Different mood swings

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Fri, 31 Oct 2014 23:38:00 +0000

So what are these mood swings..?
Why so many different mood swings..?

From anger to sadness..from happiness to excitement to completely being dead..

There must be some explanation somewhere..until I find the explanation..I'll keep wandering these dark moods and happy times..

I watched this nice romantic comedy..Silver Linings Playbook..a great watch..must say..much better than those stupid non funny hollywood crap..gave me something to think about..could have been a bit better though..well but that goes for everything doesn't it?..could have..would have..ifs and buts..
Anyways it lifted my mood up..started thinking positive after a series of bad thoughts and mood swings..but then..a song completely changed it back to that angry frustrated me. Right now my mood is hanging between..all that anger and trying to find a bit of peace..

*Rime of the ancient mariner playing in the background*..this isn't the song I was talking about though..This shit's awesome..

Anyways it's back to that vicious circle that I usually talk about and all those mood swings did leave me for a while (2 hours) but they are back again..hence this post..

Anyways hope tomorrow is a new day..Until next time.

Confusing state of affairs..Until you Find Greatness

So you sometimes wonder why everything is so confusing.
Why nothing makes sense. And when you think of such things, hell no!..it's the start of another vicious circle.
A circle that will not end..it will never end. Really?..Then why do they say that nothing is permanent?
You thought you couldn't do this and that but then you finally did it.. Didn't you? Was is so easy? HELL NO!!
But in the end you were able to do it..you did it..in the end..

So why are you so confused?
I know things don't make sense right now but they will...yes they always do..
Do they?Always?Really?
Err I'm not a philosopher so I don't know the answer to this question, sorry, but for now you have to think that they will. Yes they bloody will!

Because.. You weren't born to be weak..were you?
You have that strength within you..That inner strength that will take you to greatness..in your own way..you didn't come into this world to seek greatness in this world ..you have to be great in your own right way..Greatness that gives you satisfaction and the will to fight.. every time you fall..you get up again and fight!..yes fight your demons..NOW!

You will not..will NOT let things get the better of you..They have in the past, yes, but ha! not this time. It's the rise of the better, bigger, stronger you. Greatness is around the corner..you just have to reach there..Will it be easy..?..No.. but to hell with it..you will get there eventually because you're so damn inspired while writing this that you will...get there..

Random Thoughts

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sun, 31 Aug 2014 13:37:00 +0000

Here in the darkness you lay..melancholy surrounds you..for the one timid moment that seemed less nervous and less frightening..alas that moment was not to be.

You dream about disappearing, about a far away land where you'll finally find some solace and peace..but that dream had to be shattered into pieces.

Darkness is your home..and home is the place to be...to rest, to lay down, to be content and to be fulfilling and fighting your inner apprehensions..yes..you're home..but are you really?

For all these thoughts remain etched in your mind..but for how long?

How long will you keep fighting the demons in your head?
How long will you keep singing the same old song?
How long will you keep making the same old mistakes?

That's the question that begs to be answered this time.

So, while answering these questions, stuff starts to flash across your mind..the laughs, the incredibly soothing and peaceful times, the merry making and a few poetic lines.....

Will you leave the darkness this one time? Your friend 'melancholy' shouts to you.."Don't leave me!"

But you will..yes you will..for you live in a damn society where darkness and your friend don't fit in..they simply don't!

This is reality..People might be somewhere else..someone else..but you are still here..That's not fair you scream..You'll be back..the world will see the incredible strength within you and you will prove to them that you are who you are!...you are what you were meant to be! and...

So is it time to leave the darkness once and for all?..once and for all?..are you sure?..

No you're not..even I'm not...so let's leave it at that and enjoy the reality that you finally..are..able..to..breathe.....

Music = life

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 16:44:00 +0000

In my music collection there's a song for almost every mood, every situation, almost anything you can think of.. Be it good or bad...from the most sad or depressing to the most happiest songs (most of them rock or metal)..it's all there and that is the reason why I love music so much..

Music's always been there..in my happy times and in my bad times...
Music feeds my soul..

From the heaviness of Slayer to the sometimes chaotic and sometimes soothing Opeth..
From the awesomeness of Iron Maiden to Mr Alexi Laiho..Children of Bodom..
From the female fronted Arch Enemy to the anger and sadness in Three Days Grace..I love it all

Well, let's admit it..Life's tough sometimes..more so for some of us because of our thinking that goes for a hell ride sometimes..it actually is difficult to describe life without music..atleast mine..

Enough for now..See ya

SAD DEPRESSING METAL SONGS Part 2

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sun, 17 Nov 2013 20:13:00 +0000

Sad Depressing Metal songs..These songs can make you sad, angry, tearful and can also sooth you, uplift you.. So I am back with another list..another depressing list..This time, again, its about metal. I present to you some of the most depressing metal songs (in my opinion, ofcourse). This is the second depressing metal song list I am making.. The first one is here..Sad Depressing metal songs part 1

So here we go..hope you like it..

Red Water (Christmas Mourning) - Type O Negative
"Wake up, it's christmas mourn
Those loved have long since gone
The stocking are hung but who cares
Preserved for those no longer there
Six feet beneath me sleep
Black lights hang from the tree
Accents of dead holly
Whoa mistletoe
(it's growing cold)
I'm seeing ghost
(I'm drinking old)
Red water
Red water
Red water chase them away "

Christmas is around the corner. Try playing this on christmas eh..This is my favorite song on the list..Everything from the beginning of the song.. to the little girl crying in the middle..to the end is absolutely beautiful and a must in my list..Ah those vocals by their frontman Peter Steele (R.I.P) fit perfectly in this song and makes it a wonderful depressing song.

Darkness Within - Machine Head
"Here in the darkness that I lay
Depression heavy in its weigh
And how my body aches to leave
To sing its final eulogy
My sons I love you evermore

And though the road beckons once more

I see the damage that I've done
In search for redemption
But I am just a broken man
Whose souls cries out to understand
How the madness shatters me
Upon the stage on bended knee
I scream out loud at skies above
That answer mute bereft in love
I struggle not to fall from grace
Or sing the hymns of my disgrace

We Build Cathredrals to our pain
Establish monuments to attain
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
Lest we drown in the darkness within"

A great song by Machine head from their album 'Unto the Locust'..MUSIC MY SAVIOR SAVE ME..Absolutely agree with these lines..Awesome band..Awesome song.

Snuff - Slipknot

"Bury all your secrets in my skin
Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins
The air around me still feels like a cage
And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again

So if you love me let me go
And run away before I know
My heart is just too dark to care
I can't destroy what isn't there"

"I only wish you weren't my friend
Then I could hurt you in the end
I never claimed to be a saint
Ooh, my own was banished long ago
It took the death of hope to let you go

So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself

And I won't listen to your shame
You ran away, you're all the same
Angels lie to keep control
Ooh, my love was punished long ago
If you still care don't ever let me know
If you still care don't ever let me know"

Slipknot isn't known for these kind of songs..sounds more like Stone Sour but I'm glad they decided to go through with this as its a beautiful song..The vocals by Corey Taylor are simply amazing.

Voice of the soul - Death

An instrumental on this list..well, yes this is a MUST in this list as it is a really awesome and sorrowful tune..Give it a listen..you won't be disappointed.

Sleepless swans - Swallow the sun

"Too late to leave, blinded by the last night

Too far, too late, too deep
To escape from the hands of this night
Winter has our hearts, it finally tore us apart

The cries of loss, ripping wings
We are frozen on the lake
So close to watch her die
But too far to leave together
This tomb of ice finally ripped us apart
We are sleepless swans, frozen on the lake

Lay down your eyes, blinded by the last night
The sun won't light them any longer
The deeper the dark, the clearer we see
Escaping death only made it stronger"

Swallow the Sun is a Finnish death/doom metal band. Not very well known. I already have too many famous bands on this list so this is a refreshing change..This song is amazing.

Eternal Tears of Sorrow - The River Flows Frozen

"Like frozen leaves
We are falling
On to the soil so barren and cold
The rays of sun
No more warming
Our hearts now so cold
Through this field
Of the withered flowers
We go still one more time
The hidden beauty
Forever gone
The river's frozen once again

So came this time
When moonlight blackened my heart:
I can't stand this pain
The chain is broken
It's tearing open my scars:
I want to feel the flame...again"

Crown of Sympathy - My Dying Bride

"See the light and feel my warm desire, run through my veins like the evening sun.
It will live but no eyes will see it.
I'll bless your name before I die.
No person in everything can shine, yet shine you did, for the world to see.

All a man hath will he give for life?
For life that's lost bleeds all over me.
I'd fallen before but it never hurt like this.
Don't leave me here to crawl through the mire."

A depressing metal song list can't be complete without a song by My Dying Bride.

Well That is it for now.. I have many more depressing metal songs with me..Maybe I'll make another list sometime soon..Here is part 1 Sad Depressing metal songs part 1

Random poem

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sun, 10 Nov 2013 19:36:00 +0000

As I sit here writing in the dark...I wonder about the people who left their mark..on me as well as my thoughts...their presence made life beautiful and sometimes brought distraught.........

People have been nice..some haven't been right...but lucky I am to have found such buddies...who have made me a hell lot steady.

So I thank all from the bottom of my heart...a hug from me as a reward ...for you all have been stars...that have shone in my life much brighter than venus and mars

A short poem I wrote off the top of my head on facebook a while back..for my friends..

What Makes Me Happy

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sun, 09 Dec 2012 20:45:00 +0000

Well all I've been writing down has been your usual depressing stuff eh..nor that it matters really does it?..Maybe someday it will..Till then I'll keep writing shit down..why? don't know why..anyways I was talking about the depressing stuff. For a change I thought I might write something about being happy and stuff like that..They say change is a must..So let's try.

So let me write down the things that make me happy..Well sometimes lots of things and sometimes nothing at all..Happens to all of us doesn't it..Enough! Let's start..

PEOPLE AROUND ME - I have such wonderful people around me be it my parents, family members, friends, online friends.. I mean its quite amazing the support you get from them or guess I'm one of the lucky ones..talking, chatting to them and just that you know that they're there for you makes me happy..

MUSIC - Just knowing that I have something to fall back upon when things don't go my way or when I'm down in the dumps..Music's always been there..Doesn't matter what the situation is..what the circumstances are..just blast those speakers or headphones with your favorite music and its all gonna be okay :)

BEING NICE - Being nice and helping others just makes me feel good..

THE TIME FACTOR - I know I have lots of free time. Well it can work out either ways as in it can be a bad thing but I do have all the time in the world to do stuff I like..

DOING THE STUFF I LIKE - Watching movies, playing games, buying new stuff(computer or music related stuff), roaming around with friends or family and just being around people I like makes me happy..

THE LUCK FACTOR - Well I've been really lucky in life to have really almost everything I need..

If I write more it'll become more of an essay so I'll leave it at that for now..If you do manage to read the post kindly comment the things that make you happy..thanks!

Second poem

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 18:29:00 +0000

A fire burns deep inside your heart

The smoke from the ashes rises far

You are made to live in this fake reality

When everybody else rejoices, you were meant to fall

This emptiness, this hatred inside you

Brings out the devil inside

Do you really wanna be someone else

Or are you content with being the failure again

Life goes on, you move ahead

You see light shining in your head

Is this gonna last forever

Or will 'You' again mess up your future

Time and time again, you tell yourself

That its all in your head

What if its not, huh?

What if, inside, you're the one whose dead..

First Poem

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sat, 03 Nov 2012 18:23:00 +0000

Howdy!
I thought I'll do something worthwhile and post something new. Its been a long time..I'll start by writing down a poem I wrote in college once..Nothing special just a simple poem i thought I'd share..Just writing it down here so that at least I remember that it was written by me and so that there is something to post..

Here it goes..
There is a ray of light
A glimpse of hope
Will you be able to pounce on it
Or will hatred again fill your soul

You try to gather strength
A brief moment of revenge
Against an evil spirit
That resides within yourself

A mountain begins to rise
But its all in your mind
Then you start to think
That you make your own life

A new day begins
Happiness still eludes you
You decide this is it
You'll start afresh and new

Suddenly the world is so beautiful
Years have passed, you've finally found a place
A place where everyone's happy
A place where you feel safe

You're roaming around happily
Gratified to the core
You decide to find the reason
Why finally, is there hope?

You can't find a reason
Anger makes you red
You decide to give up when
Suddenly you realize that now infact you're dead

Well this poem does mean something..I'll leave the explanation for some other time..Catch ya later.

So I've not been blogging much. Nothing to blog about really. Just wanted to start..again..
These days I'm on the lookout for a new amp and a pair of speakers..Old Sony ones broke down and all I have now is my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones.. Brilliant pair of headphones I must say. They've been great so far but now I need some new speakers.. Don't have a big budget so been looking at a cheap Topping Tripath amp and matching speakers. Let's see when I'll finally get them..

So lets start with a new topic (Hallowed be thy name playing right now on my headphones)
Oh that reminds me.. A few days back I heard a cover of that Iron Maiden masterpiece by a Band from Nepal - Antim Grahan - a black metal band and I loved it. Cradle of filth's cover is quite famous and is pretty good. Iced Earth did a cover as well and..well I didn't like it..I guess Machinehead also did a cover.

Radiohead - Creep.. Brilliant song eh?.. Shifting to rock for a while. Listened to it after such a long time. Had almost forgotten about this song. Well, here it goes again.. But I'm a creep.. I'm a weirdo.. What the hell am I doing here.. I don't belong here......ah weren't the 90s great.

Now, from a sad song to something hopeful eh?..Just wanted to say that if you've not seen the movie - The Shawshank Redemption you're missing out on something very special.. It's about hope and why it should never die. Atleast for me. Interpret it in any way but it really is a must watch.

Oh I was to start a new topic..Well lets leave that for some other time..See ya later.

Most depressing movies that can make you cry

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:36:00 +0000

Well, i'm back. Nor that it matters anyways huh?
No comments or anything. Well doesn't matter..I'll keep this shit going :).

Today I'll be posting another depressing list.(Get the tissues out).
I love to see all kinds of movies depending on my mood and what better to post than a list of the most depressing movies. Some I've seen and some I've not. But I've read enough about the movies that I've not seen to be posting here..I'll try to post the movies that are depressing throughout rather than just a sad ending..Oh another thing..Most of the movies would be recent ones because I don't really like "really" old movies..Plus there won't be any spoilers.So here you go..My list of the most depressing movies..again in no particular order..

Requiem for a dream (2000)
How can a depressing movie list be complete without including this movie..If you're on drugs or something then please don't watch this movie. This movie will make you sick.
This movie is about the effect of drugs on four different people and how it ruins their lives..If you don't like depressing movies move on..This one is not for you..

Dancer in the dark (2000)

The movie plot says that an east European girl goes to America with her young son, expecting it to be like a Hollywood film. Well it certainly isn't and i'm sure you'll agree after you watch this movie. A brilliant performance by the lead actress 'Björk'. According to wikipedia It was reported that the shoot was so physically and emotionally tiring that she swore off acting ever again.

Grave of the fireflies(1988)

So you though animation movies were for kids eh? Try watching this one. Grave of the fireflies is a japanese movie about a young boy and his little sister's struggle to survive in Japan during World War II and what a struggle it is. Watch it to believe it.

The Mist(2007)

Many horror movies are kind of depressing (they certainly are if you ask me) but this one's a bit special. This movie is scary and creepy. Its about fighting for your survival. Imagine this..Blood thirsty creatures unleashed on you and you fighting for your life. Interesting eh?. Oh and the ending is dark and sad which is always good isn't it? Don't miss this one..

Lilja 4-ever(2002)

You get a chance to start a new life and you think it'll all be better and okay but does it always go this way? Not in this movie. Its about a young girl fantasizing about a better life. She thinks she finally gets gets a chance for a better life but does she? Watch it to find out..

Leaving Las Vegas(1995)

Drinking, prostitute, death..It might remind you of some cheesy flick but this movie's not. Nicholas Cage is an alcoholic who has lost everything due to his drinking and he comes to Vegas to drink himself to death. Here he meets and forms a friendship with a prostitute.

Angela's Ashes(1999)

Another movie about poverty and a family trying to make ends meet. The movie is based on an autobiography and is depressing to say the least.

21 grams(2003)

21 grams is a drama film of how an accident brings together three different people and how much it affects their lives. Sean Penn and Naomi Watts both give great performances in this must watch tragic movie.

Million Dollar Baby(2004)

Everyone's heard of this movie which won four Oscars. Nothing more to say. Its about a woman trying to establish herself as a boxer. And does she succeed? Errrr watch it!

The Road(2009)

Another survival tale. This time its about a man and his son trying to survive by all means possible..

The descent(2005)

Another horror movie in the list. This movie is about a cave expedition gone wrong. What happens inside the cave..well I know it.its for you to find out!

Thanks for reading. I had fun writing. Hope you had fun reading. Try commenting for a change ;)

Darkness

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 21:47:00 +0000

I started this blog just to express my love for music and others things that I love doing. I haven't been blogging much. Just 5 posts so far. I almost forgot about about the blog but now I've decided to show more interest in it and will try to update it more often. Not that anyone would care and maybe I'm only talking to myself here. But well, lets see where this takes me.

This post is just a rant more than anything else. I said it before that I might try to express my views in the blog. So, here i present to you nothing else now but my views.

Before I start I just want to say that anything and everything I write in this blog is just my personal opinion. Ofcourse it is...

So what does my blog title mean? Melancholy Darkness?? What kind of a stupid name is that. Does it make any sense? To me it does. I can't explain it but well lets move on..

Let me tell you a story or if I may I will ask you to stretch your imagination for a little while..
Imagine you're suddenly in a dark world with nobody there except you. Darkness is all around you. You try to find a way out but you can't. You're not able to. Your spirit is down and so are you. You shout out loud crying for help. Suddenly, you see a small light somewhere in the darkness. You run towards it but it keeps getting away. You're running and just when it seems that you will get there, just when you reach out for it, it vanishes..You're back to square one.You decide to give up once and for all and just sit there...maybe for ever.

After some time the crying stops and you just lie there. Time passes. You start thinking about the darkness. You start to enjoy the darkness. Darkness becomes your friend. You're free as a bird. Theres no obstacles. You can do anything you like with the darkness ofcourse..After some time you start feeling lonely and wish that somebody was there with you.Time passes.. While roaming in the darkness you find a door. You open it and see that your old world is in front of you. You're very happy but before stepping into "this" world you think twice if you wanna leave the darkness..

You decide you want to and you step into the old world again..Once you're back into this world you find chaos all around, so many people to face and to compete with, so much of pressure, so much of noise. You're head is spinning. You're out of control. It seems like people are screaming in your ears. You try to regain control. Once you're back to your senses you suddenly realize that "this" world is DARKER that the "dark" world..........

BEST FEMALE METAL VOCALISTS - Most Beautiful Voices in Metal

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sat, 29 Jan 2011 00:58:00 +0000

Metal has its fair share of female vocalists/singers. From the symphonious voice of Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish) to the death metal growls of Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy) , metal has it all. These bands are usually termed as female-fronted metal bands.

A beautiful female voice along with distorted guitars, harsh male vocals makes for an interesting combination, one that I'm fascinated by. Heres a list of what I think are the best female vocalists in metal or the best female fronted metal bands.

Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish) - Tarja Tururen was the former lead vocalist of the famous Finnish metal band Nightwish. Nightwish, now fronted by Anette Olzon, is a symphonic metal band. She,Tarja that is, is now solely devoted to her solo career. A few notable Nightwish songs with Tarja include..

Nemo
Wish I had an Angel
Wishmaster
Ghost Love Score

Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) - Lacuna coil, from Italy, was formed in 1994. Cristina has a powerful voice that might make the hair on the back of the neck stand up. I like their older stuff more,Comalies their best album in my opinion. I had the opportunity of seeing lacuna coil live and it was amazing, to say the least. I would have had a better experience if the crowd would have been sane but well, thats a different story. Back to the topic in hand, listen to the below mentioned songs, you might like them..

Heaven's a Lie
Swamped
Our Truth
Within Me
Enjoy the Silence
Falling Again

Sharon den Adel (Within Temptation) - Within Tempation is a Dutch metal band fronted by Sharon den Adel. She sings in a mezzo-soprano range and has never received vocal training.Notable songs include..

Stand my ground
Angels
Ice Queen
Mother Earth

Simone Simons (Epica) - Epica performs a blend of progressive metal, gothic metal and symphonic metal. The contrast between Simone Simons' operatic vocals and Mark Jansen's death grunts is a feature of Epica's music.
A few good songs..

Cry for the moon
Obsessive Devotion
Blank Infinity
Never Enough

Vibeke Stene (ex-Tristania) - Vibeke Stene is a Norwegian Soprana singer. She is most often recognized as the former vocalist of the gothic metal band Tristania..She has a beautiful and melancholic voice.Listen to some of Tristania's older stuff and you'll see that what I'm saying is right. My favorite Tristania songs..

My Lost Lenore
Deadlocked
Midwintertears

Liv Kristine (Leaves' Eyes) - Former vocalist of Theatre of Tragedy, Liv Kristine, formed Leaves Eyes in 2003. She too has a beautiful voice.Its her voice that features in the song nymphetamine, by cradle of filth. Some of Leave's eyes best songs include

Into the light
Norwegian lovesong
Elegy

Notable mentions include Lisa Middelhauve (ex-Xandria) , Anneke van Giersbergen (ex-The gathering)

P.S. I didnt include..
Amy Lee because evanescence isnt metal
Angela Gossow because her voice isnt ahem "beautiful".

SAD,DEPRESSING METAL SONGS

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Thu, 06 May 2010 20:37:00 +0000

Well some say metal can't be depressing..like a metal song can't be sad..I disagree..Here I'm posting a list of my favorite depressing,sad,love songs.These songs are from genres ranging from death metal to symphonic metal,from heavy metal to doom metal...i like to listen to different genres of metal..there are so many!

So what makes a song depressing?..well lyrics ofcourse,then music,the vocalist...It can be one of the three and all the three mixed..

Maybe I'll make a list a inspiring songs,well maybe when I'm inspired,ha!

Here we go!..In no particular order..

Fade to black - Metallica
"Life it seems will fade away..Drifting further every day..Getting lost within myself..Nothing matters, no one else..I have lost the will to live..Simply nothing more to give..There is nothing more for me..Need the end to set me free..
No one but me can save myself..But it's too late..Now I can't think..Think why I should even try..Yesterday seems as though..It never existed..Death greets me warm..Now I will just say goodbye"

Metallica has made a number of sad songs but this one remains on the top in my book..My favourite part of the song is infact the solo by kirk hammett..simply amazing..and this song is quite brilliant as well..If you have read my earlier post I included it in the top metal songs as well.Well the lyrics are self explanatory..and this song is epic!

I Died For You - Iced Earth
"Oh how I love you..The pain won't go away..Oh when I need you..You're always so far away..I cry for you..Leaving myself to blame..I died for you..I gave up everything.
The pain was just too much..When I finally saw her..She's happy and in love..In love with my best friend..What makes it hurt so bad..Is that I love them both..And they will never know..For love I sold my soul"

Iced Earth have changed a lot of their band members including their vocalists since their debut except the founder member of the band,guitarist Jon Schaffer.But the vocals on this one remain my favorite.This song is about spawn a comic book character..Spawn is killed by his own employer, and makes a deal with the devil to serve as the general of his armies if he is able to go back to his wife. "For love i sold my soul", "My souls the price to see her."He wants to see his wife. He does find her, but finds out that she's in love, and has a child, with his former best friend, Terry. "She's happy and in love, in love with my best friend."
Well,this song is awesome.One of Iced Earth's best..Its about spawn yeah but it can taken in any way (in my opinion) ..it can be about love or life.Thats what music and songs all about..interpreting them in your own way...

For My Fallen Angel - My Dying Bride
"As I draw up my breath..And silver fills my eyes..I kiss her still..For she will never rise..On my weak body..Lays her dying hand..Through those meadows of Heaven..Where we ran..Like a thief in the night..The wind blows so light..It wars with my tears..They won't dry for many years..Loves golden arrow..At her should have fled..And not Death ebon dart..To strike her dead"

How can you make a list of sad metal songs and not include the doom metal band,My Dying Bride..If I had to choose one of their songs,it'd had to be this one..the music is enough to make this a sad song but the lyrics truly make it depressing..This is an amazing song and everything in it just fits together..Its about someone dying and you not being able to take the pain..Beautiful sing,great lyrics,amazing music..10/ 10..

One Last Goodbye - Anathema
"How I needed you.. How I grieve now you're gone..In my dreams I see you..I awake so alone.
I know you didn't want to leave..Your heart yearned to stay..But the strength I always loved in you..Finally gave way.
In my dreams I can see you..I can tell you how I feel..In my dreams I can hold you..And it feels so real..I still feel the pain ..I still feel your love..I still feel the pain"

I've not heard much of their stuff(anathema) but after listening to this song I'm sure I'm gonna get one of their albums..Ever since I first heard this song I've been continously playing it over and over again.And a list of depressing songs can't be complete without including a love song..and this is one of the best..Love does that to you..lol.In one word,awesome track.Listen to it,NOW!

Falling again - Lacuna coil
"I lay look ion my hand..searching this lines..I've not the answer..I'm crying and I don't know..watching this sky..I search an answer..so feel free to be to..Im not another liar..I just wanna be myself
Now the beat inside of me is a sort of a cold breeze and I've never any feeling inside me..ruining me..bring my body..carry it to another world..I know I'll live but like a stone I'm falling down.

Lacuna coil is a gothic metal band from Italy..This song is taken from their album entitled "In a Reverie"..There is another version version of this song which came on in their earlier EP simply entitled "Falling" but I like this version more...I interpret this song as a person feeling emptiness and suffering from depression..Its a truly bad feeling,trust me..and this song portrays emptiness and depression beautifully..Cristina's sings it amazingly well.All in all,a top song..one of best and one of my favorite lacuna coil songs..

Beloved's Cry - Orphaned Land
"My heart flies on her wings..Now I'm crying, the moon so red..Tomorrow shall be yet another hell..To the sun, (the) sky's soul is fed..Blows pass me..(I'm) down them I do not feel..Anything except the shadow is real..Why did she do it ? Why did she die ?..How could she leave without saying goodbye ?..She has proven my life to be just a lie..When sea waves crush they hit me hard..But I do not feel them..And then reality is no more real to me..I ask myself, should I end it now..And join her at last ?..I miss the cold embrace of lust..There's nothing left, just a dust..Nothing is left from my dearest love."
Not a very famous band but a beautiful song..It is about his girl dying and he's missing her to the extent that he's thinking of suicide..the vocals,both male and female fit perfectly and make this song a great depressing song.

End of the road - Sentenced
"Here we are, now lay the burden down..We're coming to the end of our road..Sorrowful yet glorious somehow..To be humming this one last ode..So calm and still... it wasn't all that bad, or was it now?..Fulfilled... it doesn't only hurt to end it now..The funeral
Is life over, this life's over?..Or has it only just begun?..It grows colder, starts to moulder...Coming apart yet still not done..Forever one"

Sentenced might be the the most depressing band ever..there are so many sentenced songs that I could list here but I decided to list just one song from every band..everything about this song is depressing,the lyrics,the music..I even find the guitar solo depressing..

Gone - Katatonia
"A dead start in my head..And the day's been laid..The things I really want..Always torn away from my heart..You never saw the way..How I wanted you to stay..And now when you're gone..I'm on my own..When I was thinking this..Was something permanent..You were already thinking..Of going away"

Well I can make a list of sad depressing metal songs with songs from Katatonia itself..They have a bunch of great sad songs..In this song,not only the lyrics,but the music,the vocals everything is wonderful and makes you want to cry out..

The Final - Dir En Grey
"The intention is clear, I stare with this left hand, unable to be worded
Every time I bleed, there lies the reason to live And I discover words being so vivid and brightEven loved ones scatter like petals from flowers in my hand
So even if I engraved the meaning that I lived in my hand, it will only be known as flowers of vanity
So I cant live..Whats lost cant be born again..A song thats not even seeking the proof of living..Lets put an end the final..Lets bloom flowers of attempted suicide..."

A sad song list can't be complete without a suicide song.So here it is..Die En Grey is a band from japan..The lyrics of this song are in japanese too but I've put the translation here.This song is amazing.I've heard it many times but still I like it.It can be interpreted in different ways.Maybe its about a person losing their loved ones and wants to commit suicide.Whether he succeeds or not is a different story "Lets bloom flowers of attempted suicide"..This is one of the most beautiful suicide songs.the video is great as well.

To Bid You Farewell - Opeth
"I stand motionless..In a parade of falling rain..Your voice I cannot hear..As I am falling again..
Devotion eludes.And in sadness I lumber..In my own ashes I am standing without a soul..She wept and whispered: "I know...We walked into the night..Am I to bid you farewell?..Why can't you see that I try..When every tear I shed is for you"

Opeth is a very interesting band.They are a progressive death metal band although their exact genre has been a cause of lot of debate over the years..This is a beautiful song without the harsh vocals that is usually associated with opeth..Well this song is about love,again.

Undertow - Pain of salvation
"Let me break!..Let me bleed!..Let me tear myself apart I need to breathe!..Let me lose my way!..Let me walk astray!..Maybe to proceed..Just let me bleed!..Let me drain!..Let me die!..Let me break the things I love I need to cry!..Let me burn it all!..Let me take my fall!..Through the cleansing fire!..Now let me die!..Let me die...Let me out..Let me fade into that pitch-black velvet night"

Pain of Salvation is a Swedish progressive metal band..The music in this song is really sad and depressing..This song starts slow and then the band kicks in later in the song.. It is sung very well and you can feel the pain in the vocalist's voice..Let me bleed!!!

Ode to Melancholy - Empyrium
"Melancholy - still my desire for thy precious tragedian wine...Sweep me away, into the vale of thine!..Where sorrow's strong and so is joy..Melancholy - still my desire, O let my heart by thee inspire...O fill the air with thy sweet scent,let thy light, thy star crescent..Wherever she dwells I will bid a farewell sigh..For she dwells with beauty - beauty that must die..And deep inside me I will wait for her return..To her enchanting, awe-inspiring flame I'll yearn..O lust and rueful thought be mine,My soul enhanced, desires...Melancholy - my heart is thine"

Empyrium songs are usually very melancholic and so is this song..Not really depressing but very melancholic..The lyrics are beautiful..Its like poetry written so very well..

Black Swans - Lacrimas Profundere
"...So embrace the flowers of fall..and remember the rain..which will ever weep over landscapes wide and grey..and feed the rivers flowing into the waters of life..though oblivion is a mightier water -so majestic, so cold, so fathomless deep..."

I'm including many lesser known bands in this list and lacramas profundere is one of them..They are from Germany..Their name means to shed tears in Latin..I don't really care about the lyrics in this one..the music,the harsh,clean and female vocals all fit in to make this song a truly depressing one.

Insanity Crescendo - Dark Tranquillity
"Gently hold our heads ..gently hold our heads on high..Aimless time in fear now hide
overthrow the plan ..confusion lies in all my words
mad is the soul..We barricade ourselves in holes of temperament ..this is the dawning of a new age ..a heart that the wrong way ..insanity's crescendo..
Windcolour - second sight ..a touch of silence ..and the violence of dark..illusion span - the aroma of time ..shadowlife and the scent of nothingness..Infinite fall of instinct ..order of one spells deceit..Infinite lack of trust..order of one obsolete..Oh escaping time is all we lost ahead? ..When it's found, can judgement make amends?"

Dark Tranquillity is awesome and so is this song.They are a swedish melodic death metal band from Sweden.They are one of the pioneers of melodic death metal genre..I don't know if this song is sad or not but I wanted to include a death metal song and I find the song,the female and male vocals,the music kinda sad..

I Don't care - Apocalyptica
"I try to make it through my life, in my way, there's you ..I try to make it through these lies, and that's all I do ..Just don't deny it, ..Don't try to fight this ,and deal with it ..and that's just part of it, ..If you were dead or still alive ..I don't care, I don't care ..Just go and leave this all behind ..Cause i swear (i swear),i don't care"

Apocalypica is a Finnish metal band consisting of classically trained cellists and since 2003,a drummer as well..This song features Adam Gontier from the band Three Days Grace..Really,you can't call this song depressing but its actually an angry song which is clear from the lyrics.There are two versions of this song.I like the US version more..Adam has sung it really well.

Honorable mentions


My Dying Bride - The Crown of Sympathy
Katatonia - My Twin
Lacuna coil - Within Me
Tool - Sober
   Sentenced - No One There
Apocalyptica - S.O.S(Anything But Love)

P.S.. There must be many sad and depressing metal songs that I don't know about..This is just a list of what i like.Plus I've not included any rock songs coz..well its a metal song list.duh!

METALLICA-BEST SELLING METAL BAND

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 18:20:00 +0000

Formed in Los Angeles,California in 1981.

Best selling metal band ever.

Formed By drummer Lars Ulrich and lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist james hetfield.

Members

James Hetfield – rhythm guitar, lead vocals
Kirk Hammett – lead guitar, backing vocals
Robert Trujillo – bass, backing vocals
Lars Ulrich – drums, percussion

So metallica...I think most of you have heard this name even if you are not a metal fan.And if you are i'm sure you have.One of the top thrash metal bands in history having an excellent guitarist in Kirk Hammett,vocalist and one of the best rhythm guitarist James Hetfield, and drummer Lars Ulrich..Their bassist has changed several times during the past ..well they've been around since the 80's..

The band has won a fair share of grammy awards (grammy awards are a joke in my opinion) and have had controversies sorround them in the early years when dave mustaine (who went on to found megadeth) was kicked from the band...In 2000,they filed a case against napster (a peer to peer file sharing network) when they found out that their music was freely distributed on the network.It led to napster being a paid service and the fans showed their discontent towards it..

But there's no doubting that metallica were one of the best in their time.They have influenced many a band and introduced people to metal.They,alongside Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax were the big four of the thrash metal genre in the 80's..Kirk Hammett is one of my favorite guitarists..His solos in "Fade to Black" and "One"
are some of the best..Lead vocalist James Hetfield is also the rhythm guitarist of the band and he's awesome.

Their earlier albums(Kill Em All,Ride the lightening,..and justice for all,master of puppets and metallica) are their best albums..However since then,they never could reach up to that level again..

Favorite songs

Here are my favorite metallica songs..

Fade to Black
Master of Puppets
Unforgiven
Seek and Destroy
Nothing Else Matters
One
Enter Sandman

IRON MAIDEN--One of the best heavy metal bands of all time

noreply@blogger.com (Joy) — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 23:56:00 +0000

So lets begin with my favorite heavy metal band-IRON MAIDEN

You can read all about heavy metal music on wikipedia.

Iron Maiden - Formed in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris

From Leyton in East London

Released a collective total of thirty albums: fourteen studio albums, seven live albums, four EPs and five compilations.

One of the most successful metal bands ever.

Sold over 100 million records worldwide

Members

Bruce Dickinson -Vocals Dave Murray - Guitar Adrian Smith - Guitar

Steve Harris - Bass Guitar Janick Gers - Guitar Nicko Brian - Drums

If you are a metal fan you must be knowing about this band.if not I'll tell you.This band is awesome.One of my all time favorites.I mean they have been going on and on for 30 years.Founded by Steve Harris who also does most of the song writing (he's brilliant at it,mind you) in 1975,this band has it all.Awesome vocals, great riffs,mindblowing solos,wonderful drum work.You name it,iron maiden has it.They have sold millions of albums without any mainstream radio play.If you've not listened to them check them out.trust me,they're brilliant.A dream come true for every metal fan.

Bruce Dickinson's first album with the band was the Number of the Beast which still remains one of their best albums to date.Iron Maiden has inspired hundreds of bands and are one of the most influential bands in the rock history.

Well,when i started listening to metal, i mostly used to listen to newer bands but this band made me realize that many of the bands that i liked were mostly crap.I started searching for more and more for iron maiden and older stuff and found that there was magic in the 80's.With bands like Slayer,Metallica,Black Sabbath,Judas Preist,Motorhead,Megadeth etc.All these bands are great but I like maiden the most.Well,whatever suits you.

Another thing,they are totally awesome live.If you don't believe it check out some of their live videos.Hair raising stuff.I haven't had the chance of seeing them live.They came to India in 2008 and 2009 but i was not that big a fan then.i wish they'd come again.I'll have to go very far (a 1000 miles) to see them live but thats a very small price I would have to pay for it.

Another thing which i wanted to do in this blog is tell you some of my favorite songs from the bands i like.Whenever i stumble across a new band im always searching the net for their best songs.This might prove to be helpful so,well..lets see..

Favorite Songs

I like most of their songs but if i have to choose here are my favorites..In no particular order;

Hallowed be thy Name
Fear of the Dark
Aces High
Dance of Death
Rime of the Ancient Mariner
The Trooper
The Number of the Beast
Phantom of the Opera
The Evil that men do

I love music.Music is my life.Music makes me go sad and makes me happy.But not all music.I hate most of the commercial stuff like today's pop and hip hop.These music genres had their time but now its all too commercial and most of the stuff is crap.And there are so many music genres out there that it would not be possible to list them all. I'll just start on with the music that i love.Rock and Metal.Well,mostly metal which is one of the least commercialized of the music genres.Ofcourse metal too has had commercial success these days with bands such as slipknot(they are crap) but there are so many bands out there that go unnoticed and heres artists like rihanna, britney spears making millions.That sucks.So this blog is a simple introduction to rock and metal music.I'll be writing about this music in general and about some of my favorite bands.

Oh by the way don't get me started on bollywood music (i am from india).its so sad.india has some very good bands as well but they'll never get mainstream radio play (most of the radio plays stuff that i can't listen to). Well,not now any anyways.Lets see what the future has in store for us.You never know!

In between i might write about other things like movies,technology,phones etc..Time will tell.Lets proceed to ou first post now..Keep Rocking!!!!
