Lady Gaga 2009
This could very well cause my death. Now why would I post such horrible music? Well the reason is simple.... if ever I am found dead with a horrified look on my face check my daughter's stereo. This is what she has been playing over and over and over..... now of course she is related to me and has grown up with me meaning if you're playing music you don't play it quietly. So..... not only do I know the lyrics to this song, the spew out like verbal vomit. I nearly go into a catatonic state now as soon as I hear it start.
I am not even going to attempt a musical or lyrical analysis on this song except to say I hate this shit. Let this post simply be a clue to begin with in the event of my untimely demise.
Rick.... enjoy :-)

Hours of Wealth
Found a way to rid myself clean of pain
And the fever that's been haunting me
Has gone away
Looking through my window
I seem to recognize
All the people passing by
But I am alone
And far from home
And nobody knows me
Never heard me say goodbye
Never shall I speak to anyone again
All days are in darkness
And I'm biding my time
Once I am sure of my task I will rise again
- Opeth (2005)
Opeth has been one of my more satisfying musical finds. I remember watching the premiere of the current iteration of Headbanger's Ball and seeing a video for a song from their album Damnation. I really liked the song, but they fell off my radar for a couple of years while I tried to get my life bearings back. A couple of years later I was in Best Buy looking for new tunes and came across Ghost Reveries, which had some really good reviews. I put it in the CD player and was blown away.
Opeth has made their mark by crafting long and complicated songs with non-traditional structures. The basic sound is death and doom metal with other sounds thrown in the mix. The music ranges from heavy and brutal to dark and brooding. Every album sounds different, which is something that most bands stive for but few actually ever achieve. This song is taken from Ghost Reveries, which to this point has been their most commercially successful album.
Musically I find this song very haunting. The song is slow, with the underlying clean guitar joined by some wood instruments, violins, and piano. The timing of this music never changes, but the violins build a crescendo of sound, bringing a painful intensity to the emotional. Then all goes quiet as Mikael Akerfeldt begins singing the lyrics. The change to the sound brings forth the feeling of calm and peace. When the lyrics are finished, we are treated to a smooth electric guitar solo in the slow classical guitar tradition, which gives us the feeling that smooth sailing is ahead.
Lyrically this song brings forth mixed emotions in me. The singer has come to the decision on how to end what is troubling him, but at what cost will this be? In the lyrics there seems to be unfathomable sadness and loneliness present, but his voice is almost emotionless, as to demonstrate the resolve of his decision. But what is his decision? Is it leaving the place where he is currently? Is it suicide? Or is it a complete reorientation of his life? Each of these paths (along with a few others) could be followed from his words, but there are no clues as to the path he has chosen. I won't offer any conjecture at to what I think his path is as I don't really know. It is this cryptic message where the song holds its mystery for me.
I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this one while I continue to shop for Christmas.
And speaking of which... if our faithful and not-so-faithful readers don't hear from us before the end of the week, I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Broken
I wanted you to know, I love the way you laugh
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away
I keep your photograph, I know it serves me well
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when your gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore
The worst is over now and we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn and no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
And I don't feel like I am strong enough
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here anymore
Seether Featuring Amy Lee 2004
This video was shot in a trailer park destroyed by a meth lab that had blown up. The video features Amy Lee (Evanesence) and Shaun Morgan (Seether) wandering threw the park looking for each other. Seether has been around since 1999 though they haven't been at the top of many charts the band is still quite successful. They are a South African band which started out as Saron Gas, changing their name to Seether in 2002.
This song is pretty straight forward and strongly supported by the video. All romantic implications aside this song to me speaks of a lost friend. When that friend is gone for any reason one can feel broken and lost. Often times small things are blown into large issues unnecessarily. You feel like you are wandering through the day lost and lonesome. Relationships aren't always perfect, sometimes they aren't exactly what we want them to be but still we work on what we can.
"The worst is over now and we can breathe again" this line tells me that the bad part is over, whatever was done is done and now we can move on. No matter what was said it can be worked through. No matter what the problem it can be fixed, and the friendship will survive.
There is a version of this song with just Shaun singing though I definitely like this one better. Amy's vocals add to the intensity of the song. The melody and emotion in her voice are a good match as well.
Any other thoughts?
