Lets Listen to Noise

When listening to music, more times than not, I'll be clueless to whats being sung. And the fact that i seriously collect and listen to big chunk of tunes, makes me a bit dumb dumb eh? Take for instance bon jovi's cheesy lyrics.. erm i dont know the title but it goes

I'll be there for you,
these five words i swear to you,
when you breathe i'll be the air for you,
i'll be there for you.

So there i was counting, 1, 2, 3, 4.. hey how come "when you breathe i'll be the air for you" is only FIVE words?!

Maybe that's why i just take in the emotions of the song, the crashing drums, pounding bass line, the rythmic guitars bla bla. And i stay off Bon Jovi. Or other cheesy lyrics including those in mother tounge. Coz ill understand them sometimes so clearly it makes me cringe.

Tapi, must admit those bands from our neighbour do make some nice ones. Their poetic words just strike you down and grips a bit tight and makes heavy round the chest or ache in the belly. The simple description of clapping with one hand lah, and other sticky matters of the heart, can really strike the nail on the head. urgh..I think i'll pass. Dont want music to remind me of reality!

Mogwai's Friend of the Night

So ill stick with these shoegazers, space rock, whatever, that just make tunes without words. They build walls of sonic noise with soundscapes that soars and dives across planes and spaces for our minds to decipher. Sukahatilah nak rasa apa. NO singing, even if there was, its just like another instrument.

Now, Lets close our eyes and listen to this noise.
