Alternative rock
Alternative rock is a style of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. In this instance, the word “alternative” refers to the genre’s distinction from mainstream rock music.
couldn’t be much more from the heart
Now, I wouldn’t normally recommend Staind over Metallica, but with “Nothing Else Matters,” I will. This song, Metallica’s version, has come on the radio a few times lately.
In the last year or so.. I have gotten so much unsolicited advice, which I could only ignore and explain they didn’t understand and it wasn’t like that. I feel fortunate that I feel passionate enough about someone or something that I am able to ignore outside forces… seems very relevant.

I know I’ve felt like this before, but now I’m feeling it even more
I had a song to write about but I forgot what it was now. The other day I was driving in the car with her and I kept coming across the Passenger song, “Let Her Go.” and I had to keep changing it because I couldn’t listen to it next to her. When I check my Shazam I am reminded it was Dreams by The Cranberries….
Most people don’t know this about me.. but I didn’t believe that I would ever let myself love someone again, and I’m pretty sure that I do….
I used to run it all, I used to be somebody
Then maybe you would understand why I feel this way about our love
It’s really no secret that I love 90s rock alternative. Today a song that I have always loved came on the radio right before I arrived at work. It played perfectly up until the point when I had to turn off my car and the song was just ending. I like when that happens. On the subject of secrets, it was months after she told me not to talk about our relationship to others that I realized just why it was a bad idea to share concerns and worries with your friends instead of the lady that causes the feelings..
All of my friends judge me and well.. her, terribly — because they just don’t understand. How could they? I hardly understand, but I continue to believe that I have a firm grip on what’s important.
As my friend gives me a run down of the drama that has ensued in her life lately, it really gave me a perspective as to how she might feel about the situation that we have ended up in.
It’s easy to feel like the victim when you feel like everything is going wrong and you just can’t understand why, but it’s much harder to step back and realize how your words and actions affect others. She has seen the fear in my eyes, but she has also seen the love.
Where did that point and purpose scurry off too? It is about that time where it has become lost again. There has been a few sayings that have given me hope and motivation lately. Last night I heard one in reference to my friend that is having some issues with her own romantical life… I know that is not a word, but it should be..
Someone told her, “If you are in love with two people at once, you should probably choose the second one.. because something was wrong with the first one to allow this to happen in the first place.” Now I don’t think those quotes should be on there, because the world knows that I can’t remember exactly what was said, but I heard what I needed to hear.
The other quote was in reference to enlightenment. I couldn’t even get close with that one because it was days ago but the gist was that one becomes enlightened when they can stop worrying about everything and start letting things take its course.. or thats what I got out of it anyway. Now it could just be the pills talking, but I have been feeling a lot better about things the more than she tells me, even if its hard to swallow at first. ..Everything happens for a reason.
In exciting news, I have plans to meet with my favorite lady today after work to get drinks at the coffee shop and go see her rockin new car today. Normally I would be more excited about the car.. but that’s not the case – that’s how you know it’s real.
and as for this lovely song.. She has never told me that she loved me before, except in my dreams.. hilarious but that’s a literal statement, however, if my opinion counts for anything, she’s told me that she loves me in so many more ways.. including a silent, wonderful look..
I just want something I can never have
I left a concert once because I was feeling sick, the next act was Flyleaf, but I didn’t know who they were. I saw Kill Hannah, a band that is probably not around anymore. This morning when I was looking for a song to listen to, I stumbled upon this gem. It reminded me of the time I missed out on seeing a bad ass show by taking the easy way out.. I’m not sure why I think that’s pretty relivant. I guess it’s one of the small things that I’ve always regretted. I prefer the Trent Reznor version, but she’s easy on the eyes.
and it feels like I’m just too close to love you
From the first time I heard this song, over a year ago, every time this song comes on, I just pause, listen, stare off into space.. if reminds me of two or three different nights.
I never know what to think about it.
You held your breathe and the door for me
Today I got the biggest surprise, and loved every minute of it. Even if I did keep talking and say everything that came to mind without filter, whatever, that’s me. Tonight I am listening to a lot happier music than normally. Ani Difranco isn’t specifically sad but it discusses political issues, even subtily that are just too real and tend to get me down.
Tonight I listen to this song and think about her. I feel like a pompous ass when I hear a song and it reminds me of someone, because I could see them saying those words to me.. I feel like it should usually be the opposite.. but I am pretty fond of myself, even if I fake otherwise well…
