Oh yes, about The Calling, it sucks that even the song that first made them a success isn't on Launch.
I have AIM.. maybe if i'm lucky, we'd talk.

cool.. it's hard to find people who likes classical music.. (i dont like it..) and i always try to "like" it but been to three concerts and in most of them, i slept half way thru or felt so irritated.
: /
now that i know you like classical music, im really curious to know why and what classical musicians are there, now, that you listen to? theres so little info about classical music...and so few fans..and the only classical band i know is just "Bond".

What I consider classical isn't necessarily a genre of music. I'm more into the process in which music is created and the purpose behind it. I'll use an interesting metal group as an example to explain what I mean. Three (previously four) chelloists created a Metalica cover band who uses innovative bow techniques to emulate vocals, instruments, and precussion (to an extent). They're called Apocalyptica. What I'm getting at is that music is constantly reaching new levels in style and grace. Classical music by my definition is any artist who does not forget the rules, but will take strides to standardize or create new rules to the classic composition. The most famous classical musicians, Bach, Chopan (sp?), and Beethoven, became that way because of the orchistrated power and confidence that is present in their music. They translated emotion into something so splendid the rich and powerful would lower their heads to its awe and the meager would look high to try and understand its divinity. The ability for music to change or evoke emotion is a classical understanding.
Alright, enough of my babbling and I think it's time I answered more of your questions:
The only real classical I listen to is the old-heads and Apocalyptica (ever since they started doing original work), but I try and get a feel for what bands are fearless of music and use it classically (like Queen, very innovative).
I hope I've explained anything. I'll look into "Bond" because I havn't heard of him/them.
I'm learning about lyrical power now because I've been so bent on the power behind abstract thought medians such as the raw music, so I'm pretty interested in what you have to say about music. What do you consider something to be when it's worth listening to?
I also want to say you write with very strong emotion and you obviously have an eye for style. Thank you for checking my Deviant profile! It means a lot to actually make some friends here. With some more I probably won't feel so small, but I need to start putting up more work to grab attention.
Where are some good places in the forum? Also I'm part of a poetry group in college and I was wondering, say I really like a piece you've done, could I read your work out loud? I would give credit where it is due of course, but I have to ask
Peace! Keep in touch.
as a child, and still am now, i am just curious to find out, curious to know why. my mom and dad always shuts me up, irritated. thats why when i saw that you liked classical music, i wanted to find out why. cuz it's mighty hard to find someone who feels for that genre of music. which personally, i have tried a lot to like, but failed miserably.
maybe it's because i am not blessed with musical talents. i tried the keyboard for a year, but couldnt play a song. i tried the guitar, but broke a string before my first tune. it seems like a depressing way to tell myself, "leave music alone, but listen and find out".
What do you consider something to be when it's worth listening to?
Most of the time, I tell my friends, I can't be bothered about the genre. Every style of music has something to offer to the arts, I guess. I follow my feelings and emotions. When I feel sad, I'd probably either listen to those ballads, and when I feel happy, I listen to house/disco/techno music. Because when Im happy, I can't be bothered to think about its lyrical content. I am not ashamed to say I own some *N Sync records, just because I admire their dance talents. It's not that i wanna sleep with them, but that's what teens are doing now.. saying "eminem sux" , "50 cents raps crap" and "insertbandname sucks!" maybe it's considered cool, or just the way they wish to get their point straight. but it's not my way. I have my "seasons". One month I might be all about punk. Another I might be all about parodies, and covers. The month after the other, I'm all about european dance music and all about disco. I'm one big mess, just because I don't wish to restrict myself of anything.. like, try to experience everything.
But when I'm feeling neutral, I would love to hear music with relatable lyrical content, great instruments and equipment play, emotions and efforts put into it, and of course, an admirable vocalist would be nice
I am voted the most "fussiest" and the "pickiest" girl in the class. But most of them come to me for opinions. Maybe I am almost open-minded not to bash anything up, and always have reasons for liking or not liking something without being abusive? i dunno. its up to them, i dont care.
Where are some good places in the forum?
Personally to me, either the current issue, or help with life. (sshh, i always want to know people's problems..and look at the solutions given, then maybe apply that if i face the same thing.. u know, it will probably save me time in the future
Yes, print out my "poetry" (oh gosh, I dont think they are) and if you hate it, feel free to burn it
Peace! as always

Be you 15 or 150, I believe strongly in listening to the person's adult inside. It's hard to find an inner adult because so many people fear growing up. Questions I have asked myself: Who knows if growing will make me into something horrible? What if I'm already grown up and changing will just make me worse? How am I even supposed to grow?
It's been really hard, going on 19 years now, without a role model. The closest thing I've ever had to it is a close family friend (who I was named after), and my older sister. Situations just got crazy over time and it didn't help that I wasn't willing to listen. I HAVE to find things out on my own because I know I can understand and nobod lets me do it. Schooling held my hand either too much or too little, so why not shut it and everything else out completely? Too much shit to deal with really. Excuse the swearing it's just part habbit and part of the language I've chosen to be my own.
I'm really glad that you've seen depth in my thought and have a sense for weighing people's opinions and ideas/ideals. If it'd help you out I'm constantly around to listen and answer questions based on my observations on life.
Hehe... music is pretty silly when you get to know it well enough. My strings break all the time (it's part your fault and the make of the strings). Don't let things like that keep you down or out. Learn the lingo involved with music, understand the way it's written, and lastly figure out the math behind it. If you don't want to learn the lingo you can make your own. Try to at least make it synonymous with words that define sound so people know what's going on, but allow tones to seed themselves with emotion. You sound as is your mood would help you figure out how to describe music.
About all that self worth stuff... I've done everything to feel at home in my skin, on this planet, and in this reality. But to what end was I really seaching for the right answer? Belonging is a title you give to yourself. Things either feel right or they don't (personal comfort rules all). Knowing what bothers you can allow you to understand the world around you a lot better, but being affected by it is just weakness. All people need to overcome that weakness at some point. My mother (going into her late 40s) is just ridding herself of this weakness, and my father is throwing off the influence from his parents. So... ways of life can be absorbed, but you have to know what to take in and what to learn from (as if it were a mistake).
Now I'm rambling! Have a great afternoon, peace.
