“Farah” The Musical – 1st Post.
This is a list of ten songs that would need to be featured if I were ever made into a musical. I cannot put them in any sort of order. Each symbolizes something different, collectively creating the framework of me as a person.
* “Nocturne” – TesseracT.
A complex, far-reaching sound. Reminds me of a dark night and glittering full moon. Two of the things I absolutely love. “Nocturne” puts me on the steps in front of my house, looking up into a pitch black sky.
* “Bleeding The Orchid” – Smashing Pumpkins.
(If fear conquers easy,
I can lead on.
Milk from the flower,
Blood from the dawn.)
Thoughtful, provoking lyrics that speak of perseverance and doing the impossible. This song, although melancholy, inspires me to reach for the beauty in life. And orchids are my favorite flower.
* “Spellbound” – Lacuna Coil.
A lilting, Gothic feel. Reminds me of velvet, candlelight and a much older time. This song captures my love for all things novel and new. I tend to be naturally inquisitive. Even when times get rough, I still find myself “Spellbound” by everything this world has to offer.
* “This Calling” – All That Remains.
(Not falling victim to the fire that burns inside of me,
Though I am fearful I will not prevent this tragedy.)
This song displays as much passion as I feel. I cannot usually resist the temptation to do anything I feel strongly about, even if it is not in my best interest. Impulsive.
* “Supercrush!” – The Devin Townsend Project.
Complicated and moody. This song has so many different layers, similar to the way I deal with most situations in my life. My emotions and perception are always subject to change. I just have to choose the lens I look through.
* “November Rain” – Guns N’ Roses.
Sad, retrospective. I am a November child, and I feel like this song perfectly depicts the mood of that month and season. This song speaks of independence and reliability on oneself to get through tougher times.
* “Long Live The Misanthrope” – Soilwork.
Strong, driven. There comes a turning point in everyone’s life, a major one in mine being that I had to learn to take control and not let the actions of others affect me as much.
* “Wherever I May Roam” – Metallica.
(And the earth becomes my throne,
I adapt to the unknown.
Under wandering stars I’ve grown,
By myself but not alone.)
I have an admitted addiction to traveling. I love the rush, even the shock, of being in an entirely foreign place. This song reminds me of Egypt. How a person can share such a strong bond with a country they have never been to before. How a person can keep moving and never miss home.
* “Search And Destroy” – Skunk Anansie (cover of Iggy Pop & The Stooges).
This song just reminds me of a good time. Having fun, being young, no cares, no worries. Natural rebelliousness.
* “React” – 3.
Secretive, mysterious. I am deeply attracted to the occult and the unknown. The best things in life are hidden.
