Wheni was down, during my +2 years. when i had no one to talk to. no one to share my darkness with. no blogs to let it out. no friends to share it with. no body to call my own.
I Found music.
The beatles were a band i had always loved. but slowly, as i started making music my religion i saw a new dimnsion to them
Paul,George,Ringo and John were no longer just beautiful melodies. they were lessons. they were emotions. they were feelings. they were messages. in a song a peerson shares his innermost and truest feelings with you in such a subtle way that if they were to just stand in front of you and say those words you'd call them a whack-job or looney.
then i came to metallica. fo the first time in ages i heard some dark music other than Pink Floyds 'Hey You' (Hey you, out there in the cold;Getting lonely, getting old : Hey you, out there on your own,Sitting naked by the phone)
Metallica was strong and powerful. Negative emotions of anger and loss. of frustration and loneliness. They helped me more than i could ever thank them for.
The effect of recklessly headbanging away to those metal calssics like master of puppets,Ride the Lightning,Fade to Black,Unforgiven,For whom the bell tollls,Seek n Destroy,Creeping Death was enough for me to drown my bad times in.
