Surprise! Seems like a voice that never sings, has also a mind that never thinks. Well, I think a lot but never used to put them down in a proper format what people recognize as poems or songs. It all started around a year back, I realized that I was forgetting a lot of stuff and I began writing them on my phone. Never had I thought that I would eventually make them public and put them together on my blog for people to read. But I guess, this was how it was meant to be.
Lyrics mean a lot to me. I need to know what a song is saying and what it actually means. I love all those small rhymes, little melodies and minor details that some lyrical geniuses of our generation, wit fully use in their songs.
I started paying more attention to the lyrics back when I used to listen to a lot of Fall Out Boy. Pete Wentz has a unique way of writing corny, cheesy and clever lyrics. Those over the top pun intended lines and super long song titles used to always amaze me and blow me away. As I grew, I discovered some more genius along the way. Jesse Lacey of Brand New, Thom Yorke of Radiohead and Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes are the names that I always look up to when I have to listen some stunning and brilliant lyrics. The way these guys combine the theme of a person's love for his lover and his love for that supreme power is quite astounding. I think that this field of song writing is the best as it uplifts itself from the same old crap of people writing about their pity life and search for answers that actually mean something. In past one year, I have discovered even a lot more of pure perfection. Julian Casablancas of The Strokes, Kanye West and Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys are some names that have aspired me a lot. Specially, this guy, Alex freakin' Turner! I think that he is one of the best poets of our modern age!
From now on, I'll be posting some of my poems/songs/lyrics on this blog. Most of the posts will be just a random collection of rhymes since most of the times my only focus while writing is to make different words rhyme. The only problem with the written form is that it puts a limit to my rhyming boundary because( if you listen to rap songs properly, you'll see) one can make a lot more words rhyme with their way of pronouncing certain words. I like songs with seriously long titles ( what else do you expect from a fan of Fall Out Boy, Brand New & Arctic Monkeys! ), so that will explain my song titles. It's something that I'll do for some fun and hopefully you'll like it! If you like it then feel free to comment, if you don't then please don't waste your time in criticizing! Haha,, just kidding, all your comments are welcome. Let's see, how it goes ;)
