Do you feel condemned just being there?

Listening to: Brand New // Jesus Christ

Jesse Lacey has one of the most haunting voices I have ever heard.
But the thing that appeals to me most are his lyrics.

Why did I not try to listen to them earlier?
The hooks, the chorus, the bridge. The words. Especially the words.

Especially The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.
It’s incredible listening to this album. It's soothing yet bitter. Calming ... yet you can still feel the anger, the rage surging through Jesse's screams, his whispers and the melodic riffs.
The lyrics are just so ... artistic. Indescribable, that's what they are.
Words of a poet. A writer who has the ability to strike chords in people's hearts.

It's so painfully unbelievable to know that there's so much raw talent oozing out of an individual.

And on another musician: Andrew McMahon.
The Glass Passenger. Still waiting.
Soon soon soon.

Also, the tracks on Fightstar's Alternate Endings compilation is amazing. Their B-Sides are spot on. It's funny how a lot of Fightstar's songs are inspired by Neon Genesis Evangelion.
Gah, why are they so good?
