Best ever. I think. But the Beatles have a timeless quality to them, it's like looking into the past, into something I won't be a part of, but something that is still relevant, something that can twig my emotions and, since I don't know any better terms, it scares me. It's powerful, I don't know how, but the first time I listened to "A Day In The Life" I was a Beatles fan. It just has such a horrible but inspiring(again, that doesn't do it justice, the words just aren't enough) feeling to it.
I know it's crazy, but some music can do that, depends on the person, depends on the time, but the right song has a way of finding you at the right time. And it just hits you like a freight train in the dark, it's just so unsetteling and powerful that you can't help but sit still and stare at nothing and everything all at once. You just, know, somehow, someway, that something is right, in a world of wrongs, that not everything is horrible and depressing, that not everything is heartless and pointless, that you're not totally alone, and it always helps.
It's just that nowadays(kind of ironic I say this because I'm 17), most people place a greater value on, "heavyness and growling vocals" or catchy music with no talent. Music is an art above all to me, and it pains me that my guitar playing can't do it justice, that I'm not very talented at something I really care about, that I'm not everything I want to be. I mean, I can play the guitar, but it doesn't play me, it doesn't come through me like...there really aren't terms for what I'm trying to describe.
It's just something that I can't comprehend, it's like a paradox, but it's not. It's just something more than me. Something so meaningful, that it doesn't mean as much as it should, if that makes any sense at all. My mind simply can't grasp it, like files that have been deleted off a Mac, but, they were never there in this case.
Gah, I feel so puny and miniscule for trying to contemplate something so far beyond me.
How about some Stairway, nobody could deny it now.
