How does a song from the above artist...

moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 4:26 PM ...relate to your life?? Here's what you do: Post a song from the artist above you that has meaning towards your life Include the song link and then a description as to why you picked it. Post maybe a couple lyrics from the song that you can relate to... If there are no lyrics, describe what the sound of the music reminds you of, having to do with YOUR life. Let's make this a personal thread, a thread that we can use to get to know eachother even more! I don't know about any of you, but I love these topics because I love learning more about eachother than just random, pointless shit (even though that's always fun ) So, example: Person below me would be like: (and no I'm not trying to whore my shit ) ======================================== Trust No More http://moam.dmusic.com/music/comments/354020 I can relate to this song because recently I had a nasty break up with my girl friend. She totally betrayed me when I found her fuckin' with another guy. I feel like I will never be able to trust again and this song basically describes just that. "...because of you I trust no more." Well, obviously, it was because of her that I find it so hard to trust ANYONE. "...that bitch move you pulled caused me nothing but pain..." Again, my anger totally adds up to this line right here. ======================================== Give criticism or compliment the track you are writing about IF YOU WANT, but this topic is more about YOU than the person's track. *We all want to know more about YOU!!! We already made our opinion on how good/bad the song is from hearing it, but we want to know WHY you picked it* Some of us have come here for years, yet still remain a mystery to a lot of DM'ers, so now is the time to let loose and explain to everyone exactly who you are! Share funny, sad, angry, confusing stories/situations to us all you want because the more you explain, the more we will know about you! Also keep in mind, I really encourage keeping these responses as long as you can, because these responses should be very heart-felt or important to you. Anyways, lets try it out!
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 4:30 PM One last thing: This is another opportunity to get those artists who have like no recognition out there, seeing as the next person to post HAS to post about the person ABOVE them. Do not list some random track from DM that you have always really loved from say, bill rhynes (sorry for picking on you bill ). Let everybody get a chance to be noticed musically, as well as personally. Let this be a wicked-enjoyable topic!! So the first person to start, will pick one of my 5,000 tracks and talk about how it relates to their life.
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 4:34 PM *Also, so everybody can be included, if a user with no music posts about the above artist, how about the user/artist below them can pick any song from dmusic, from any artist. That way, active people like Shadowmom, rh and ghost...etc can still participate if they choose.*
Dexter	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 4:53 PM I can see Away In A Manger made a big impression on you then...
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 4:55 PM On 23rd Oct 2012, rhthesinner said: I can see Away In A Manger made a big impression on you then... Dude, stick to the topic Let's try again
Israfel	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 6:44 PM Okay, as a long time moam fan I had a hard time deciding which song since I think he has a song for as many different moods as I seem to have. One song, Chaotic Heart, has a pretty deep meaning for me. http://moam.dmusic.com/music/comments/354114 I work with people who have been diagnosed with some mental illness and, normally, it's a very rewarding job. A couple of days before I heard this song for the first time, one of the people I worked with lost his fight with the demons in his head. He was found hanging in his garage. There are many clinical explanations for schizophrenia and all of them are, I suppose, correct. But when you know someone who has it, and see them battling it day in and day out, you see that there is more than just a misfiring brain. The illness goes deep and after working with the mentally ill for many years, I have come to believe that it not only effects the brain but it takes a toll on the heart. This song touched me because it seems to touch on what I believe about mental illness and the total chaos people who are diagnosed have to live with on a daily basis. It may not have been moam's intent to write a song that addressed that but, on that day, feeling that loss of that dear man, this is what I got out it. And that's why I chose it! Thanks moam!
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 6:56 PM Wow What a sad, touching experience Well I was digging through Israfel's collection, finding what song I thought touched me the most, through feeling AND lyrics, and this one stood out to me hands down: "Conscience Is Clean (with the Rev and Tim Sanders)" http://israfel.dmusic.com/music/comments/359848 To me, this one is about never regretting anything and using it as a total learning experience instead. I have been going through a very painful situation for the past year or so, resulting in a lot of angry music (not that thats a bad thing ) and actually a major loss in the trust of people in general. This song basically seems to focus on the future and not looking back in regret. Instead, take every barrier you cross over and a learning experience, and that seems to be what I am having the most trouble with. Instead of not regretting, I have found myself more angry and hateful than I have ever been sometimes. Heh, people suck. "I've reached the point of no return no going back, now, there's no going back So many lessons I've yet to learn and I won't know until my conscience is clear." This relates to me soooo much, since once you go a certain route, there's no turning back, only making the best of whatever you are in the middle of. Those lines in her song is pretty much how I am thinking. "I took the risk when I made the choice live with the consequence I deny the existence of regret it's the cause and effect of it all." Here as well...I made the risk, something evolved and I got myself in the sticky situation, now I will make the best of it and turn it into a very positive thing Anywho, great track guys, great singing Mary, great message
Tattoomom	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:25 PM http://moam.dmusic.com/music/stream/hifi/262481/.b0551e39/stream.m3u NOTHING.... Okay...so who doesn't have a horrific story about betrayal. Truthfully we all probably do...it's one of the things we draw on. A lot of you know about me from being the other half of Bill Rhynes and that we dated way back 20 years ago as well...what you may not know is that in the interim years I was married for about 17 years....enough said?!?! Let's just say he wasn't the same in real life as he was in my mind... I love the lyrics in this song...mostly because they sound like something I would have written right out of that (and many other) dark eras....They really encompass the betrayal...the awakening to the truth of the person you have denied all those years in order to be able to tolerate and justify the relationship... It's my favorite MOAM tune
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:42 PM Project13 http://wormscrew.dmusic.com/music/comments/340783 This has always been a favorite tune from you guys, but not only that, it could mean many things. To me, this feels like the dark side of my mind speaking to me, telling me to not care and be wicked, only seek what is pleasureful and selfish. Many times, I could have embraced this side of myself regarding situations, but giving into that voice can be the downfall of your own pride. "Deny your own reality..." I tend to give in to the line quite a bit actually... I enjoy living in my own world sometimes and maybe that could be unhealthy or a negative thing, especially when more important issues that need to be resolved are taking place. "Don't run away Today's your day Come out and play..." The ending to this song gives me the chills, I love the creepy-ass message. It's like the last straw for somebody who's on the verge of giving everything to their dark side. Excellent
GTOriginal	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:51 PM Wow, Moam, this is a very cool thread - OK I'm gonna give this a whirl, but it's also kinda difficult for me... Oh well here goes nothing... Wormscrew - The Blackest Hope http://wormscrew.dmusic.com/music/comments/358885 Between the months of October and April, I go thru a period of extreme depression, and develop the wickedest persecution complex on earth. I have a lot of mechanisms in place to deal with this, but it's always a day-to day struggle. I am only just learning to shut up and put my friendships on hold, rather than destroy them in imaginary self defense, as I have done many times before. A work in progress. Anyway... Without getting any further into a bunch of "oh poor me" crap I will say that the lines in this song sum up my general feelings to a T. My feet are dragging on the ground And I don't have a single friend around I walk on through my day and I just go on... You show the world all your lies And you never look them in the eyes They try to cut you down to size But you just go on... Really it's the whole package, these lines are for example only. Funny how I commented on this (in August) and pretty much kept it about the music (which is always first class). If I listened now, I'd be blown away, but likely to keep my remarks to myself. Many Thanks to Crystal & Bill.
GTOriginal	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:51 PM Damnit, the danger of out-of-sequence posting.
Israfel	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:52 PM I'm gonna go again because I have another moam song! This Black http://moam.dmusic.com/music/comments/354566 True Story: Many, many years ago, I had a little dog named Dudley. He liked to sleep on my bed right up next to my legs every night. One night, in a half asleep, half awake state, I think I started to have a nightmare. I could hear all these whispered voices in the dark of my room but I couldn't make out what they were saying. And something was pressing very hard on my legs making it almost impossible for me to move them. I got the feeling of something really bad being in the room with me but being half asleep I thought that Dudley was just pressing against me. I struggled to get fully awake, all the while, the whispers got louder and louder. Finally, I managed to give one good shove of my legs against what I thought was my dog. And I woke up. Dudley was no where near me. In fact, he wasn't even on the bed. He was laying on the rug sleeping soundly. The room felt really cold and I was totally freaked out. I had to go and sleep in the living room...with a light on. The first time I heard "This Black" all those same feelings of being completely scared out of my mind came back to me. "But I'm still alive And I'll never fuckin' die Finally he stomps me I got no more body He clenches my soul in his fists, __[I can't even move] __I only feel the wrath of this blackness I can't take this, just wake me up!!" This is EXACTLY how I felt! The thing is, I like being scared. I love horror movies and pretty much all of the dark side of life, but this was a little too freaky, and real, even for me!
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:53 PM don't worry about it, these things are bound to happen in threads like this everyone will still get a chance to have a song compared to their life
Israfel	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:53 PM Oops! We're all outta sync here now!
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 7:54 PM Next post is goes to *********** GTOriginal ***********
DeadraveN	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 8:29 PM For the record, I'm up way past my bedtime, so if this post is full of typos and misspellings, bite me. This Song- by Gary Tucker http://gtoriginal.dmusic.com/music/comments/359527 I've loved this one since I first heard it, and have listened to it probably every day since. The ever changing chord progressions and the little leads stitching in and outjust seem right in tune with the general mood I've been in lately, kind of in flux, but always feeling like I'm heading somewhere I want to be... Lyrically, the song is very poetic, encompassing a broad range of imagery and feelings.. Two little couplets from the song: "It's all about feelings, it's all about dreams, Pretty Girl kisses, and spiders, and screams" and then "It's all about nightmares it's all about bliss Roaches on your birthday cake, sweetness in your kiss" have stuck with me, not just for their poetry, but for more personal reasons as well.. Anyone who knows me well knows that I have very vivid and graphic dreams, mostly ghastly violent nightmares, and have for years (the cause of which is a little too personal to go into here..) but I try my best to maintain a sense of humour about it all.. and for the last two years or so it's all been made a lot easier thanks to a certain someone.. a Pretty Girl with her "sweetness in her kiss".. and for me this song, already musically in step with my outlook on life, sums up the spectrum of my daily (nightly?) life.. all the highs and lows of it... and yes, Gary, I'm still working on that cover
Mojosnake	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 8:42 PM o.k. a turn for the streaker gets naked TOUCH [touch]http://deadraven.dmusic.com/music/comments/342886[/touch]
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 8:45 PM Why did you pick Touch, Mojo? How does it relate to you? Don't pick your favorite track...pick the one you feel can relate to something in your life...and TELL us a little about it. Talk about it in like a paragraph. ********************************* Next musician to post will NO be to me, it will be to mojosnake *********************************
Mojosnake	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 8:50 PM damnit..... i thought i was pressing the preview button ... i relate alot to this song ... it makes me think about the ending of my relationship with my wife.... these lines pretty much sum up how i felt trying to keep something together that was slowly disintagrating.. "Tell me the truth or don't say anything. Don't try to sheild me with your soft lies Don't try to hide behind the safety that we've known I can see the longing for the truth in your eyes. We've all known angels, and we know they're not real, but some of us let go, wanting something we feel, wanting something we can touch and something we can see I've found all of this now I just wish that you'd want me rebellious souls we both feel the same this loveless passion without a name has brought us together never to sever hoping this middleground lasts forever"
ShadowMom	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 10:05 PM
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 11:57 PM Dizeazed - Run Away http://dizeazed.dmusic.com/music/comments/259953 I have always loved this track but more than that, it reminded me of a friend of mine who ran away from home when she was only about 15. She lived on her own for about a year and became homeless, then went back and lived with her parents. Since that moment, her and her family became closer than they ever had been before. It seems like when bad things happen, it always brings people you care about closer to you in your life because something else related to that happened to me as well. "And everybody says that in God we trust But the only ones I see pray are those who fucked up" Wow, 2 strong powerful lines that totally make me think of how fucked up the world is sometimes. This, to me, is one of the deepest, most impressive lyrical tracks I have ever heard. Not only can I relate to some of the lyrics, but the feelings it gives off remind me of some of my own past as well.
moam	Date: October 23, 2007 @ 11:59 PM by the way, I picked a random song from a random artist because shadowmom doesn't have any music displayed. Like I already stated above, if a person without music posts, the next person can just pick whatever artist he/she wants.
HenriRoger	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 5:21 AM This thread is very nice
officernarc	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 8:37 AM woo...my turn. well, i don't think that anything by henri roger has necessarily affected my life, as much as i've been musically influenced by some of his pieces which have mainly inspired me to become a better musician.
moam	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 9:18 AM officernarc: Please list a specific piece and describe how it relates to your life. I'm sure he's very curious how his music impacts you. If you haven't heard too much of his, I recommend checking out a couple more songs, maybe read some lyrics, just analyze a piece and tell us how it can relate to you. And thanks Henri I figured this would go pretty decent, it gives everybody a chance to express their true self. Pretty fun and exciting
realmedia	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 2:35 PM ok well moam~ i was trying to collab with another artist on dmusic and by mistake i had downloaded moams track "oceanwind" apon listenng to the music~ i got a sense of a really profound happining~ and started to cry~ the piano in that track is so amazing beautiful that it just tore me apart~ so since i did not realize it was moams track i started to write out the words and the vocal melody~ and i came up with this story about a man whos wife is leaving him,and his family means everything to him, and she comes to get thier child-2year old- and her stuff~ a nasty break up~ so the man is devastated~ emotionally mentally etc~ and about twenty minutes after his family leaves he gets a profound feeling of something happened so he finds out that they were killed in a car accident as they were driving up the coast~the title for the track is ocean wind and in the song i sing about how thier souls were carried off to heaven by the ocean wind~ so i am sure this has happened before to someone somewhere~ how did it impact me~ it inspired me to write from the heart and soul of which i do anyway~ but this was different that piece of music moam wrote~ got me upset when i realized the story of the song i mean serious it had a profound effect on my emotions~ and even tho i had not intended to collab with moam thats kinda what happened~ the sound of the music describes to me pertfectly the death of someone very close to you~ and for me~ it descirbes how i felt when i lost my mother in 1999 she helped me out in so many ways~ and i will always love her but its literally like she was there one day and gone the next~ we had a arguement a pretty bad one ,,one week before that happened~ and i was devostated~ i shut down emotionally for a whole year after that becuz i felt i had be strong for the rest of the family~ so yeah that track is the most prfoundly sad and hauntinly beautifull track i have ever heard and by the way thier was a veiwing at my mothers fuineral~ and i highly dissapproved of that i did not want to see her dead~ but i was strong and i made it thru all of that~and my mom is my hero~ she gave me strenght and she is my now~
realmedia	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 2:37 PM oh and not to forget~ the man in the story kills himself later that night after he found out they were dead~
celtaidd	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 4:13 PM http://israfel.dmusic.com/music/comments/290600 Lyrically, I dont know, because I never really take them in. Its more the effect that the vocals bring to the tune. This track is full of emotion. There are, to me, anyway, two sides to love . The joy and the pain . This track, to me , is the pain of missing the one you love. They may be only in the next room, but.... Well you know what I mean. Even now, married for 23 years, I still feel it. So in effect this track reminds me of why I love Nerys (Ner) my wife
moam	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 5:06 PM Make sure you're rating the artist ABOVE you, not just some random artist with a song you like. This isn't the "underrated", "lets name every artist in my shoutbox" topic. ********************************************* Next person to comment, make sure it goes to realmedia *********************************************
celtaidd	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 6:37 PM My shame knows no bounds, I am, prostrate on your forgiveness May Allah/God/ furbles, be my witness. My comments stand, though the order I put them in, may be open to interpretation
moam	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 8:55 PM Seriously though, if people just pick random artists, other artists who want to take part in this will be left out, which is why I say that. This topic isn't the "most underrated artist" topic where you just list a bunch of random DM-ers. Please stick to the rules of the topic for others, not for me. I created this so that we can all explore other artists instead of sticking to the same ones again and again and again.
moam	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 9:05 PM Since realmedia was skipped, I will choose one his songs, one that really stuck to me, his recent work "yer not there" http://johnwilliams.dmusic.com/music/comments/361114 The lyrics stuck with me completely. The stuck to my heart like a damn magnet. Heh, this was totally how I felt after my horrid break up last year. The anger in the line, "you're not fucking there" is just powerful...I can hear the anger, just bleeding out of the words. With the stalking lines, I have been stalked once Let me tell you, its a very creepy, uncomfortable feeling. Especially when the psycho girl comes to your work, all dressed up, and just stares at you in the eyes, instead of actually talking. She came to "visit" me but instead just stood there staring at me while I was trying to think of things to talk about. Then I got creeped out and just stopped trying, and I think after I just ignored her completely, she got the fucking picture I havent seen her since then, but she still creeps me out, like for example: she left a little "doodle" for me in facebook that said "love" quite recently. And just...wow...creepy. Very very scary. Anyways, great song dude, you got a powerful voice
ShadowMom	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 9:48 PM Oh poo... I never get to have any fun anymore! I KNOW!! Rules! We have rules!
moam	Date: October 24, 2007 @ 9:48 PM Just...wow http://t2.dmusic.com/music/comments/360652 "Summer Snowfall" This was an instrumental, so there are no words I can really relate to, but the beauty of this damn track is sooooo intense It actually sort of reminds me of being out in the wilderness, completely secluded, like the trips I have taken with a couple of my good friends. It just reminds me a lot of nature and the beautiful outdoors. Thanks a lot celtaidd for the pleasant flashback I really needed that
Tattoomom	Date: October 26, 2007 @ 9:52 AM If I understand the "rules" right I can pick anybody now because MOAM was just filling in where somebody got skipped? Anyway... http://kieth.dmusic.com/music/comments/318896 Kieth Rodarte: Love A Lot Like Dying I think this is one of my favorite songs on Dmusic...the first time I heard it I was just mesmerized. It's one of those songs that, when you hear it, you wish you had written it... Everything about it just appeals to me ... the darkness ... the anger ... the lyrics are beautifully stark and dramatic. I did a karaoke version of it...not as well as Kieth mind you, but that's how much I loved it! Until doing that, I didn't realize how difficult the melody line was in the song...Kieth has EXCELLENT range in his voice. Beyond all that...the song appealed to me at the time my ex had left me feeling betrayed and bereft so I dug the lyrics hardcore! Of course Bill came along again and fixed all that...but I still LOVE the song!
moam	Date: October 26, 2007 @ 11:47 AM Actually, you would have taken one of my songs...though I don't mind. The only time you can pick any song you want is when the person above you who just analyzed a track has NO MUSIC. If the person has no tunes to compare to your own life, then pick any song from any artist. Because I analyzed a song and I'm the one above you, you would look through my tracks...etc. That "pick any artist" rule is just a back up so that everybody can participate. The point of this thread is to get other artists more known and to let other people know you better. Its basically an expression thread. That's why its important to not pick any song you want...cause what about the artist who posts in here in hopes that someone will take a little bit of time and look over his/her tracks and maybe put some thought into them? Lets involve everybody in this forum. Let's keep 'er comin' ******************************* Next track analysis goes to Tattoomom or Wormscrew ******************************* She was the last to analyze a track
evansorchid	Date: October 26, 2007 @ 2:19 PM Let’s see if I can express this right. The music of Wornscrew fronted by the fantastic vocalist and lyricist Crystal A.K.A. Tattoomom absolutely sends shivers down my spine. The imagery of her words is complimented perfectly by the intensity of the music. There was a video that they created probably a year ago that I watched and it gave me nightmares for weeks. It was in black and white and basically had them walking in a field or forest or something, but the feeling I got from that video stuck with me. I felt like she had opened up a deep hidden part of my unconsciousness and exposed my deepest fears for all the world to see. I love listening to her voice. Her vocal inflections cut me to the core with a familiarity that is frightening. Like a suppressed memory from my childhood, or like a prophecy of doom that will happen in the future, the vocal style of Tattoomom is something to be experienced and cherished and conquered.
Tattoomom	Date: October 26, 2007 @ 3:27 PM wow! thanks! I'm not sure I feel worthy of that review but ... wow!
moam	Date: October 26, 2007 @ 4:46 PM *********************************** Next analysis goes to evansorchid ***********************************
