Mexico

You could see me reaching
So why couldn't you have
Met me halfway
You could see me bleeding
But you could not put
Pressure on the wound
You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

You could see me breathing
But you still kept
Your hand over my mouth
You could feel me seething
But you just turned
Your nose up in the air

You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico

You only think about yourself
You only think about yourself
You'd better bend before I go
On the first train to Mexico


This song is by Incubus. What an amazing song seriously. When i went onto one website, a lot of people were ridiculing incubus saying that they had sold out. some others defended them saying their sound has evolved. I disagree with both views. True, some of their older albums S.C.I.E.N.C.E had more funk infused music and more rock but there is honestly no way to criticise a band which makes music like 'mexico'. What an amazing song and i know the lyrics i nice, but the music is infallible. Its song like these which you can just put on loop and keep hearing them and never get sick of them. And those people who say incubus dun make good acoustic songs, FUCK YOU. Incubus makes amazing acoustic songs, and if this isnt proof of it then i honestly dunno what is. This is one of the best acoustic songs i have ever heard. The mellowness is so soothing and as some people on the website said, it is ironic when u read the emotion in the lyrics. I like the guitarist in incubus also, i mean i know that some people will say that omg its so easy to play this song or whatever shit. But i feel that the simplicity is really what makes it so good. Fuck shredding lar, anyone can shred. If i also practise my guitar 24/7 i can shred it one week so fuck shredding. a lot of ppl think that guitarists who shred are damn good or whatever but that is bullshit. to shred is honestly no big deal. Like i definitely believe in the rolling stones top 100 list of greatest guitarists of all time ( except that jack white is in the top 20 which i honestly dunno why) but i was happy frusciante was also there. Look at frusciante he is so skillful on the guitar. He can shred his ass off if he wants to. But even on his solo albums, which are nice, he plays simple stuff. But to come up with the simple stuff is hard, it needs creativity, to put together a set of notes , a riff, something original, yet simple but most mellow and pleasurable to hear. The simple plucking of an acoustic on mexico is just too good. It gives a feeling like u are floating, or travelling, and its ironically so mellow and nice.Time to explore more incubus haha

ROCKY BALBOA

I havent really posted anything for quite some time, but i felt like posting after i watched rocky balboa last night. Like a lot of other people, when i first saw the trailer, i thought that the movie was just gonna be a drag, with stallone exclaiming in the trailer that he was so old and all that stuff. Im a big fan of the rocky series so i had to watch the last movie anyway. I didnt start watching with high expectations, but i found that the movie turned out pretty well actually. First of all, maybe it was a good thing that stallone shows his aging in a lot of ways. The movie seems to have a sombre tone at the start, with him being alone in his house, and then going to the grave of rocky's wife adrian balboa. His son is kinda angry at first with him and they dont really talk that often, mostly cos his son thinks that he is living in the shadow of rocky, cos rocky is really popular and rich. Then they show how rocky runs his restaurant and stuff, but he still doesnt really feel his boxing days are behind him. the whole movie is quite cool, and i think they put the nostalgia factor to good use in the movie, with rocky remembering the old times from the other rocky movies. and then finally he gets down to training to fight the undefeated heavyweight champion dude. Its pretty cool i dont think the movie was overdone or he tried to act like some young guy or anything, so it seemed more realistic and helped the movie. I think stallone did well in portraying rocky's aging and also kinda his loneliness in his older days.
