I'm 25 and never really listened to any of this stuff growing up, when I would hear it on the radio and stuff I was like "eh, it's okay I guess". One day the floodgates blew wide open out of nowhere and I was able to fully appreciate all the raw power behind all of this. I think I was closer with my ex's mom than my ex for this exact reason lol. It's just so fucking cool dude and it doesn't rely on cheap gimmicks or cheesy lyrics or deafening baselines to make a statement.

Proppa. Thank you for a great post. I'm really curious to learn more about your "floodgate" moment. Were you high? . Depressed? A major event occur? Have you reflected on that moment much?

It was more real than real life. I'll never forget it. It literally spoke to me and I've believed in God ever since. It's like they're trying to tell me something, something you can't communicate with words, and deep down I know what it is but I just can't quite seem to grasp it just yet. It's not just music to me. I hear certain songs and I just instantly know where it's coming from. Like color in a world of gray. Through music I met a man I've never seen before, who was locked away within the confines of my mind.

I wonder how many hundreds of times I've listened to that song. One of the greatest bands ever!

I like Styx but have always hated this song
[–] ElectricCanabull [S] ago
I get it.

Always loved this song.
[–] ElectricCanabull [S] ago
Me too. Been years since I even thought about it. #allyoucaneat inspired me with his Police song.
[–] ATX_1138 ago
This is a Police song that has stuck with me the most and seems to feel eerily prophetic.
