Well, how about when I dive into something, I really DIVE in deep. Head over heels, no looking back, complete submergence within the substace. I become this porous thing and let myself become so filled with the thick, heavy material.
This material I am referring to is none other than, Type O Negative (TON).
Their lyrics are really rocking my soul right now, striking gold as they say. The lyicrs to one song impeticular made me cry upon hearing them for the first time, catching me COMPELTELY off gaurd. I was so happy, heading on over to hang out with a couple of my gal friends on a sunny Saturday morning, when... I actually hear the words... and burst into tears! Just burst! I NEVER just burst into tears... I either have something I'm sad/angry at and I can feel the tears coming.. but never out of the cold fucking blue! I was so surprised, that I listened to the whole song before getting out to walk to the Lori and Melissa's house. Needless to say, it sobered my happy ass right up. However, it was a very good, very rich cry. The song?
"Everyone I love dies". So fucking where I'm at right now. One part specifically: "I'm still searching for something that can't be found... but I'm hoping...." The way it is sung is so raw. Cut me it did.
Most of thier stuff is completely morbid. But I guess thats where I'm at in my life. I'm learning to embrace that whole mortality thing and not shy away with the fear of it like I have been for some time.
"Life is Killin me." doncha know.
On a side note, I think I'm delving so deeply and quickly into TON because I'm ready for their shit. I wasn't ready for their slower stuff even 6 months ago. I'm a late bloomer on music. I've only really started LOVING music in 2004.
Before that, I guess I was preoccupied and could never get out, I had no car,so no hope of seeing live shows. No Independence.
Some SHARONLOVE history:
Metallica awakened me from this gaping vortex that I had allowed myself to fall into. It jarred me and inspired me to take up an instrument, first the guitar... but soon after... THE BASS. Needless to say, I've stuck with that.
Upon going as far deep into the essence of Metallica, I discovered they did this cover of a song by this "leeetle" ol' band called, The Misfits.
From there, I quickly dove straight into DANZIG. DANZIG was the next big stop. They shoved hardcore bluesy numbers with deep metal riffs, and the ever awesome, incrediably smooth vocals of Glenn Danzig himself. The 5'4 wee mass of a man, was not only .... ungodly, but... ::gasp:: evil! Right up my fucking alley. Oh how I was completely smitten with the asshole. I formed a silly ol crush on the man, thirty years my senior! Gah... its not like I'm actually gonna get a chance to fuck him. ::cries::
Haha
(Saw Danzig in Oct of 2005 at the Hard Rock cafe... had Doyle Von fucking Frankenstein on guitar for original Misfits songs.... lets just say, dream come true)
It took a while for me to move on from DANZIG. I got into the later Misfits with Michael Graves and Gotham Road briefly, then a friend of mine introduced to me The Cruxshadows, Wolfsheim, and Jennifer <3 let me onto this awesome AWESOME band,She Wants Revenge.
Then Bauhaus, Depeche Mode, Pantera and more noteable (but I'm getting tired and too lazy to write them all) bands.... all really within a year. I had heard of most of these bands, but never really listened to them.
So really I have been educating myself on music and whats out there. Nothing has grabbed at me like this since DANZIG. Peter Steele's deep, cryptlike voice, the VERY audible bass chords, and the lyrics are what has sucked me in. Oh yes... did I mention that the drummer for TON, Johnny Kelly and the guitarist, Kenny Hickey are both currently in DANZIG? Yes, I knew there was a reason I dug this band.
Plus like Danzig, the more I read about him and them (TON) the more I like them. Danzig is an asshole... and heh "LOOKIE THERE!@!@" so are Type O. Muhahahahaaa!
Thank you for reading my long winded spiel and history. Now go buy Type O's new Album,
