Well, I think that the music makes me feel different things in different moments. One song for every moment. One song for when I stay close at the window, in mi bedroom or in a bus travel. Lov ya
The soundtracks change everytime. Sometimes I found another band or discover another album to listen... sometimes I comeback for another one that keep behind, and again, and again, and again.
This time, I will talk about a wonderfull musician. She's inspired me so much, its a incredible referent. Between the 70's punk scene in England and the begin of the gothic scene, she blooms like a bloody rose, full of spikes and a scarlet red color. I talk about Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees!!!
Now I listen the album: "The Rapture". I think that is the soudtrack of my life in this moment. This album mutates in different and infinites sensations, start with a happy and romantic explotion with "Oh Baby"... I think that this song is one of thoose pop melodies that introduce you in a sticky sway, makes me feel like I'm falling into a imaginary love, but then "Tearing Apart" and "Stargazer" rescue me from that rare abyss. "Stargazer" is like a fanciful melody, staying stuck looking at the stars, imagining things ... in any case, life is built from various imaginary ... right?
"Fall from Grace" its like a conclusive song, like for the end of a movie in which conclusions-are-reached-that-liberate-our-interiors-and-we- are-so-grateful-for-everything-that-has-been-lived... I think so."Not Forgotten" its so dark.., between powerfull percutions and distorted guitars. Simply... its fascinate. I think this song is the one that introduces you to the dark world that comes on the other tracks.
"Sick Child" is so sad, sad and beautifull. The blood rose start to make us feel madly in love with a mind madly in love. "The Lonely One" and "Falling Down" melodically it distracts us a bit from this darkness, although its lyrics are quite deep and harsh... even ironic.
and then ... "FOREVER" this musical piece that makes my hair stand on end. I would die listening to it, feeling it. I think it immerses me in a sea of very strong feelings ... and then I sing very strongly "we, we couldn't stay together, I knew this wouldn't last forever. Forever just one more time then never, this is the last string to sever. " I have no words to explain what I feeling when I listen this song.
"The Rapture" is a special song. It makes me quite nostalgic. Like her lyrics say, it just makes me feel like falling rhythmically.
"The Double Life" it's the song that i don't usually listen to much ... and then i get to the end with "Love Out Me". The album closes very well with this song, strong and heartbreaking. Siouxsie's voice penetrates you easily, enters for your pores and inevitably causes you to start singing along with her.
I definitely love this album, if I ever stop listening to it, I know that eventually I will come back on my knees to it.
10/10
