"Bring Me To Life" |
single |
Sorry for the way this started. I do have a favorite band. They're three women from Japan named Moeka, Yurika and Hiroa, and the band's name is the Japanese translation of "sheep literature". The music is slightly sad, but in a hopeful way, and that's something you'll learn to like without unlearning how to like heavy metal. |

"Running Up That Hill" |
OLN Goes 80's 2 |
We thought that the thing we had to do was get to the top of somewhere and offer something irreplaceable in exchange for something impossible from someone invisible; that that was what the songs were about, the triumph or failure of these ardent ascents. But we get to the top of the hill and there's no ethereal bazaar of redemption, no last night, no finality. It's just a hill with a road leading up it. As a song, it was glorious. As a destination, it's underwhelming. The road is more interesting than the hill, really, if we aren't running too fast to notice. And we're tired from the running, and there's nothing up here. So we turn around and walk back down to everything: songs, people, roads, the unresolved, all still waiting there expectantly where we left them, knowing we would return, hoping. |

The only real question was who would get to it first. First to Eleven? The Animal in Me? Dima Lancaster? AmaLee taking a break from game themes? TeraBrite making a comeback? |
