inner demon exposed

For those who know me ,today's musical post will come with no surprise. In fact the surprise is that it took me so long to mention my "inner tormentors". I composed "the agony column" with a full determination to be impartial in musical genres and give credit ,where credit is due,to the few outstanding musical treats that we are rarely bestowed by today's music industry. Yet this determination has been shattered within seconds by a single remembrance of that deep voice and those mesmerizing rhythms. In short: Rammstein.

Whether I show it or not, my ears know no greater pleasure than the musical brilliance of this German band. Brutality, sensibility, passion, decadence,madness, sadness, intensity, sexuality,love,sensuality .... are far too simple words to capture the brilliance hidden in the lyrics that are completed by pure instrumental delight. To me they capture everything I search in music: intelligence, purpose and my inner response. How could I pick just a song that would do them justice? But pick I must..





In hope that this madwoman's ravings did not cause you any psychical harm, I invite you to discover and dissect them yourself. In help for those who do not know German : www.herzelied.com offers us the English translation of the lyrics.



And such I end my post, in wonderful exhaustion, and wish you as usual a tolerable day.
Your humble servant,
little obsessed myself.
