The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me - Brand New.
I love the title of this album. I think that everyone does battle with these inner demons. I can say that I'm no exception. Some days it feels like there is no winner and my insides want to come out. Anyhow it's my #1 Musical Obsession right now! Did you catch that mini-fixation? AHA! I'm still stuck on it too, but thankful for other musical distractions... Listening to Billie Holiday on the Public Enemies Soundtrack. AMAZING!. My apologies to those around me for all the chain listening. I can not HELP it. Once more will not be enough! Actually I've been listening to Brand New since April? May? after one of my musical family members introduced me to it. Thanks kid! And sadly, my intensity for it grows more and more every day. I know the words like I know my bank account #s. Ridiculous. This one is a dark, very dark sinister obsession. Lyrically, it's probably one of my more extreme musical ones yet. It's inspired some pretty f****d up stories. Two, to be exact. But who's counting?
(*Sidebar: To the person who caught a rough glimpse of one of those twisted ideas, thank you for keeping it to yourself & under wraps. Especially when you know you wanted to run screaming. kisses.)
I don't honestly know if that particular 'idea' will see the light of day anytime soon. It didn't rip me in two, like I thought, but I did spend 45 minutes balling my eyes out as I wrote that one. But I can't react like normal people to this. I've bonded with this album and it has made a mental impact on me. Emotionally connected. I know you think I've lost my head... Maybe I have? Besides, I've got a new fixation.... percolating in the back of my mind. It will manifest soon. I'm just looking for the right medium to convey it. enjoy. kisses. m.
