In This Moment

I don't know much about this band, but the main purpose it to show you how amazing the voice can be in music. How much a singer can change their voice. Maria Brink is a perfect example of this. Honestly the first song that i heard by In this moment was called Blood the first place i heard this song was on the radio, i honestly didn't really like this song, ( i still don't) but i decided to look In This Moment up, to see what else they had to offer, to see what other songs they had knowing id find at least one that i happened to like. What i found was really interesting, i like pretty much all of their other songs. When i looked up the lyrics to the song Blood i actually decided that i like the lyrics as well, so i tried to see if i could find an acoustic version, and i was impressed by this. I love the acoustic version and it is very different than the original. take a look for yourself blood acoustic. Maria has an amazing talent, not only can she scream, but she can sing amazingly she has a beautiful voice and a wide range. The song that i happen to like the most is very interesting, its called Whore  when i first heard it Maria sounds like a male screamer, showing how talented she is. She can go from calm and beautiful, sounding very elegant, to screaming/singing like a women, to scream/singing like a male almost. Not only does her voice interest me the bands lyrics are amazing. they make me interested and i honestly am looking forward to the next time that they are in town so that i can go see them live. take a closer look at bands even if the first song you hear is one you dont like, you might find something amazing.

Music in society

Im going to use this post for a little bit of a rant. I'm going to post about music in society (as you see in the post title). Our society seems to be a little obsessed with the media, when i say a little i really mean a lot. Our society is so obsessed with the media, that things that are posted dont seem to be just about news, politics, etc, its also about actor, and music, etc. These topics are all talked about daily but the problem is that they are all put in the same type of categories. So when you log on to your news site, weather it be cnn, yahoo, or whatever, there is always the option of choosing topics that are all headlined right next to each other, you get things like "Obama Care website problems" and headlined right next to it will be something about a famous person that is some nonsense that we for some reason seem to be obsessed with.

The problem with us being so obsessed with this nonsense about these famous actors or artists is that we choose this topic over the politic topics, because it sounds more interesting, because it isnt boring, because the writer draws your attention in with some crazy title. We eventually forget about the politics topic, we become more uneducated about what is happening to our nations, but we know everything that is going on in Miley Cyrus' life, we know whats new with the Kardashians, we know what is going on with the famous people that we love so much. We know what band is going on tour when, and with who, but what teenagers really should be learning isn't about these famous people, they should be learning how to understand, and research what it is that's going on around them.

Dont get me wrong, im not saying that its wrong to know about famous people (my whole blog is to inform people about famous artists and music), im not saying that you cant research whats going on in your favorite actors, or musicians life, but there comes a point where its a little crazy, when you know more about them than politics in our country, you've become uneducated on important topics. This is coming from someone who is obsessed with music, i am obsessed with learning about my favorite artists, knowing when theyre coming into town to see them live, knowing just about everything there is to know about Pink Floyd, i read books about musicians, weather it be autobiographies, biographies, or just simply a post about good bands or anything music related, but i also am educated on politics, i know what is going on around me, in this Nation.

I love music, probably more than most people, i listen to music probably about 20 hours a day, I love to learn about music more than any other topic in the world. I click on the famous people headline before the politics one, but the important thing is clicking the politics one too. So please help our nation, become more educated on things around us, learn about politics as well as famous people, help our society become educated.
