wake up

sometimes i feel sad that so many of my favourite bands have grown old and broken up, or have started producing music that is... off the mark. the worst part is that i find the bands of today to be rather sucky, or perhaps it's just that i can't seem to be able to connect with their music.

as such, i've been listening to more or less the same group of songs for years. once in a while some new songs will come around, but only on rare occasions do they make it into the 'core' group of favourites. usually they just hang around for a while before i get sick of them.

maybe it's not the songs themselves, but rather the feelings i attach to them that make them so great. back then everything was new and felt so amazing, like wow, i've never heard anything like that before! it was also a time with many strong feelings and emotions, so that'll inevitably get thrown into the mix too.
