Sitting here, listening to music, made me think. How do these groups, bands, rappers, make the choices to put certain words and phrases into their song lyrics? In Mr. Whiffen format: What causes them to make the rhetorical choices they do when it comes to their choice in words? Why does Metallica begin The Unforgiven III with how could he know, this new dark's light, would change his life forever? All these questions, all these wonders, float in my head at times. It is almost philosophical at times. It's these types of thoughts that means my brain is in a good place. I never tend to think about these types of things. I usually would just accept those lyrics as just the way the song begins. But questioning things, that's what seperates the one from the many. And even though I used to tell myself I wanted to be a part of the many, I truly know that I belong apart of the one. I just think its time to start showing that a little bit more often.
Currently Listening to: Metallica - The Unforgiven III(Not completely ironic, as my thought for this entry did stem from Fade to Black.)
