect evolution. At first I didn't like them, but with their latest songs, I've grown to love 'em! The lead singer's voice is, again, so (am looking for the right adjective to use) heart-stopping. (Haha)Although their name is freaky and a li'l on the dark side (Incubus is a devil. What devil, you ask? Oh, let's not go there!), their songs aren't "dark" at all!
Favorite Single: Definitely, "Talk Shows on Mute".
