Rendezvous with Rock/Rap-Rock Songs …

As most of my friends know, I don’t usually listen to English songs. In-fact about 8 months back I didn’t even know what rock bands exists or even who are the famous singers, leaving a few – thanks to all the DJ nights I had attended. But one day I saw a video and suddenly I started liking those songs which earlier irritated me. Here is my first account with the world of Rock/Rap-Rock songs.

It was 2^nd day of the 9 days sem-break after 3^rd sem. I was sitting in my room with low fever, alone, and all of my friends went out for dinner. I was already frustrated regarding some personal problems, and the fever in holidays added to it. I was just browsing through some Metacafe videos, when I found this one. This video was about a rider, in-fact about a ride of the rider, the ultimate ride. The rider was shown riding his bike as fast as he could, through the highways to the main streets, through one-ways overtaking all the vehicles he came across … not giving a damn to the rules, not caring about even risking his life. He was shown driving the vehicle to the extreme. Don’t know how but I somehow got this feeling that this rider was frustrated of everything, or had faced failure somewhere that he desired passionately, and that he didn’t get the result for how much he tried. So, now there he goes breaking all the rules, all the boundations, risking his life to achieve that what he wanted, to go par his capabilities … having no one to stop him, to achieve that one ride … the Ultimate Ride. Later, after doing all that he wanted to do, his hands loosen from the handle, he relaxes his body … bike still going above 200 kmph … he raises his hands towards the sky … loses his balance, the bike shakes, falls, skids … the rider hits ground cracking his helmet along with his bones, bounces and hit again … and then … there is blood all over …

Throughout this video there was one song being played …

 

In the End – Linkin Park

It starts with One thing,

I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind

I designed this rhyme to explain in due time

All I know

Time is a valuable thing

Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

Watch it count down to the end of the day

The clock ticks life away

It’s so unreal

Didn’t look out below

Watch the time go right out the window

Trying to hold on, but didn’t even know

I wasted it all

just to watch you go

I kept everything inside

And even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a

memory of a time when

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

I had to fall, to lose it all

But in the end it doesn’t even matter

One thing, I don’t know why

It doesn’t even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to remind myself how

I tried so hard

In spite of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me

I’m surprised it got so [far]

Things aren’t the way they were before

You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore

Not that you knew me back then

But it all comes back to me in the end

I kept everything inside

And even though I tried

It all fell apart

What it meant to me will eventually be a

memory of a time

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it doesn’t even matter

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I’ve put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard and got so far

But in the end, it doesn’t even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it doesn’t even matter

The video and the lyrics affected me so much that I listened to the song a 100 times in those 9 days … and from there started my journey to the genre of English songs.

 

PS1: @Maruti : this is not the “cool” post I mentioned about … but just felt like writing.

PS2: Listning to the same song after a long time.

PS3: Finally got a mail regarding project … hopefully now we will be getting projects.
