The first ever band I was crazy about was Fall Out Boy. Songs like Dead On Arrival and Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy were the songs that caught my attention. Got the album from a classmate when I was sec 1. I think their best album is still their first ever one. 'Take this to Your Grave'. Yep, their best. Their third album in my opinion is the most boring one. They did more pop-ish stuff in 'Folie A Deux'.
But their the first band that I've ever liked so, they rock!
When I was in primary school I listened to crap, like Simple Plan (IN MY OPINION). Music changed my life I guess. I started to learn how to play the guitar when I was sec 1, due to the influence of my classmates. I would just wake up early and play it and have my parents come out of their rooms and scold me.
Oh. It was also the year that my parents got a piano for my sister. And yeah, I woke up early again to play the piano, just to have my parents rant at me again. They love me. Haha.
After church camp a few of us decided to play for the Hi_Kids, so we formed a band. Thaddeus was the guitarist, Joel and Charlotte keyboardists, me on the drums, Andrew, Benjamin, Charlotte, Brenda and Joyce singing, and Clement who only took one day to learn the bass. Haha. And yeah, we had fun with Uncle David coaching us and all.
Me and Thaddeus went to audition for Storm near the end of our secondary 1 year, and we were told that we were gonna play for Storm when we were in sec 2, so we've been playing since then. And now the joker's singing and playing electric guitar too.
I guess music has affected my life in a certain number of ways. I've found a way to express myself, and also, it gives me another way of worshipping God by serving Him. Through music, I've made many friends and it was also because of it, I got into my current CCA, the Fairfield Guitar Ensemble.
I really wanna thank God for giving me these talents. Haha.
Anyways, I had guitar today. And oh, the doctor said that my wrist problem was because of a stiff muscle. So, I went for guitar, and couldn't play due to that silly cramp, and had to babysit the sec ones. Watching them all play guitar infront of me made me jealous. AHH. So I pretty much wasted my time there. Fell asleep after they left. Haha.
Hmm. Cross country's tomorrow. Ahh. Don't feel like going. Never mind. I'll just go for the mass 'run'. Hehe. 7/11's on the 4.8km route! Yayness.
Hmm. I've got nothing much to post about.
Oh, another band that I was crazy about, and still very much in love with is Paramore! Somehow I can just relate my emotions to the lyrics. Anger, sadness and even happiness. Love them.
Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy - Fall Out BoyWhere is your boy tonight?
I hope he is a gentleman
Maybe he won't find out what I know
You were the last good thing about this part of town
When I wake up
I'm willing to take my chances on
The hope I forget
That you hate him more than you notice I wrote this for you
You need him
I could be him
I could be an accident but I'm still trying
That's more than I can say for him
Someday I'll appreciate in value
Get off my ass and call you
But for the meantime I'll sport my brand new fashion
Of waking up with my pants off at 4:00 in the afternoon
Saturday - Fall Out BoyI'm good to go
And I'm going nowhere fast
It could be worse I could be taking you there with me
I'm good to go
But it looks like I'm still on my own
I'm good to go for something golden
Though the motions I've been going through have failed
And, I'm coasting on potential towards a wall
At a hundred miles an hour
When I said
Two more weeks, my foot is in the door
I can't sleep in the wake of saturday
Saturday, when these open doors were open ended
Saturday, when these open doors were open ended
Pete and I attack the lost Astoria with promise and precision
And a messed up youthful innocence
I read about the afterlife, but I never really lived
More than an hour
And I read about the afterlife, but I never really lived
And I read about the afterlife, but I never really lived
Pressure - ParamoreTell me where our time went
And if it was time well spent
Just don't let me fall asleep
Feeling empty again
Cuz I fear I might brake
And I fear I can't take it
Tonight I'll lie awake
Feeling empty
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
I can feel the pressure
It's getting closer now
We're better off without you
Now that I'm losing hope
And there's nothing else to show
For all the days that we spent
Carry away from home
Some things I'll never know
And I had to let them go
I'm sitting all alone
Feeling empty
Let the Flames Begin - ParamoreWhat a shame we all became such fragile, broken things
A memory remains just a tiny spark
I give it all my oxygen,to let the flames begin
To let the flames begin
Oh, glory
Oh, glory
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is what will be
Oh, glory
Somewhere weakness is our strength
And I'll die searching for it
I can't let myself regret such selfishness
My pain and all the trouble caused
No matter how long
I believe that there's hope
Buried beneath it all and
Hiding beneath it all, and
Growing beneath it all, and
This is how we'll dance when
When they try to take us down
This is how we'll sing it
This is how we'll stand when
When they burn our houses down
This is what will be
Oh, glory
Reaching as I sink down into light
Reaching as I sink down into light
Goodnight guys!
