Music

This is exam period. That means I listen to a lot more music from my laptop than is usual XD Now I have many many nice songs I listen to. Beats and rythms have always amused and I just love DJ scratching (hence why I am a Linkin Park fan).

But what really really amuses me are lyrics. Not so much content as sound quality? The way words sound when strung together, rhyme and timing and phonetics. It's why I enjoy listening to rap cos the word play is often quite amusing if not intelligent.

However, the song that has been catching my attention is Alanis Morrisette's King of Pain. She has a great voice as it is and the lyrics are just awesome (even if they are on the dark brooding side) This is the verse that I like best.

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out,
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt,
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed,
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread...

I enjoy the imagery a lot. It is a very sad painful song. Always cheer myself up after that with some Disney songs and Young MC's Bust a Move!

Oh yeah! Now back to pathology slides....
