No not India.... Indie music! =D To me, personally, Indie music is a tricky genre of music to appreciate that takes time to enjoy. Tyrone, one of my guy pals, is crazy about Indie and it was because of his interest, that I wanted to explore it and see what I would find. I'm not the world's biggest Indie fan I'll admit...but I have actually enjoyed some Indie-style songs! I was introduced to a band called MEW and so far, my favourite song from them is "The Zookeeper's Boy".
2 things that I find oddly interesting about Indie music.
1) The lyrics aren't straight forward. Sometimes they can be but most times you have to read "between the lines".
2) The style of music itself is unique.
Here is an extract from the lyrics of the song "The Zookeeper's Boy":
In a submersible I can hardly breathe
As it takes me inside, so the light sings
Answer me truthfully, do the clouds kiss you?
With meringue-coloured hair, I know they cannot
So are you my lady, are you?
So are you my lady, are you?
The rain, the rain, the rain is falling down
The cars remain
As you can see, the lyrics are sorta like literature...you have to see what the words itself mean and put together the puzzle to uncover the true meaning =D I might try to put this song on my blog...
**WARNING** Some of you may find the song just plain weird! LoL xD
