Songs of the Week (2)

1. Bullet in the Head (Rage Against the Machine)

I’m honestly such a sucker for anything RATM-related, but this song is definitely in my top 3 this week. The band is so good at coming up with short but insanely effective slogans (is that what you call it?); like “they say jump, you say how high,” for example. Zack de la Rocha is one of the most powerful frontmen of all time, which becomes especially obvious in Bullet in the Head. This song really does give me chills.

2. Schism (TOOL)

Almost half a year later, and I’m still on Lateralus. I can’t seem to let this album go, it’s just so transcendentally beautiful I have to give it another listen. And then another. And another. I get that Schism is probably the most well-known song off this album, but I’m so tired of the ridiculous narrative that you can’t enjoy the popular songs because it makes you a ‘fake fan’ or whatever. Schism is amazing no matter which way you choose to look at it.

3. Die, Die My Darling (The Misfits)

I was originally introduced to The Misfits when I was about 10 by my dad with Dig Up Her Bones, but didn’t think much of the song or of the band until last week. Not only do they have a very solid discography, but Die, Die My Darling is such a catchy and heartfelt track that I felt it was necessary to include it this week. Apart from the mixing, which is a little strange at times, this song absolutely slaps.

4. Bleed the Freak (Alice in Chains)

Kind of an obvious favorite from Facelift, but a favorite nonetheless. I rediscovered it this week after completely overplaying it in August, but Bleed the Freak is such a genuine masterpiece that I just can’t seem to leave it alone. I don’t know what they put in this song but I am unashamedly obsessed with it (again).

5. Lullaby (The Cure)

Yet another banger from Disintegration. I swear I’ll make a separate post on this album someday, but for now I’ll have to make do with speaking about separate tracks only. Lullaby is so sincere and charming it makes me want to cry, even if at first glance there’s nothing to really cry about. Yes, it’s simple, but when has simplicity ever stopped a song from being good?

6. Testify (Rage Against the Machine)

God how I love The Battle of Los Angeles. This song is an absolute beauty, both in terms of being innovative with its music and giving you food for thought. As I’ve said before, I’ll bite at anything genuine or passionate, so you can imagine how much authentic happiness songs like Testify bring me.

7. Firestarter (The Prodigy)

Another band I was introduced to by my dad. I’ve been listening to The Prodigy quite a bit this past month because I missed a chance to go their concert in August, so really it’s no surprise that one of their songs ends up on here. Firestarter is mind-numbing, but in the best way possible; just like most of their music, this song carries the kind of energy you can’t find with any other artist. It’s gorgeous.

Songs of the Week (1)

1. Bodies (Sex Pistols)

Really got into Sex Pistols this week, can’t get this song out of my head. Questionable messaging aside, this song is brilliant. I rarely find myself able to separate the music from the lyrics, so being able to enjoy this so much is a big deal for me. Indescribable energy.

2. Whale & Wasp (Alice in Chains)

The Jar of Flies EP is a goldmine that just never stops giving. I don’t know what Jerry Cantrell did to make his guitar sound like an actual whale, but this song really takes me places. Breathtakingly beautiful.

3. Disintegration (The Cure)

One of the best songs off this album. I’ve wanted to make a separate post on Disintegration (the album, not the song) for a long time now, just because it’s one of those rare records that I consider to be genuinely flawless. Cried to this song multiple times, I just don’t know how to put into words what it makes me feel.

4. Estranged (Guns N Roses)

I feel like this is an obvious one but out of their entire discography, Estranged is definitely one of my favourites. Absolutely adore Slash’s solos in this one, especially the fact that at some point the guitar becomes a second voice on equal standing with Axl’s vocals. Heartbreaking. Could cry to this for hours, no joke.

5. Guerrilla Radio (Rage Against the Machine)

One of my favourites off of The Battle of Los Angeles. Had the whole album on repeat a lot recently, but this song especially is a godsend. There’s something so special about finding music that you can really call yours, that really fits you. Guerrilla Radio is definitely one of those for me.

6. Problems (Sex Pistols)

I don’t know what it is with me and Sex Pistols this week but I feel like Problems is another song that translates their energy best. It’s provocative and dirty, I’m absolutely in love with it. Anything sporting raw emotion or genuine sentiment is an instant yes for me.

7. Halloween in Heaven (Type O Negative)

The first Type O Negative song in my playlist ever, mostly because I never really liked them much if I’m being honest, but the female vocals somewhere around the middle of the song really won me over. I’ll check out some more stuff from Dead Again, we’ll see where it goes.

Tomorrow I'm going to see the cure... I'm excited to see my granny

I'M DYING SKBFKWBDKS MY UNCLE BOUGHT ME A TICKET TO SEE THE CURE AHHHH I CAN'T IM GONNA CRY 😭😭😭😭

I was listening to this song on repeat earlier today and thinking about James and Jason.

After a while that particular Jameson fic (I'd read a few months ago) came to my mind.

I believe they match perfectly... I mean the song and the fic 🥰

Hey, hey!

Finally I am posting one of my works. I wrote it years ago so it's small and not as good as it should be but it's still something.

It's a letter from Jason written to James

Just a repost from my account @/agliabo, I'm trying to start posting on tumblr again for the 2nd time! Anyway, on this account I will repost some drawings since the image quality on Instagram is horrible! (and I will possibly post some things without necessarily being a repost from my account)

Falta 6 dias para as aulas voltarem. Como eu me sinto? Eu realmente não sei. Uma parte de mim tem a certeza de acontecimentos conflituosos no futuro, outra, quer encarar o retorno como um novo recomeço.

A verdade é que não me sinto mais inteiramente disposta a ser social, conviver com gente da minha idade chega a me causar calafrios. Eles geralmente vivem em uma bolha absurda e só se importam consigo mesmos, unhas, aparência, quem pega mais pessoas, ser os caras mais fodas do colégio - e babacas.

Sei que preciso interagir e normalmente, me dou bem quando necessário. Mas as vezes, simplesmente me bate um desânimo, onde tudo cansa e eu só quero ficar lá parada, sem fazer nada, só parada. As vozes ficam altas demais, o calor enorme e tudo parece incrivelmente insuportável.

As reações se tornam exageradas. Todo mundo parece encenar a peça da própria vida e ao rirem alto e serem como são, disfarçam a dor interna e esconde os problemas por algum tempo, 5 minutos; 10; meia hora; por 1 dia, dependendo da situação e se a escola contribuir, é claro.

No fim, o que quero realmente dizer é que não quero fingir estar bem quando na verdade não estou; não quero forçar algo que não sou ou sentimentos dos quais não os sinto. Começo a pensar se não estou fazendo isso agora, apenas para escrever e caso, um mês depois, eu venha ler novamente isso, passe a achar tudo um absurdo e momentâneo.

Acho que a maioria das coisas são assim, momentâneas. Ficam um tempo, depois se vão, algumas vezes voltam, outras, somem para sempre, como se nunca tivessem existido.

não sei porque criar uma página aqui, eu realmente necessito escrever e acho que isso vai me ajudar, em me encontrar. Preciso de algo para me motivar ou para me distrair dos meus pensamentos e preciso realmente saber quem eu sou.

Será que isso é possível? Será que possa haver um tutorial, como no YouTube, que lhe ajuda a ser você mesma?

As vezes me sinto extremamente perdida, num barco a vela, vagando pelo oceano. Tenho medo do barco furar, da água invadir a embarcação e levá-lo para o fundo, junto comigo.

No fim, eu sempre consigo direcionar o barco de volta a praia, de volta a um lugar seguro e promissor. Mas.. e se um dia eu não conseguir e passar muito tempo perdida no mar? E se eu nunca mais conseguir voltar?

"...Tonight this is killing me." (Nesta noite isto está me matando)
