unknown bands
Well, If anyone has read my blog faithfully, which I’m sure no one has because my thoughts are pretty random, I am a huge music fan. I love music from unknown bands. For instance, has anyone heard of the band called Feeder. If you listen to their lyrics for one song, you will notice how they sing with such passion. Why does this seem to not be important to people anymore? The songs dominating things like MTV or Much Music are rap and R and B songs talking about getting “crunked” or shot or women. How can these messages be far more important than that of real heart felt lyrics.
I am not saying that songs have to talk about deep love to be important or beautiful songs , because I personally am sick of hearing about those songs too. It seems that lots of the “mainstream” rock songs all focus on this topic. While I will be honest with you there are songs from Feeder that do talk about these things, they discuss the issues not in boy meets girl, girl and boy fall in love, and happily ever after. For example here are lyrics from my favorite song called pushing the senses
“Pushing The Senses”
Feelings you never knew
Pulling you under now
Your fighting the undertow
Before it sucks you down
Pushing the senses
It’s pushing the senses now
Come on come on
What are you going to do
You can’t find another day
Come on come on
You’re pushing the senses
You’re pushing the senses through
Always, I can depend on you
But sometimes
It’s burning a hole right through
Let’s talk about it
Staring at photographs
Posted on the wall
Images smiling down
The face of a lonely soul
Come on come on
What are you going to do
You can’t find another day
Come on come on
You’re pushing the senses
You’re pushing the senses through
Always
’cause I can depend on you
But sometimes
I’m finding it hard to choose
Let’s talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It’s burning a hole right through
Let’s talk about it
Let’s talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
Sometimes
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It’s burning a hole right through
Let’s talk about it
Always
I can depend on you
But sometimes
It’s burning a hole right through
Keep pushing the senses through
Let’s talk about us
The lyrics just catch you. They intrigue me, and it makes me try so hard to find some meaning in what he is saying. I feel a deep connection with bands like these who are more focused on their music then on their money. They sing because it is what they love to do not because it is a way to get rich and famous. At least this is the way I percieve such individuals.
