a few years ago, possibly on a sunday like today, past the lazily busy streets i was probably checking my mail or browsing through some random page listening to whatever yahoo!videos was playin for me it hit me, the most beautiful sounds ive heard articulately describe exactly why they wanted to break you down so badly in the worst way. makedamnsure was a totaly new sound to me, it wasnt what cool was supposed to be, it wasnt mike shinoda rapping to the sound of rhythmic guitar and searing vocals all choregraphed perfectly with the latest technology, the voice behind this mic., didnt tell you he was cool because he probably wasn't, he didnt preach, he only talked or rather vented a little, but with words the drew a vivid picture of everyday life and the worries that trouble everyday hearts.
"You've got this new head filled up with smoke
I've got my veins all tangled close
To the jukebox bars you frequent
The safest place to hide "
i said vivid didnt i? who do you think this would appeal to? equally imaginative, urban, young, frustrated, lost, emo, angry, hopeless people? well, who else is in? but in their inimitable way they they say what they say with courage, intelligence and old-fashioned straightforwardness that can be seen clearly through the decorational fog that is their music and lyrics!
For example, see if any of these quotes will strike you when ur driving in the city in a winter night playing the radio at any random station, and you will know what i mean by their courage, intelligence and straightforwardness:
"So, we're talking forever ..And you almost feel better ..But, betters no excuse for tonight ..You see, it's never been enough ..Just to leave all you gave up ..But, its never good enough to feel right "-THIS PHOTOGRAPH IS PROOF (I KNOW YOU KNOW)
"Something real, make it timeless, ..An act of God and nothing less will be accepted. ..Now if you're calling me out, ..Then count me out. " - DIVINE INTERVENTION
"Who's to say you have to go? (I could go all night)..Well say you have to go (I could go all...)..To hell with you and all your friends..To hell with you and all your friends, it's on" - A DECADE UNDER THE INFLUENCE
"She says live up to your first impression ..Well my best side was your worst invention " - ONE EIGHTY BY SUMMER
the intensity of their emotions and the mercilessness of their lyrics will certainly captivate any listener who can relate to it.
