Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mozart was awesome, though. He wrote his first music as a child!

Just so ya know, a great website to go for music is radioblogclub.com. Right now I'm listening to Rise by Origa.

Oh my GOD. I just really listened to the poem in But Home Is Nowhere by AFI. It's... genius. I'm now understanding my friend's obsession with the band.

These are the lyrics to it... And the way it's spoken... it gave me chills.

We held hands on the last night on earth. Our mouths filled with dust. we kissed in the fields and under trees, screaming like dogs, bleeding dark into the leaves. It was empty on the edge of the town, but we knew everyone floated along the bottom of the river. So we walked through the waste where the road curved into the sea and the shattered seasons lay, and the bitter smell of burning was on you like a disease. In our cancer of passion, you said, "Death is a midnight runner."

The sky had come crashing down like the news of an intimate suicide. We picked up the shards and formed them into shapes of stars that wore like an antique wedding dress. The echoes of the past broke the hearts of the unborn, as the Ferris wheel silently slowed to a stop. A few insects skittered away in hopes of a better pastime. I kissed you at the apex of the maelstrom and asked if you would accompany me in a quick fall; but you made me realize that my ticket wasn't good for two. I rode alone.

You said, "The cinders are falling like snow." There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence, of blue and grey. Strange, we ran down desperate streets and carved our names in the flesh of the city. The sun has stagnated somewhere beyond the rim of the horizon, and darkness is a mystery of curves and lines. Still, we lay under the emptiness and drifted slowly outward; and somewhere in the wilderness we found salvation scratched into the earth like a message.

I' not sure. It's my friend who keeps forcing the AFI CDs on me. But I'm starting to like them. biggrin

I just listened to the end song, during the credits, of Edward Scissorhands. SO beautiful. Wow.

Currently listening to... 'Nowhere', from Madlax.

My playlist is full of all this stuff I downloaded from my CDs.

Basically, the Suncoast near my house went out of busniess, and I spent all my money ($80) on OSTs. It was awesome, though. $18 CDs for maybe $6 each. :happy:

Celtic Women has beautiful on it. The male version of this is Il Divo. These guys have great voices too.

My older son is a Sarah Brightman fan. He's got a sound system in his truck which put most to same. He loves folks who seem heck-bent to share their "music" with the rest of us (you know... the ones whose bass is up so loud it shakes the cars around it... can't imagine what's happening their eardrums).

Kevin pops in one of his Sarah Brightman CDs and cranks up his volume for a few seconds to drown out their thumpitie-thumps. He loves the looks on their faces... he just grins and says "Priceless."
