SOME say rock bands are trash and they are too loud. I say they are gems and they stand proud.
Rock bands may not be a typical daily dose of sound for some but they are more than what some people think. And their music? Such a big help in adding a little punch in our lives.
I admit I wasn’t really into rock bands because all I heard were screaming and the heavy play of instruments. I thought that time that the only people who listen to it are either too emotional or suicidal.
But I realized I was judging too much. I decided to give it a try and listen to their brand of music. My friends also recommended some bands.
I first tried the Sleeping with Sirens then went on to All Time Low. I moved on to Foo Fighters and was led listening to Bring Me the Horizon. Local rock bands Kamikazee, Urbandub and Chicosci became my daily fare.
I was introduced to the concept of rock ‘n’ roll and realized how I liked it. I never knew that the music and the bands that play them would have a great impact on me. I graduated from being a pop afficionado—I admit I was that just to be in the circle of pop-music lovers.
It was like a part of me changed in just a snap.
I was drawn to the lyrics that make up their songs. I consider their music as full of emotion. I can strongly feel them and their music.
For me, rock music is very meaningful and enraged with power. The band themselves have such good names. It was different for me to see men with long hair and tattoos all over, with such warm smiles. And they really know how to give a blasting performance. It was like being in another kind of heaven!
I believe that bands have impacted many people’s lives through their music. They help people to live out more and face the reality they are dealing with.
On the downside, I observed some people who adore rock have become rebels. They let everything burst out and think they are invulnerable. They think they can handle everything, that they are better independent.
Everything has its good and bad points, rock bands and their music included.
That is what, I believe, makes life balanced. That is what, I believe, has led me to explore more and be grateful.
