..and yet, I think that somehow I already know the answer. But I'm probably going to keep that for last, just in case someone's really reading all this crap.
It's been a fantastic week so far, and somehow I believe (delving once more in a delightful state of mind, part childishness and part foolishness) that it's just going to get better.
So, lacking sleep, after some hard work and a nice evening in the "patinoire" of Lausanne.. here I am exploring my music library and playing the following game: after putting my iTunes on "shuffle mode", I'm going to answer some questions just following the stream of random songs. So.. here we go! ^^
How are you feeling today?
I feel it all, Feist
What can I say more? A touch of joy with a bit of weirdness from this lovely Canadian perfectly fits the moment. Couldn't have found something better in.. well, let's say 10000 days ;)
Will you get far in life?
Sleeping with Lions, The 69 eyes
Ouch, this second tracks bring me back violently on the ground.
Dreaming of silence
Of the gentle rain
Sleeping with lions
In the temple of pain.
Oftern people hurts each other as days pass by, true. But there's much more than that in life, so.. I'll just keep my fingers crossed for the moment being.
How do your friends see you?
The throne of tragedy, Arcturus
*Cough cough*… even better. Lovely song though, and fascinating dark lyrics. Something that I'd like to keep with me through all my life.
What is today going to be like?
Pas d'idées, Prohom
I was inclined to say sleepy, and apparently I won't have any inspiration either. Well, we're just humans after all, no?
What is in store for this weekend?
The Day, Lisa Germano
It’s a sunrise
It’s a sunset
It’s the memory of the onset
Of a lifetime full of wonder
And the constant falling under
Full of finding every good thing
To be added to the sadness
Like you’re running from your laughter
And your sense of it’s a wonder
And the only time for brilliance
What did you do to be like this
And what do you do
When you feel it and you don’t go
Pretend that you don’t know
No comment needed.
What song describes you?
Acrid placidity, Meshuggah
An instrumental track from a fantastic Scandinavian band. Just sends shivers down my spine.. but I really hope that in this case iTunes got it wrong.
To describe your grandparents?
when you lose, Deine Lakaien
Mhhh.. darkwave from Germany. Nice, but again.. is this some sort of bad omen?
How is your life going?
Cyberwaste, Fear Factory
I think I should just quit this game or change music.. well, ironic to say the least. Please something more.. lively next time?
What song will they play at your funeral?
Aphelion, Tristania
Ok, what's fair is fair. And somehow this music died with me some years ago, so I won't complain further. It's just some parts of me that probably still exist somewhere..
How does the world see you?
Waiting for the worm, Pink Floyd
Glad that one of my favorite songs ended up here. This album is just.. fantastic. Can't help but cry every time I see it.
Will you have a happy life?
Amerika, Rammstein
Mhhh McDonald and the Dalai Lama, Nike shoes and Muslims..
Well, maybe with Obama my life won't be so bad after all no?
But honestly, how can a country without a real history survive out there? I'm still amazed and scared by that, all at the same time.
What do your friends really think of you?
Programmed, Archive
You try to break out.. You try to break out.. True, always struggling for something. And sometime what's weird is.. I even like what I see in the mirror. Wonderful, isn't it? ^^
Do people secretly lust after you?
Vermilion Pt. 2, Slipknot
Melancholic, in a romantic way. I love this song, and I don't honestly care about secret lusts; I just like when emotions are expressed.
How can I make myself happy?
The Funeral, Band of Horses
Ahhhhhhhhhh.. (nice song though)
What should you do with your life?
The Clock, Thom Yorke
It's not about quantity, just quality. Every star that burns faster shines twice as much..
Will you ever have children?
Dried Sea, Yann Tiersen & Shannon Wright
Guess I'll have to adopt one sooner or later.. ehm.. :S
How would you describe your wife?
Hands open, Snow Patrol
I'm married? Aghhh.. not yet, luckily for humanity.
What will you carreer be like?
Arrache Moi, Louise Attaque
That it means that I'll remain in a french-speaking country? Si jamais.. putain!
Finally, what would your tombstone read?
Goodbye cruel world, Pink Floyd
It fits, doesn't it? Couldn't have asked for anything better.
.. and coming back to the first question, the answer is simply purple.
