Current obsession - Kings of Leon's latest album "Only By The Night". Some solid tunes here, and practically not a single track I can blatantly critique at all. A mish-mash of Stereophonics, Yoav and Guns and Roses, it's magic that which i cant really pin-point but amazing. It opens darkly, with heavy sounds embedded into "Closer", and it eases into a light-hearted track about the city that which I love, "Manhattan" and it closes with the very depressing, "Cold Desert", as if to slowly take a polite exit to what I would say, one of the best albums I've ever heard in 2008.The album makes me believe that music will win wars, hearts, love and life. It brings to me emotions that are overwhelming but makes me believe that life will be beautiful with just music alone.
Sidetracking to other random things, there are so many gigs I want to go to but if only my pocket wasnt already so dented from my horrendous shopping habits (and bad economy!) Camera Obscura and The Whitest Boy Alive are some bands stopping by the sunny island of Singapore and I'm stoked. Let's see if I get a chance to catch them live!
And I just watched 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona', and I'm feeling the repercussions of living in this tiny city, and a longing to see what the world has to offer me. But I think I'd thrive well in passionate lovers, musicians, art, life and poetry, in all of it's twisted, warped mannerisms. It's so beautiful. And I want that kind of life, a truly beautiful life where I can live out in earthy tones, and to be one with the world. Like the forces of nature, is one with me.
