The greatest things are left underground.

Pictures of You

saturday=youth

there is a bright light hidden beneath the dark and melancholy clouds
the smiling, sparkling stars will lend you in, on the right moment of the day,
when spirits are high, the air feels calm, the morning light shines on perfectly
the darkess of the clouds have fatigued your mind during a long spell of solitude
the highest reality within the empty room, only found in daydreams

Les Fleurs du mal

Why I adore the Smiths

Why I adore the Smiths

21.4.11

They took all the miseries and pain into daily work and domestic life and turned it into something beautiful. I discovered the Smiths at a rather difficult time of my life; I graduated from college, unemployed and had to move back to my parents’ house for some time, these guys were my soundtrack to that particular low point of my short life. They told us that somebody is always going to want see us fall, and laugh at us. They took the black and white in life and turned it into beautiful melodies and color. The music is somewhat uplifting and even danceable. Morrissey sings straight from the heart, with such a passion and emotion in his voice, his style of singing is unlike anybody I have ever heard. Marr’s guitar playing and brilliant hooks sings for itself. They sing about things that average person can relate to. Rarely do bands actually sing so accurately about the reality of human existence. Longing, nostalgia, loneliness, lost love, rejection, spending warm summer days indoors, celebrating being a weirdo or an outsider – these are just few of the topics they sing about. The beauty is that they took these dark themes we experience in life and turned them into something beautiful. The music makes you fall in love with your own despair and sadness, and in a very strange way this picks you up and uplifts you. This is what makes them so unique and amazing; everyone in their lifetime goes through these experiences and can relate to it. The lyrics scarily describe with such accuracy things that were happening to me, or are happening to me at the time I was listening to them. The Smiths will be a band, similar to Oasis, the Cure, and The Strokes who I discovered before them, that will always be close to my heart.
