During some of the rare times that I've glanced through the press recently I came across an article written by a reporter who obviously did not have any knowledge of the matter at hand; the matter was rock. Okay, I may not be the most unbiased person right here but the guy or gal (I really don't care) who wrote this article was of the opinion that all songs classified in the rock genre do not contain any lyrics. And so, he/she was reviewing a local band and stated that the said band forms part of the rare rock bands "a parole". Unless my French is totally dumb, did he/she try to say that it's rare to find a band classified in the rock genre (without mentioning sub-genres) whose songs have got wordings and thus a sense?
So, for fans of rock out there, know this, you don't listen to anything at all! Hehe... Guess he meant just some guitar riffs and some grrrrrrrrrrrrr from the part of the singer.
The totally stupid judgement that the guy/gal has passed has struck me like some form of racism. It's not only because I like rock and it's not because I write songs which are gonna be super popular in the near future, hehe, it's just that I know I have experienced, yeah I said experienced the most wonderful lyrics from rock songs. Just like I won't go about saying that the musical preferences of others suck I expect people to feel the same way about me. It's totally crappy to see a journalist pass foolish judgements on musical genres since they were supposed to be objective persons. I'm mixing up my thoughts here. But guess you've grasp the important part, the article has really pissed me off.
Ah well, here's the lyrics of "Reflect the storm" my new crush!
Shot for shot, many bullets penetrate me,
Embrace me, tell me stories of golden gods
The precision in your voice pierce the walls that I've built
Your eyes reach deep in me
Take a chance, they don't come much bigger than this
Dark star, spend another day with me, a dead surface that doesn't
Reflect the storm underneath. Take the chance
Bring me the calm
... And it leaves NOTHING
Expose the dark side, aching and emotional
Expose the dark side, impossible to tame
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Throw yourself into the eye of chaos
Infiltrate me, sneak out before I awake
Take out the trash and burn it
Try to find a beautiful place to lay
These fragile bones of mine
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
... And it leaves NOTHING
Expose the dark side, aching and emotional
Expose the dark side, impossible to tame
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Away from the light of the sun
Away what is really me
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Embrace me, tell me stories of golden gods
The precision in your voice pierce the walls that I've built
Your eyes reach deep in me
Take a chance, they don't come much bigger than this
Dark star, spend another day with me, a dead surface that doesn't
Reflect the storm underneath. Take the chance
Bring me the calm
... And it leaves NOTHING
Expose the dark side, aching and emotional
Expose the dark side, impossible to tame
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Throw yourself into the eye of chaos
Infiltrate me, sneak out before I awake
Take out the trash and burn it
Try to find a beautiful place to lay
These fragile bones of mine
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
... And it leaves NOTHING
Expose the dark side, aching and emotional
Expose the dark side, impossible to tame
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
Away from the light of the sun
Away what is really me
Away from the light of the sun
Away I find what is really me
I wish I could be injected with the song! Ah well, sniff!
So long rock buds!
