EVANESCENCE - Going Under LYRICS

Now I will tell you what I've done for you -
50 thousand tears I've cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won't hear me (going under)
Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies.
(So I don't know what's real)
So I don't know what's real and what's not (don't know what's real and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through

I...

So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away)
I won't be broken again (again)
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under

I dive again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through

I'm going under (going under)
I'm going under (drowning in you)
I'm going under

EVANESCENCE LYRICS
"My Immortal"

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Back to Chorus]

Bob Marley - One Love Lyrics

One Love! One Heart!
Let's get together and feel all right.
Hear the children cryin' (One Love!);
Hear the children cryin' (One Heart!),
Sayin': give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Sayin': let's get together and feel all right. Wo wo-wo wo-wo!

Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!);
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart!):
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner,
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?

One Love! What about the one heart? One Heart!
What about - ? Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love!);
So shall it be in the end (One Heart!),
All right!
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
One more thing!

Let's get together to fight this Holy Armagiddyon (One Love!),
So when the Man comes there will be no, no doom (One Song!).
Have pity on those whose chances grows t'inner;
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation.

Sayin': One Love! What about the One Heart? (One Heart!)
What about the - ? Let's get together and feel all right.
I'm pleadin' to mankind! (One Love!);
Oh, Lord! (One Heart) Wo-ooh!

Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right;
Let's get together and feel all right.

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On LYRICS

Where did we come from,
Why all we here?
Where do we go when we die?
What lies beyond
And what lay before?
Is anything certain in life?

They say, "Life is too short,"
"The here and the now"
And "You're only given one shot"
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that we've got?

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
I'm not scared anymore
I know that my soul will transcend

I may never find all the answers
I may never understand why
I may never prove
What I know to be true
But I know that I still have to try

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Victoria:
"Move on, be brave
Don't weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear"

Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has helped me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victoria's real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that I'm here
It's perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
I'd be all right
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on

Grunge Music

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 13:40:00 +0000

The rise of music events minorities, be an important indicator of the return of the long-awaited era of idealistic music. According to Wikipedia, or the Seattle Grunge sound is a sub-genre of alternative rock that emerged in the mid-1980s in the United States, Washington, especially in Seattle.

Inspired by punk rock, heavy metal and indie rock, grunge is generally thick and full sound of heavy guitar distortion and lyrical melancholy or apatism. Grunge originally only appearing occasionally (and even then with difficulty) at its inception, became popular with the presence of the legendary band Nirvana. Vocal Kurt Cobain, who died at the age of 27 years, Grunge was the glory had faded after the death of Kurt Cobain. Although many have regretted and tried to rebuild, in fact it's very difficult.

Sad But True! Nirvana and Kurt Cobain also refused called Grunge musicians. Cobain himself Punkers prefer to be known, because they are more able to think and explore masihng individual soul, not just because of bad songs and then they dance in a variety of terms (pogo, moshing, ect ..) but do not know what they want delivered of the song . Cobain hated act Grunge kids are so apathetic and selfish (remember lyric In Bloom? Lets check the Lyric!).

You've seen the t-shirt "Grunge is Dead"?. Cobain formed Nirvana was actually like Punk band (do you remember?). It is proved that the opinion explaining that Christ Novoselic Cobain Nirvana actually wanted to be a band like the Sex Pistols Punk nuanced but because he lacked the resources to be Nirvana a punk band that weird!

And from all that, there is one band that since splashy Grunge era of the 90s until today, still faithful voiced and Seattle grunge sound in the middle of the mainstream music market with pop punk, punk power and so on.

Within Temptation Memories lyrics

MEMORIES LYRICS - WITHIN TEMPTATION

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the Gods let him stay

The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay

Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go home

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All these memories I hold dear
Darling you know I'll love you till the end of time

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

All of my memories

His career at the legendary metal scene, because thanks to the strong character of his Black Sabbath was the band's most faforit be lifted in the early 70's.

Nine solo album that was released in the range 1980-207 successfully sold about 70 million copies worldwide. The most popular album Blizzard of Ozz is (1980) and No More Tears (1991).

Controversial behavior, ranging from the use of finger shaped by hand "V", regarded by some as a symbol of devil worship, but denied by Ozzy himself, saying it was a symbol of peace. Another controversy is the action stage by biting the head off a bat, these events are preceded by the act of a fan who threw the bat onto the stage, maybe it's just a stuffed bat immediately bitten the bat's head off, the second one is a dove but this is purely for the stage attraction , was intentional

Who would have thought an Ozzy often cried when he was watching a weepy film at the cinema. When she cries, her children always say. "Hey, Ozzy, Satan rules". Ozzy likes the small round kacama. Glasses like glasses that are often used by musicians of his idol, John Lenon.

Beyond the stage, he urinated on the alamo fort while touring in Texas, and he was sentenced to 10 years in prison! In addition he also once attempted murder of his wife and manager: Sharon Ossbourne.

This idea came from when he was banned from performing in music festivals Lollapalooza and he bermiat create a rival concert, in addition to the satisfaction of the mind in which he has always been the main headline.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid

Lyric

Finished with my woman

'Cause she couldn't help me with my mind

People think I'm insane

Because I am frowning all the time

All day long I think of things

But nothing seems to satisfy

Think I'll lose my mind

If I don't find something to pacify

Can you help me occupy my brain?

Oh yeah!

I need someone to show me

The things in life that I can't find

I can't see the things that make true happiness

I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh

And you will laugh and I will cry

Happiness I cannot feel

And love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words

Telling you now of my state

I tell you to enjoy life

I wish I could but it's too late

The theme of this album is about war, mental illness, substance abuse - drugs trafficking, as well as sci-fi horror. Lyrics track album opener "paranoid" about the Vietnam War and the Cold War, thus making this song as a protest song that describes the situation at that time.

BLACK SABBATH In the Recording Studio

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 27 Oct 2012 12:07:00 +0000

Almost a year after announcing their reunion, Black Sabbath are hard at work in the studio working on their first new album with Ozzy in 33+ years at Shangri La Studios in Malibu and we have some exclusive info on the progress.

My buddy (and fellow SiriusXM Liquid Metal DJ) Jose Mangin went down to the studio to record audio snippets for Ozzy's SiriusXM channel, Ozzy's Boneyard, and was accompanied by RockMyWalls.com photographer, Sonny Guillen. Sonny was nice enough to give us a few tidbits of information about the status of the new album.

The band is currently in the studio recording vocals with Rick Rubin. There are 15 songs that have been written, and according to Geezer Butler, 12 of them will make the record, most likely with the additional three serving as bonus tracks for different special editions.

Apparently, guitarist Tony Iommi completed all 15 guitar tracks during the band's sessions in England earlier this year, and judging by the way most bands record, that would mean drums are done as well. Ozzy and Geezer are working to complete the tracks in five song increments, with the first five being worked on currently.

Ozzy is tracking vocals, with bassist Geezer Butler writing all the lyrics. One song title has been confirmed and it's "God Is Dead."

As for guitarist Tony Iommi, Ozzy mentioned that he spoke to Iommi recently and he is in good sprits and recovery is coming along very well from his cancer scare earlier this year.

Valkyre

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:26:00 +0000

Valkyre is a symphonic gothic metal band from Belgium and France. They are still unsigned, with only 2 demos out: "Consolamentum" and "On Both Sides We Pray." Unfortunately, it is hard to find most their music, as there are only three recordings available on their Myspace.

I was really struck by their song, "A Good Day to Die," which combines celtic folk elements with symphonic keyboard patches and violin-guitar harmonies.

The violin parts are very melodic, provide great harmonies and a folky magical feel to their music. Their music is very energetic and enchanting, with a powerful female singer and intriguing synth sounds.

The violinist is Cid Jimenez, who joined the band in 2007 and worked on "Consolamentum" with them. Before him, the violinist was Joris Derder. They have both used an acoustic live at one point, but Cid also has an electric S-shaped violin (Shar?). They have consistent violins, they are on all three of the songs on their myspace. Give them a listen!
Great sound, and great potential!

Chthonic

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:23:00 +0000

The first time I heard of Chthonic was when I saw them at Ozzfest in 2007. After seeing that they had an erhu (a Chinese 2-string violin), that they were from Taipei, Taiwan, and that they fought for human rights and Taiwanese independence from China, I have never forgotten them.

They are a driven and impressive group - they were the first asian metal band ever to play at Ozzfest, they have been banned in parts of China for their political views, and they have also met with the Dalai Lama as a part of their human rights endeavors. Even though their music is more brutal than stuff I normally listen to, I am a sucker for bands with political motives, girl musicians, and ethnic instruments. It didn't hurt, too, that I am half-Taiwanese. They have very interesting corpse paint, which they call "ghost paint," (not pictured above) which actually corresponds to symbols and curses in Chinese mythology. They are a band which has a deep concept behind their musics, which is something I really appreciate.

They consider themselves an extreme metal band because their lyrics don't really fit into the black metal scene, but musically they have a very black metal sound. They utilize high screams, low grunts, fast tempos, eerie keyboard sounds and sometimes haunting choirs and female vocals. They even incorporate some thrash influences on their newest album, Mirror of Retribution. As far as lyrics go, they sing about oriental mythology of the underworld, ghost stories, tragedies, and the oppression and colonialism of Taiwan. (A word of warning, their lyrics can be very brutal)

Now, I don't know much about the erhu except that it's awesome. Chthonic used to have an erhu player named Su-Nung (pictured), but he left in 2009 and now the erhu is played by singer Freddy Lim. In their music, the erhu plays mournful melodies behind the heavy guitars and screaming, and sometimes plays traditional folk tunes.
While this is not a violin, I feel like the erhu melodies could be easily adapted on the violin. It's also a unique style of playing, and a good reference for metal violinists who are looking to add an asian feel to their music.

Crimfall

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 20:19:00 +0000

Crimfall is folk metal band from Helsinki, Finland. Their music is very epic - can I emphasize that again? Very. Epic. Finland doesn't disappoint when it comes to folk metal, and Crimfall is no exception.

Their music generally features melodies reminiscent of Finnish folk music and lyrics about vikings, but sometimes their music can even have an ethnic middle-eastern feel to it. Their dense keyboard orchestration and heavy guitars provide for a powerful sound, and the male and female vocalists provide for a nice contrast. Although the male/female singer lineup occurs quite frequently in metal, I feel like their male grunter/female operatic singer offset is exceptionally well done and stands out from the rest.

The official band consists of the two singers, a guitarist/keyboardist, drums and bass, while their session musicians on the album include violin, cello, and accordion. The guitarist also plays "other weird instruments," and I'm not entirely sure what that entails, but I do know it includes the jaw harp!
Crimfall is still a fairly new band - they only have one album out right now, As the Path Unfolds..., which was released in 2009.
