Scream-Sing-Whateverthisis.
After listening to a lot of electronic music recently, @manuvert reported about a concert he went to. Bands I hadn't heard of, and the curious person I am, I put them on - and was immediately sucked into the world of a genre shaped by high energy, fast & loud, double base drum, screaming mixed with clear voices, such things. Kind of what I feel like these days.
The electronic music does keep me down. Focused. Productive. But bands like FATA or Killswitch Engage? Different. Very different. It is something I listen to while I walk through nature, I don't deny it. But it transports me into other dimensions. Connects to a different side of feelings about the status quo.
Life isn't soft to me right now. It's not harmonic. It's full of dissonance, raw edges, trying to evoke anger, succeeding more times than it should, but less than last time. I listen. I learn. I resist.
This kind of music accompanies me. It's not easy to the ear, nor beautiful in a superficial sense, but full of truth. People that felt that way, that moment, and turned into a song, somehow, full of poetry and anger, harmonic dissonance. Somehow they managed to do that.
And I'm incredibly grateful for that. It's not easy to express that feeling. The sadness, frustration, anger, all mingled. Those bands got it done. A kind of art, to be able to express yourself in an unexpected way, anormal, and have other people connect to it.
Somehow.

Thank you! It's the Rio Intag - very easy one to make good pictures of.
Music does have a way of connecting with your feelings. Tell people all the time if they listen to my playlists they would think I had multiple personalities. Have all kinds of genres of music. For all occasions and moods. Although I have been trying to stop reinforcing negative emotion with more negative, like negative tunes.
Recently I have the feeling that finding music in the same mood as I am does not bring me down, it just contains me, or sustains me. Gives me some kind of support to not drop any deeper.
And yeah, I'm pretty sure most people have those playlists :-D
I think music is a wonderful healer.
