latest jamming

2007-08-31T10:17:00.000-07:00

jamming has been great recently! straight after bio+amaths on wed..
nat's house, take my guitar back and slight jamming with nat! hahaha. was great with his stereo in his room.
thurs: caleb+ian+nicol+nat+ME back to the bukit timah ALVRON again. must say the dudes there are quite nice.. the service is GOOD, but the acoustic amp... hmmm....
but quite ruined cause caleb and nat came only 1 hour later.. so we didnt have enough.,,
SO WE WENT TO IAN"S HOUSE... his cool synthesizer and piano.. and acoustic. not bad la hahh. totally jammin la.
friday: today::
went to church just only... came back, jammed again with ariel. its crazy, 1 month of not touching my guitar and then 3 days consecutively... i'm totally obsessed with my pedalboard and my tubezone... hahaa... picspics!

put the tamiya car wheel on the volume knob.. so i can step on it to boost whenever i want... well still no money for a boost pedal, so that should do..
as for me music wise, still aint as good. cant play my canon properly already... needa prac all over again, but well its fun with a little pedalboard. :D
guess tts all. lol

in pieces

Linkin Park's newest album has been mostly a great let down to many old supporters... they kinda lost their edge and screaming hardcore cool smooth rapping/ vocals and weird lyrics that make no sense and yet they do.
this album however, is classified by many pros as a "noober" album simply because of its type of alternative music, with simpler beats, simpler lyrics and simpler musical styles..

from what i picked out, this is their most emo album yet.
the songs dont show their emo side when you just plug them in and listen to them, u gotta be able to identify with them...

was recalling a time when i was real pissed of with a friend whom i wanted to keep as a friend, and this song came in the wrong time..

IN PIECES- LinkinPark
Telling me to go
But hands beg me to stay
Your lips say that you love
Your eyes say that you hate
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
What you build you lay to waste
This truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take
[Chorus]
So I, I won't be the one
Be the one to leave this
In pieces
And you
You will be alone
Alone with all your secrets
And regrets
Don't lie
[End Chorus]

You promise me the sky
Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms
And chill me to the bone
There's truth in your lies
Doubt in your faith
All I've got's what you didn't take

it simply yelled,
i wont be the one who will care. i'll leave this relationship in pieces, i'll leave you all alone to die.
music can really drive the emo out of someone... thank God i still have him... hearing "bleed it out" when u feel like cutting yourself would have been a disaster. seriously.
words wont be able to describe the feelings this song can reallly bring. try to put urself in ur worst emo shoes and listen to the lyrics... (though the vid may take a while to load) and feel it for urself. this is when music is more then just tunes and lyrics..

okay! with regards to my old blog, its NOT an old blog. this is just my 2nd blog...
and then jingming goes making me jealous about his new pedal coming this friday. thou shall not covet, i will not be involved with guitar stuff yet. MI audio tubezone after Os.. must bear with it.
jamming was cancelled last sat, i'm sad to say there will be no more jamming til after prelims.. sorry ariel. iknow u want it even more then me.
btw, ariel's my gf! lol.
chinese compo was -.- but nonetheless i know what went wrong, am sure to do much better retaking it! yeah..

tagbox will be up soon i hope.
to janet: hiieee!!!~
and to jingming: mtv still plays music... its rly a personal thing.

i suppose more will be discovered as i slowly open up more songs..
til then,

keith,

Matchbox Twenty: unwell

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like Im headed for a breakdown
And I dont know why

[chorus]

But Im not crazy, Im just a little unwell
I know right now you cant tell
But stay awhile and maybe then youll see
A different side of me
Im not crazy, Im just a little impaired
I know right now you dont care
But soon enough youre gonna think of me
And how I used to be...me

Im talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know theyve all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow Ive lost my mind

[chorus]

But Im not crazy, Im just a little unwell
I know right now you cant tell
But stay awhile and maybe then youll see
A different side of me
Im not crazy, Im just a little impaired
I know right now you dont care
But soon enough youre gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Ive been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon theyll come to get me
Yeah, theyre taking me away

[chorus]

But Im not crazy, Im just a little unwell
I know right now you cant tell
But stay awhile and maybe then youll see
A different side of me
Im not crazy, Im just a little impaired
I know right now you dont care
But soon enough youre gonna think of me
And how I used to be

Yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
Well, Im just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
Im just a little unwell

weird stuff in the video, and this.. angsty lead singer.
first verse talks about how boring teen life can get, note they keep showing whats ABOVE him and its just 4 walls all around... giving some sense of enclosure.
after that, his feet suddenly POPS OUT BIG, which clearly hints he must be a weirdo or outcast..
but no.. he's just a lil unwell.

then some weird creature pops out of his bathtub at the chorus, giving me the creeps of what happens everytime he bathes. oh well.

the weirdo talks to himself in public... having no one else.. everyone stares at him in disgust.
video quality is bad, but if u see closely one guy on the train opens and closeshis mouth.. quite scary.
and then all of a sudden a green bear pops out.. woo that's just randomness... and he seems to hate it.

escapng in a car.. flying in a plane, all dun seem to get him away from his disgusting world.
he ends up back in his "house"... with his dog...
and note his guitarist? is playing an instrument which is unrecognisable to me.. apparently its been the one producing the sound coming from the intro and throughout the whole video. intesteresting!

overall a weird and random video, with hints of sadness that its producer wished to express... the outcasted feeling.

ok actually, i'm not in the mood for reviews. zzz.

my music blog!

2007-08-08T03:54:00.000-07:00

hello!
as this will be another blog, i will be posting SOLELY about music here!
whether its about my guitar, any new song compositions, touching lyrics that embarked on me, and
MTV REVIEWS! (ok just VIEWS perhaps)

i realise everytime i catch HITS on mtv, i'm glued to the screen for an hour or two... and i actually really appreciate video's because they merge sound/music, story and art together.. something really... quite me... its something i'm interested in...
actually, the truth in the music industry is, every form of music has their substance in it, including thrash metal, industrial metal, lame RND beats and cranky lyrics...
it just appeals either to the masses or individuals..

i promise, 100% NO EMO in this blog, so if u'd like to know about the lightER hearted me... do keep to this blog!
i'm sad to say, i will be using a template skin from blogskins.com this time... i'm not able to make skins that are... bright and cheery. lol or mayb its just cause i dont have time.

keep viewing for a first review soon,

keith,
turningpro.
