*Music: Life, Passion, Sorrow.
what does music mean to you? is it a form of entertainment? or is it just radiowaves with pretty sounds and melodies? or is it a message from somekind of alien lifeform?
music. one of the few important things in my life. numero uno being Shiffa Aziha Bte Daud. music is a passion to me. though it sometimes bring forth anger, sorrow and hatred. something that i've noticed through the course of performing at gigs with Obscure Phionix; people of the same passion as us, stick together. i was impressed with the level of simplicity to make friends with these kind of people. all you need is one gig, a brave front and something to talk about - for instance the current gig you're at. seriously, i've met more people than the last six years in just six months. don't believe me? i used to be a loner. my "posse" was compromised of a brain-damaged sloth, an anime-crazed being and a lazy music lover. that was it. that was secondary school. in ITE? no difference than secondary school. the first year was alright. second year sucks. yes, it sucks. all the people i've trusted went inside a deadlocked room and left me outside. please, to all those people who judge me by looking at me and how i dress/act, fuck off. you're not needed in my life.
back to music. the first feeling - anger. take Punkrock VS Metal a group of metalheads. i mean serious metalheads with tattoos and thick boots. beat up an annoying stare punk artiste. and i'm not saying punkrock. i'm saying pure punk. he was beaten up just because he stares at people the wrong way. he did that to me once and i just didn't care.
the second - sorrow. what if your band is faced with loads of problems that couldn't be solved. the last thing the band could do, depature. disbandment. so many bands ended up the same way. i just couldn't make out why they couldn't just get someone new or ask an old friend or something. take the Beatles, the were great as a band. come their disbandment, i could say that each of their solo careers sucked. there's one band or should i say boyband that keeps on going. even with solo careers and what not, and they are - the Backstreet Boys. i know, lame. i've been listening to them since i was little. they've been together for more than ten years. amazing.
the third - hatred. i just can't bear people who come up with music wars. such as hiphop vs rock. old vs new. pop vs metal. what the hell is going on? i'm disgusted with people who look at other's music differently.
well. i guess i'll stop here. tomorrow is Singapore's birthday. Happy Birthday Singapore. tomorrow is Metalcore United's day. i guess. nothing confirmed yet. MAN! GIVE ME A MESSAGE ON WHAT TIME TO MEET!
hell, i'm going insane. again.
insanely yours,
Qhai.

*In Nervousness.
why you ask? cause tomorrow is the Metalgodz gig. damn. i'm so nervous i could pee in pants. ok, so we're performing at Gas Haus tomorrow. 4.30pm. the gig starts at 2pm or 3pm i guess. well, it's a BIG gig and i heard reviews will be given. double damn. enough about Metalgodz.
i'm currently aching. my shoulders, my neck and my back. what the fuck? i guess that's from the jamming i had just now. talking about jamming: my side-project needs a second vocalist for clean (goring will be a plus). we're playing all *-core music. be it metalcore, deathcore, emocore, screamocore, spongebobcore or fuckcore. haha. okay, i'm serious, with the addition of Khair aka Nokz in the band we're touching on emocore/screamo too. if you want to know, i'm the vocalist. i want to touch on Job For A Cowboy, damn it. we need a second vocalist, and we need that vocalist fast.
oh yeah, the Mosh Pit Volume 1 gig was awesome. first time we saw the crowd did sledgehammers during our set.
other than that, on the day after Singapore's National Day, will be freakinlyMINE and mine's 10th monthsary. oh, how i love her so. we lasted this long and we'll last longer. and in two months, will be out first anniversary. our first year. my longest relationship yet. freakinlyMINE, if you're reading this, i love you.
okay, i'll update as soon as i get hold on a computer. alright, kiddos? see you all.
insanely yours,
Qhai.
