I want to introduce myself...
ok finally I feel like a light bulb went off and I need to break the ice about music to me. The fact that this awesome website has come into my life at just the perfect time when I need to be with the people like me. I know there is a lot of younger generation people visiting these forums. I want to share with all of you me ultimate escape and what I find so interesting aobut it.
It fall in the music catagory. Subconsiously up until the age of like 20 i had not realized how much music was/is a part of my life and a tool I have used for years without knowing. I grew up younger years hearing Barbara Streisand, Lionel Richie, Doors, Floyd, chicago, Jethro Tull. I started playing the flute in 4th grade and never stopped until I graduated from high school. I also marched in our school marching band. But even still, by the end of high school I have always been a sucker for top ten hits. Long story short I have a deep passion for music and I there are times when I crave just hearing the song. I am not a great singer. I have my moments when I can perfectly hit this high note and be in tone. I always thought i was tone deaf, I am not I can not control my tones I can tell when it is off. I have a voice issue anyhow. Whole other story.
I really should get to my point. I never cared for heavy metal. What my problem was is the fact that is was to hard to understand what they were saying or trying to convey. I discovered a band so to speak he is really a one man band. NIN...aka Trent Reznor. Whether it be a happy or sad moment NIN have always help me stay grounded and for any one that thinks they have heard it all only if you know NIN.....
yes nin a lot of there music has mix of calm with ramping up rage than a winding down. a slow burn than a wham yep not many do this as well most rock starts full on and stays on a lack of contrast.
