"Children in Heat"
by The Misfits

I learned "London Dungeon" and "Frosty the Snowman" on bass today! Talk about a weird combination. xD

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 2:48 am

Awesome Raine! xD

Tides of Time - Epica

Such a beautiful song.

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:09 am

My fingers still hurt from playing. >.<

"Last Caress"
by The Misfits

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:12 am

But it is a good kind of hurt, yes?

Wheel of Time (Orchestral Version) - Blind Guardian

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:16 am

The best kind ha. I'd imagine it's the way bodybuilders feel after a workout. My fingers are screaming at me, "Why don't you use a pick, you stupid bitch?!" And I just tell them, "Shut the eff up. You don't know anything." Lol.

I despise playing with picks...

"Bloodfeast"
by The Misfits

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:32 am

Hehe. I like both methods, personally. It depends on the style and sound your going for.

Energize Me - After Forever

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:35 am

I don't even play the little bit of guitar I know with a pick. Much prefer my thumb nail if I have to do it that way... I seriously can't play with a pick. Period. End of story.

"Hatebreeders"
by The Misfits

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:38 am

I started out using my thumb with guitar. I didn't ever use a pick until I had a ridiculous blister on my thumb from trying that with bass. Then I learned certain picking styles that made me stick with it... lol

Discord - After Forever

Watching the video... and its making me depressed because the band split up recently...

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:41 am

:[ Sad...

I can't use a pick. I've tried and tried. I fail royally if I can't feel where my fingers are.. Besides, most of what I play on bass is string by string. I don't know. I'll take the purple fingertips and actually play right to struggling with the pick for the sake of my fingertips.

"Lake Pin... Pontcah... Pontra... Eff... Pont... Ponchartrain"
by Ludo

That word is so hard to spell for me. I can't even say it properly. The lyrics to this are awesome. It's like a horror ballad with this awesome story all wrapped up nice and neat.

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:46 am

I couldn't at first either. lol

Hehe. Nice.

Withering Time - After Forever

Floor Jansen wrote some amazing lyrics for this one.

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 3:50 am

I don't want to switch either. I like playing with my fingers. Even if running my index finger over the mouse pad hurts ha.

I know. I'm special. Razz

I'm sure. You always listen to songs with really pretty lyrics.

"To Lose My Life"
by White Lies

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:18 am

Hehe.

Of course you are. :p

Well, not always. But most the time. Very Happy

Dreamflight - After Forever

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:26 am

Oh, thanks. Razz

Alright. Fine point. Conceded. Not always, but most of the time.

"Ne Me Quitte Pas"
by Regina Spektor

I love in the rain, in the rain, in the rain. Ne me quitte PAS"

I cannot get enough of this woman.

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:32 am

:p

Equally Destructive - After Forever

Such a great song about us being a part of nature and just as destructive as any storm.

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:52 am

Pretty much it equals kick ass then.

"Pigs That Ran Straightaway Into The Water, Triumph"
by The Mountain Goats

Oh scheisse, it just changed on me... This seems to happen to me a lot. I need to learn to type faster.

"Timebomb"
by Beck

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 4:57 am

Haha. It likes to mess with you. Razz

Discord - After Forever

Not watching the video this time... haha.

"The smile that was given light now seems to freeze, but why?"

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:01 am

Just like everything else. Lol.

Well, that's a first! =P

"Helicopter"
by Bloc Party

Wait... Wait... Wait...

It didn't mess with me this time!

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:10 am

Lol.

Well, I was watching the video last time because it was on the deluxe version of the cd I bought. Very Happy

Cry With a Smile - After Forever

"Cry with a smile my heart is bleeding
Bewildered I'm here alone
Why is there pain in a beautiful moment?
Why do I feel so lost, so empty?
Cry with a smile
My heart is healing from pain I knew would come
Why is there luck in a deeply sad moment?
Why do I feel so calm, so peaceful?"

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:17 am

You watch a billion videos.

Way to be depressing. Razz

I am giving myself a healthy dose of Iggy.

"The Passenger"
by Iggy Pop

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:23 am

Well, most of those on youtube are just single-picture vids because I don't have the cds. :/

Hehe

Semblance of Liberty - Epica

The last album (The Divine Conspiracy) showed Mark talking about how all religion is the same basic thing in the songs he wrote. This one (Design Your Universe) he is talking about quantom physics and all the insane shit they allow. Awesome guy.

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:30 am

Well, this is true. They aren't really videos. Lame.

That is pretty freakin' awesome. Sounds like a guy I'd like.

"The Passenger"
by Siouxsie and the Banshees

That's pronounced "susie" if you were wondering (or couldn't figure it out...). And this is an awesome cover. Very Happy

And you know how I feel about covers. And in case you don't, I don't like them over all.

by The Melancholy Spirit Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:35 am

Yeah.

Yeah, I figured it was pronounced that way. Very Happy

Also, I am aware of your thoughts toward them so that is saying something.

Design Your Universe - Epica

One of the songs Mark did the lyrics for. I love these two verses:

"So many people are full of hate
While love and light are in their reach
So many people will harm themselves
But life can be so beautiful

So many people will idolize
While their own success is in their reach
Don't forget you're able to
Design your own universe"

by xraineyesx Tue Nov 16, 2010 5:38 am

I would send you a link to it, because her voice is just so... I can't even describe it... But I don't know if you'd be able to listen to it with the internet situation.

And it is saying something. It is saying something indeed. Very Happy

Those are kickass lyrics. I very much so like them. Very Happy
