Disaster Knocking...

What do you do when life throws at you such a shock, that even after stabilizing yourself, you get goose-bumps the moment you think about it??? What can you do when you have to choose between two situations where you know that either ways the outcome is disastrous??? Today, when I was least expecting anything in a slow paced day, a major shock landed up at my doorstep to say hi. And boy, did it overstay its welcome!!!

I guess not all the things in life are fathomable. Like why would a certain individual do a certain act in a certain way?!?!? We would never understand that. There're certain things that just take place, and unless and until we're a part of it, we don't really understand how can such a thing happen!!! No amount of empathy works out at that point of time. And the worst part is when you're clueless and blank and the other person is looking up to you for help!! How can you help?? You want to try your level best yet you fail to offer any solution. For you, that incident seems so far fetched and unreal that at times you wish that you just open your eyes and all this turns out to be a dream.

How you wish for the best outcome of the situation, yet you know in your mind, irrespective of your choice, things will go wrong for sure. And when you have to brace yourself for a deadly outcome, knowing that it will come irrespective of the time delay, then it's even worse. Maybe I'm sounding way too abstract but that's the most I can offer to share. Things seem grim as of now, but hoping for the best possible outcome. It's like being given a choice between an hydrogen bomb & a nuclear bomb. No matter which one you choose, both will cause wide-scale, unimaginable destruction, but yet you gotta pick one which seems to be the lesser of the two evils.

Songs That Evoke Extreme Emotions:

Forty Foot Echo - Brand New Day:

A lover feeling extremely sorry for all the mistakes he has committed in the past, and is wanting his girl-friend to come back. The lyrics say so much in so little and even though they're not literal but abstract, they convey so much about relationships.

The lyrics and the melody just takes you into some other state, make you feel euphoric, and romantic as well.


Scott Stapp - Relearn Love:

Switchfoot - Twenty-Four:

Very deep and powerful song. It is about all of the things one struggles with and how many times you fall down.. Since John Foreman was 24 when he wrote this, he talks about how he's fallen down every year of his life... full of screw ups. But this song is about surrendering to God.. "Raising the dead in me" is about God reviving the his spirit... And he's basically saying he's not going to give up even though things have changed so much around him, including himself.


Breaking Benjamin - Diary Of Jane:

Switchfoot - You:

A perfect song to dedicate to your soul-mate (the Mr./Ms. Perfect)

It's the lyrics that'll get you.  The song absorbs you into itself, and specially, (once again) it's the lyrics that will mesmerize you.


Poets Of The Fall - All The Way/4 U:

It's about the guy promising the girl to be there for her at any time she wants him... The way it's sung takes you into a state of trance, specially the last para...
