Musical Remedy

I know I've been posting a lot of music lately, and I guess it's down to the fact that I'm finding it myself. I remember a few years ago, I would listen to music (or watch films, etc) that was influenced by other people's taste. I would eventually grow warm to it, and change according to the people I was close to as time went on.

I guess those "phases" were needed, seeing as they've bought me to this stage now where I know what I like - and it's my own. It's not influenced by someone else, it's not something I watch/listen to because I became used to it. They are things I started to fall in love with myself, after years of just trying to settle into some kind of description. It's funny now, when I listen to a song or watch a movie or something from just a few years ago, and I find myself either laughing or cringing at it, wondering what I was thinking.

It feels good to know that I'm finally understanding things about myself. For example, I love listening to old indian songs that I grew up listening to (whether I really understand the meanings of the words or not isn't up for debate), or listening to some really loud Slipknot or System of a Down.. But then I love listening to the cheesy 70's and 80's stuff too, like Total Eclipse of the Heart (Bonnie Tyler) or a bit of more calm, inspirational stuff like Enya. And at others, a lot of Pendulum and Prodigy. And I can fall in love with each piece music in a different manner each time, if I can find the connection to it. These days I'm into this whole "accidentally coming across great music" period. And I think it's working well. I don't want to put it into any categories, but it's exciting.

There are some songs though, that just stand out. Like this one, that I've been listening to for the last decade. One of the best bands out there - fo 'sho!
