Music is My Savior

Music is great in so many ways. Music cam be motivation, inspiration, realization, and even fantasy in many occasions. I found that the songs I really like are the songs I could relate to the most. Sure, the poppy songs that make you want to dance are always nice, but I have no idea what i would do without the songs that are more real, deeper, and meaningful. These are the types of songs I blast my system to when I've had a rough day and need to get away. It's always good to remember that music isn't only sound, but can be words too. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of sick guitar solos, or a nasty sounding set of drums, but what really catches my attention in songs are the lyrics. Without the lyrics, a song isn't a song; without lyrics a song just turns into a worldless story. Who wants to listen to a story with no words? So what i challenge you to do is write your own lyrics. Write about anything, perhaps a life experience, or even something that may have upsetted you the day you decided to write these lyrics. I write all the time, so if you'd like to see some of my pieces of work I'd be more than delighted to share them with you and try to help you get started on your own work.

Type of music I listen to when I'm mad or upset: Metal and Screamo music

Jon Pruett:Acoustic and Unsigned

Yesterday while sitting at home on my computer, a friend IMed me about a new musician named Jon Pruett. After watching some of his videos on http://www.youtube.com/, i started to like what i was hearing. However, I do have to admit that he makes a wierd face when he sings. Funny face or not, the guy can still sing and play guitar like there's no tomorrow. His voice is almost a mix between the lead singer from Breaking Benjamins and the lead singer from Staind. Matter of fact, Pruett does a cover of So Cold(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMLPsyq5t7o) and comes close to simulating the voice of Breaking Benjamins' lead singer. If you love acoustic music, I guarentee that you will like the sound of this guy. Please keep in mind that one or two of his songs might be semi-inappropriate(Freak), so be sure to get consent to listen to the songs. Please check him out and feel free to tell me what you think of him.
