I've noticed lately that I do a lot of things that not many people do.
I go to class even though I despise the class.
I do homework and research on my own, even when I have every reason to copy off of someone.
I don't care what I wear or how I look.
I listen to scremo music.
I can understand scremo music.
I find scremo music to be some of the most beautiful poetry and heartfelt lyrics of all music.
Yeah those last couple are things that very few people agree with me on. I must say that, even though most people see scremo as a group of people who can't sing or play instruments well so they just try and make as much noise as possible, I see it as one of the most technical forms of music. One band that I really enjoy right now, Chasing Victory, has some of the most intricate drum, guitar, and singing parts that I have ever heard. And I really like the messages they have. One of their songs, The Killer is Me, is the feelings of this guy who wants to stay pure till marrige. He constantly screams to anyone listening that even though he wants to stay pure he most likely will give in to "the power of his weaknesses." "You can bet that I will throw it all away for her tonight, 'cause I'm oh so human and I am losing every second of this fight." This single line is the reason I love this song so much. This line seems like something I would have written.
I'm not trying to get into a musical debate or force anyone to listen to Chasing Victory. I'm only commenting on how interesting it is that G-d gives you the right kind of music for the exact right moments.
PS I love the iPod shuffle. It lets G-d play a part in your daily music choices. I find that no matter what I'm feeling, when I need it G-d has the exact right song play at the exact right moment so I can hear exactly which words I need to hear, not the words I want to hear.
