funny stuff music. sometimes thuggish stuff can strike a core, sort of tribal war beats of the
boo yaa tribe kind. i've seen what a power song can do for thugs, what it does for weightlifters,
what it does for training in the martial arts. hell, i've even seen a martial arts school do forms to
music, although i must say they looked like stark raving idiots but i'm sure it's because my formal
training was about quietly taking sensei's abuse and loving it
.
regarding songs that build confidence prepare one for battles or various sorts. whilst the obvious
heavy metal and rap stuff comes up, i've also found it's antithesis to be true. songs so syrup'y sweet
and gentle that they sort of serve as a wind up, from the peace and comfort--that gets disturbed and lashes out [incensed] the other direction. looking for metaphors, sometimes it helps. like being at a peaceful place and suddenly thugs come in...you are so incensed that you were finally feeling peace that you are prepared to have them feel that level of insult in kind. i've felt things like this coming back from the mountains, where everything was: safe; doors left open; walking in the middle of the road without having to look.
when i re-entered the city, i wasn't ready to put back on my 'shit'robe'. i wanted to remain quiet and left alone. i was more edge now, then before i left. does that explain why this next song sort of actually
serves to put my head in the right place for fighting. because if it doesn't, i've just run out of metaphors and analogies, etc... and it's a lost cause, suffice to say that this song sort of does it for me.
innocense that shouldn't be tampered with. or said another way,
i finally feel peaceful and you want to f^&k with that?yes i know i'm contrary, no news there
