I Will Not Bow - Breaking Benjamin


Dear Reader,


I figured this would be a good time to bring in a new.. series ish type thing to my diary.

I want to start writing about music that has been special and meaningful to me in the past, and in my current life.
I haven't thought of what to call this series yet, but I will.


I'm the type of person who can listen to the same music for years over and over, but at the same time slowly add more to the list.


Of course, each song effects me differently as well as each genre.


Rock music makes has always just made me feel strong, powerful..
and it makes me angry pretty quickly.
A good kind of angry.

Whenever I walked through the halls at school,
I always listened to music.
Granted, it wasn't always rock, but when I did, it was such a confidence boost. It made me walk with more of a swagger.
It brings out edginess and roughness in me that I love.

The song I wanted to talk about was...

I Will Not Bow by Breaking Benjamin.

When I listen to music,
I think of situations in my head..

and when I listen to this song,
I imagine a few different situations.

First one, was walking into school,
And something throws a bus at the school,
And me having super powers or something,
Catches it and fights the whatever threw the bus on the soccer field. xD


Another situation I thought of, was being on this bridge we used to go on when my cousin lived really far away...
And me and some of my friends and classmates are on a school bus.. and there's another monster or whatever in the water under the bridge.. and starts to break it.. and I have to get everyone off the bridge before it collapses.
And as the song reaches the climax.. is when everyone but my bus is off the bridge... and I'm the one driving.. and I have to drive up the "ramp" that is made out of the piece of bridge that we're on sinking into the water.. and make it across onto the land.


And yet another situation I thought of, was being in the lunchroom...
And at the climax of the song... these shadow creature things all jump on me, and like a wave that radiates off of me throws them away..


In a lot of the rock music I listen too,
The situations I cook up in my head involve a lot of fighting and anger... situations that I feel fit the song..
And the person fighting something evil off, is almost always me.


I'm sure there's something underlying about that...
But the genre has always provided an outlet for a lot of anger inside me... allows me to feel it without it consuming me.

It allows me to fight in my head, when I can't in the real world.


Sincerely,
MusicAppreciator
