A Podgy style music rant...

Quote of the moment: "I died in my dreams, what's that supposed to mean?"

Ahem. I know I just went to read Le Count again, but I have an urge to type... so here is my version of a Podgy "THIS SONG/BAND/ALBUM/SINGER IS SO AWESOME" rant type thing... Much like a Prillo "THAT BLOKE WAS SO FIT" rant, really! :P

Anway: THE RASMUS. I'm sure you've heard the name before... The first single from the album "Dead Letters" was "In The Shadows"... as in:

I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life

That's quite a pr0 song itself, but compared to some of the other stuff on the album, tis distinctly second rate. For example, the opening song, "First Day Of My Life", is t3h r0x0r:

I feel like I'm stoned, I wanna be alone, just for a while, unknown,
Weeks on the road, a long way from home, to shut up the phone,
And you say I'll heal you I'll always be yours
And you say I'll kill you if I do something wrong

Still feels like the first time
To stand here by your side
Together regardless
We'll walk through the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my life

I particularly like the "Together regardless, We'll walk through the darkness" couplet... Also we have the rather spankingly good "Funeral Song", including the lovely couplet I quoted at the start:

I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?

At this point I have to thank Paddy... if it were not for driving to his house and back last Tuesday night, watching the lightning and listening to this r0x0r album, I might never have bought it... and it r0x0rs. Ummm, that's about it. I'm nub at this rant stuff, I'd better leave it to the pr0s... :P
