Shadow Moses by Bring Me The Horizon
I am going to take a different approach; I love talking about the awakening of one's soul into one's true reality but, storytelling does not always grab everyone's attention, and factual information is a bore to those who do not understand. But I have an idea on what does grab an audience's attention, Music and Subliminal messages. This is a review of the song Shadow Moses by Bring Me the Horizon, from the Album Sempiternal that was released April 1, 2013. The album genre is Pop/Rock and the type of style of the album is Metalcore; Heavy Metal, Alternative/Indie Rock. I choose this song because of the popularity within my generation and generations before me and after me from the style and the band itself. I had also chosen this specific song from the album because of its connection to the Dark Knight of one's soul. For every individual their experience of the awakening to their truth of soul is unique and intimate, and every single one of us reach a point of the dark knight of the soul, the true revelation of the "darkest parts" of our soul and realizing the light through that darkness. Once the light is found, many people go and be in life with careers, and lifestyle choices with their soul in alignment within themselves for the rest of their lives. This was deemed as taboo or a form of conspiracy from the 80's to late 2000's to talk about it in its purest form, so many artists had to become creative and use subliminal messages to reach the unconscious mind of many people around the world, causing them to wait patiently for this time in our lives where it is now well known and accepted by many. Even though it is still a matter of perspective and there are others who do not see this as importance or do not grasp the idea of the fully, it is something beautiful to witness within our era were the masses finally awaken.

Shelly Perel Shares "Don't try" Music Video
Shelly Perel makes her 2022 return with a fun, uplifting record, "Don't try." "Don't try" is the first single from her upcoming debut album, "Patience And Stuff." The track is chock-full of sounds that make it impossible to put the song in one lane: Alternative, Indie Pop, R&B, Neo-Soul, etc. - the song is truly genre-bending. Shelly Perel utilizes her soothing, soulful vocals to create a nostalgic, but fresh sounding jam.

The Yardbirds Still Blasting Their Classic Rock Guitars
Photo by ultomatt Any mention of the Yardbirds almost immediately turns the conversation to the bandās three trailblazing classic rock guitarists ā Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page. Often lost in those five decadesā old riffs, the founder and composer of all those songs must feel somewhat slighted in the way heās so effortlessly written off the pages of oral history.

Clare Torry and the Great Gig. Top Story - August 2022.
I have always been fascinated with the stories behind those moments in the arts when one person, event, change, movement or accident created something very new and exciting; something that no one else could have done. This is the story of one woman who does not have the level of fame that is equal with her role in popular music history. There might be some fanatics out there who do know her and even love her, but I have had too many responses over the years when I mention this story gape and feel as though they are learning something new and exciting. I hope that this adds to the story of one of my favourite groups and that you also feel as though you have discovered something new.

Why Chicago is the best music hub in America
Chicago is a diamond in the rough. Settled in the heart of the midwest, Illinois is not as flashy as New York or as dreamy as California. As such, it is often overlooked as a prime destination for the big dreamersāthe actors, the writers, the musicians. But nobody offers such a diverse, growing community like Chicago.

It's still falling down...
Thank you for the track All Falls Down. A long time ago, when life was simpler, this was simply a song with a funky beat and great lyrics that had a great vibe to it. Those were my adolescent days with my juvenile problems that felt like true cataclysmic catastrophes. Those would pale in comparison to the things that stress me today. This song speaks volumes about the trials and tribulations one will encounter on the road to glory. Iām sure we all know how the song goes, but take into consideration the separate phases the song goes through in just a matter of minutes. Now Iām writing solely based on my own experiences and interpretations of the song. Iāve second-guessed both of my degrees from the moment I got them because itās so hard to find passion in a field with little to no grey area. āThat major that she majored in donāt make no money.ā Story of my life. Because the money to be made entails becoming a person Iām not equipped to be. Selling yourself for a dollar is the theme. I thought I could find security in a field that wouldnāt deviate so far from the rules and that hasnāt been the case. The song itself reminds me that things will continue to go wrong as long as you keep focusing on all the wrongs around you. It takes a strong mind to be able to see the positives around you whenever everything seems darkest. The song will transcend time and generations because the problems depicted in the song have continued to plague our society. Many will criticize a person that decides to overlook their shortcomings for the pursuit of happiness. But those same people will also advise you to do what makes you happy. The contradiction lies in the fact that advice can only seem sound when that person is happy with their situation. The struggles we encounter will always be in abundance. It helps define us because the person that rises from being knocked down is never the same person that went down. You rise a little tougher, a little wiser, a lot more determined.
