Adding on...


I know this seems like a continuation of my last writing, but this aspect of music deserves a full write-up because its very significant...the words, sweetly called as lyrics...i am equally obsessed with it...for every song that i had in the music collection, i had strived to collect its lyrics...let me stress that my obsession with it neared the border line...everytime i lost the music and its supporting lyrics due to computer crashes, i would recollect them with the same amount of patience and with no sense of boredom (yeah, i was equally despondent when the system erases all the precious lyrics i had collected)...maybe there are lot of people out there who do the same thing, i dont know but i had to see the lyrics and realize if the words are as powerful as they seem with the flow of music...it is strange that once you listen to a song, you would always associate the rhythm with the lyrics you tend to find later...i mean, your mind would connect them but sometimes i have looked for mood specific lyrics and then searched for the corresponding song.


I do love reading books but the shortest and powerful way to make you think or realize is lyrics...just few words but so meaningful. There are some specific lines that always stay on my mind and luckily, its music has done justice to it. One of my all time favorite is:


And I don't want the world to see me, Cause I don't think that they'd understand, When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, Or the moment of truth in your lies, When everything seems like the movies, Yeah you bleed just to know your alive.

well, i can never explain the impact of this song and these specific words because i identify many shades of myself with it...its always in explorative phase, dont ask me why:)

Oh I love those lyrics from Iris.. so powerful. Another song I love the lyrics to is 'My Sacrifice' by Creed.
Poems and songs are the shortest yet most beautiful way to convey a message na!
