• Today's Reccomendation; Jesus Christ by Brand New. At least read the lyrics. Which brings me to this entry. So, again, I found myself reading Quit_Lollygagging's journal. Again, she got me thinking. I wonder if she's ever read mine... Yeah, I fully realize that I sound like a huge stalker creep. But all I'm saying is she's refreshing. Introspective. But anyway. She was talking about death. About where we go. And it reminded me so much of the song Jesus Christ. Yeah, the one I reccomended up there ^. And basically, the song is so perfect for me right now. It's such a beautiful song. I always seem to forget how much I love it. It's definitely one of my favorites. The song itself is so well thought out, in a way that seems so random. 'What the fuck is she talking about?' What I mean is it's so intricate. Clever. Brilliant. But that way it's laid out, it sounds like Jesse's thoughts just rambled out as they come to his head. Which brings me to the part that Quit_Lollygagging's entry so distinctly reminded me of. Jesus Christ, I'm not scared to die. I'm a little bit scared of what comes after. Do I get the gold chariot? Or do I float through the ceiling? Will I divide and pull apart? Cause my bright is too slight to hold back all my dark. And this ship went down in sight of land. And at the gates does Thomas ask to see my hands? I can't even begin to pick this apart. I would be here for days. And this is only one small part. It's such common thoughts, though. Where are we headed? What will it be like? Then to the part (which happens to come before the part I already mentioned) that always seems to remind me of my life. Jesus Christ, that's a pretty face - The kind you'd find on someone I could save. If they don't put me away, well Well it'll be a miracle. Do you believe you're missing out? That everything good is happening somewhere else? With nobody in your bed, the night's hard to get through. And I will die all alone. And when I arrive, I won't know anyone. Who hasn't had that feeling? Honestly. I've been feeling this way to frequently. I may be happy, but I'm still lonely. I still feel isolated and like I'm missing out. And yeah, there's someone I'm interested. And we talk. But barely. I feel like I have absolutely no chance and it's possibly the most frustrating thing ever. But I promised myself I wouldn't go off on a teenage unrequited love rant. But it's what I'm feeling. Unfortunately. He's a nice boy too. Which is new. Ugh. I'm stopping now before I get insane. Just please buy the cd, download the song, listen to it online, read the lyrics... Just give this song a chance. It's incredible. A complete break down and discussion about this song could go on for weeks. On this site, this song has over 400 comments. People talking about it. Decyphering the symbolism... Again, I'm gunna stop myself before I go off on a rant about this. I just hope you take my advice.
