If music be the food of... well, everything really...

I'm the type of person that's effected by music. That's why I can't settle on a few favourite bands, or genres, because it's not the bands or genres that influence me. Sometimes I like rock, pop, even country on very, VERY rare occasions. Classical is good if I'm really in the mood for it, and I like to sing along to 70's and 80's stuff (which prompts my mum to ask how I even know any of those songs considering I was born at the end of the 80's) if it happens to be playing. Sometimes an unpopular song moves me because of the emotion behind the singing, or the lyrics. Right now I like Muse, which is following a bit of a pattern for me, liking bands that do some rock, and then throw in a soft rock song somewhere in the mix (like Falling Away With You), and of course I'm really into Rob Pattinson, who proves that just because most of the time no one can understand what you're saying, it doesn't mean that your message won't get across. On TWILIGHT TILL DAWN, I found a song called Almost Lover, and it became an instant favourite. I always used to get annoyed, because when answering questions like “What's your favourite band/singer?” I could never actually answer, and I thought it was because I had no original thought. Than one day I was randomly talking to a guy about music and he said that rather than only listening to the music I also feel the emotion of the song, which is why sometimes I really don't like some songs on the Top 40 charts, even though they sound fine.

Here's a random little thought I wanted to throw in, though it was something I was considering a while ago. I believe that Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls would've been a good song for Twilight, not only because it has the right sound to it, but because the lyrics really represent Edward's story. It doesn't matter what the words meant when they were written, but what they could have meant in terms of telling Edward's story, from his point of view. No, I don't have a lot of time on my hands, I just randomly noticed it one day... :)

IRIS – THE GOO GOO DOLLS

And I'd give up forever to touch
Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breath is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
All the moments of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Hmmm, A bit of a Twitter rant...

I'd just like to know what the obsession is with Twitter. Or more specifically, what MY obsession with Twitter is. Is it the allure of the limited character count that prompts me to share my random thoughts, or is it the fact that I instantly feel closer to celebrities because I can send them a tweet in reply to their own random thoughts? It's hard to say really, but all I know is that I'm finding it very hard not to tweet about things like my fascination with Twilight, shows I've watched during the night, movies I'm thinking of seeing, or have recently seen, and of course my neverending cynicism about whether certain celebs actually have a Twitter account or not. Come on guys, it takes two seconds to update, we should all have it!! I find the fact that my obscurity and the fact that I've never been anywhere, nor have anything all that interesting to say. leaving me with only about nine followers, completely disheartening. One day I may just say the most brilliant 140 character thing ever, and no one will be around to comment on it's brilliance. What a shame for the rest of the world. Thus the sarcasm continues, because I don't really care if I'm followed or not. If I got all the people on my Facebook to join I'd probably be as popular as a Z-list Celebrity, but that's not really the point. People will follow me because my world views are what they want to read about. Until then, I'm just going to continue following celebs, and hoping that I'll have something to contribute to the ever-important world of Twitter...
