i wonder why it is that i feel differently about of monsters and men compared to gorillaz

i remember how i first explored omam

looking up a song i suddenly recalled

dirty paws

the video was interesting enough

i watched more

little talks

a song i had already listened to

then king and lionheart

slow and steady

sloom

lakehouse

yellow light

love love love

i liked these songs so i downloaded both albums on spotify

without listening to the second one

beneath the skin

i remember every track in order for beneath the skin

crystals- a lovely rhythm which inspired condor of SM

human- one that definitely grew on me, inspiring 'the watchman' of SM

hunger- one that i grew to love- partially inspiring sparrow, but mostly lodging itself forcefully into my slowly breaking heart and sticking

wolves without teeth- one that i can only describe in broken sentences- toxic rhythm, lethal, dance with death

empire- hands-down where maxim was purely borne from- imagining the cover of 'the golden compass', imagining rain clinging to maxim's back as he takes her to someplace in the last frontier, with a breathtaking view

slow life- the only track i didn't like. tedious. boring beat. boring rhythm. boring tempo. boring dynamics, boring boring boring. slow. five minutes.

organs- lovely. sad. like most of the tracks i'm not so incredibly sure what emotion this brings out the most. beautiful violin or maybe cello towards the end, tied with the tired, depressing lyrics. that was a broken sentence that stopped too soon because thinking about the song too much gets me confused. like fractals and colors outside of the spectrum

black water- the first beneath the skin song i heard not counting crystals in' the good dinosaur' trailer. brings out emotions and i cannot describe it well. it is clearly about anxiety attacks- however, bearing in mind the info that oak of SM is scared of water and drowning, i vaguely shaped the plot of water veil.

thousand eyes- intense. cover art is pretty. the loud music swell taking up most of the song and the lyric video actor's manic behavior indicates insanity or schizophrenia

i of the storm- so many emotions. anxiety. depression. water is relentless. my most listened to spotify song last year

we sink- shares name of arcade fire song. was confused at first by this. cover art pretty. nice rhythm, composed and calm enough but not very sleep-inducing.

backyard- base for thessalia of SM. the song indicates so many things. the uneven pace and oddly calming sounds are relaxing but i fear falling asleep to it.

winter sound- beautiful. loud. about love. not breakups or drama or cheating or any of that bull. but true, loyal, pure love.

some lyrics from the songs

Crystals

Lost in skies of powdered gold, caught in clouds of silver ropes

showered by the empty hopes, as I tumble down

falling fast to the ground

-

Human

Cage me like an animal, a crown with gems and gold

Eat me like a cannibal, chase the neon throne

Breathe in, breathe out, let the human in

Breathe in, breathe out, let it in

-

Hunger

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you

Voices disappear, when you are speaking in sombre tunes

I will be the wolf, and when you're starving you'll need it too

Hungry for the kill, but this hunger, it isn't you, it isn't you, it isn't

-

Wolves Without Teeth

Open my chest and color my spine, I'm giving you all

I'm giving you all

Swallow my breath and take what is mine, I'm giving you all

I'm giving you all

-

Empire

And from the rain, there's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you, illuminate

There's a river running wild that will create

An empire for you, an empire for two

An empire for you, an empire for two

-

Slow Life

-

Organs (longer)

And I take, off my face, 'cause it reminds me how it all went wrong

And I pull, out my tongue, 'cause it reminds me how it all went wrong

And I cough, up my lungs.. 'cause they remind me how it all went wrong

But I leave...

In my heart, 'cause I don't want to stay in the dark

-

Black Water

Swallowed by a vicious, vengeful sea, o-o-o-oh

Darker days are raining over me, o-o-o-oh

In the deepest depths, I lost myself, o-o-o-oh

I see myself through someone else

-

Thousand Eyes (two for this one- one at the beginning and one at the end)

Undo this storm, undo this sto-orm, undo this storm, and wait

I lay awake and watch it all, it feels like a thousand eyes...

...

I am the storm, I am the sto-orm, I am the storm, so wait

-

We Sink

We are the sleepers, we bite our tongues

We set the fire and we let it burn

Through the dreamers we hear the hum- come on, come on, let's go

So come on, come on, let's go

-

Backyard

See how my mountains turn, from blue to black, from white to grey

I'm a bird and the broken one

The drops illuminate, and evaporate into a neon lake

I'm a beast and the vicious one

-

Winter Sound

You and I will not be sha-ken!

By the winter sound

But my voice is suf-o-cat-ing!

In the winter sound

-

thinking and thinking and thinking...

my blogpost should be taken into custody now...

i urge you to try one- it can be just one- of these songs, if you are interested

there is also the older album to check out (my head is an animal)

i am tired

good morrow
