Am I married to my favorite band?
Do you also feel like you’re kind of married to your favorite band? Like there’s no one like them, nobody can take their place, they will always be part of your life no matter what.
And like you go through phases with them. you listen to new stuff, you like more artists, you become obsessed with these new music makers, but then, it’s never the same.
And then you play your favorite band and you get the butterflies in your stomach, and as the minutes pass, every lyric is reminding you why you fell in love with them in the first place. And you fall in love, again. Because they feel like home.
I love this band so much, and I always will.

a brief, informal essay about Styx and the Soviet Union
Why was Styx banned from the Soviet Union because of “violence, vandalism”*? I understand the USSR’s desire to ban it, but considering the law banning them and many other rock bands was signed between 1983 and 1985, and Kilroy Was Here was released in February of 1983, they would have a much more reasonable excuse to ban them. 
Kilroy Was Here was made as a rock-opera, but satirized the current happenings in the USSR. They make numerous references to bombs, sure, but was clearly condemning the bombs, and, consequently, the war itself. They also make many on-the-nose references to the Cold War itself. There is a song literally called “Cold War,” and on top of that there is a line from their song  “Double Life” that says “The other side of the Berlin Wall is // Not far enough to avoid the call.” On the topic of the album, the rock-opera’s plot follows a lead singer of a band who was put in jail essentially for having a rock concert. The setting is a time where rock was banned. Meanwhile, the USSR was LITERALLY banning nearly every popular rock band at the time. In the album, they also had a song called “Heavy Metal Poisoning.” This song was made to make fun of the conservatives who claimed that rock and roll was devil’s music and dangerous, so the song heavily leans on the idea the rock led to “sex and drugs, sex and drugs, and rock and roll.” I guess this song could be used to show violence? Kind of? The only other song in their entire discography (and trust me, I’ve heard it all) that I could think of is “High Time.” This song’s chorus is this:
'Cause it's high time
For us to start a revolution
High time
Just like an A-bomb explosion
High time
It ain't the music that's in question
High time
It's more the freedom of expression
However, this still doesn’t support violence, merely revolution and the freedom of expression. This brings me to my final point.
Styx should have been banned for being “anti-Soviet Propaganda,” which is a reason the USSR used to ban Black Sabbath and AC/DC*. Kilroy Was Here by itself supports revolution and is clearly anti-soviet. Meanwhile, there is little to no violence in Styx songs.

Sixpence,
Tumblr media
Sixpence None the Richer, often just called "Sixpence," is an awesome pop/rock band originating from New Braunfels, Texas, before making it big in Nashville, Tennessee. Their name comes from a cool passage in C.S. Lewis' book "Mere Christianity." You gotta check them out because their 1999 self-titled album is a gem! It's a beautiful blend of melodic Christian rock and the groovy vibes of 60s British invasion music that makes you want to dance.
The band's core duo, Matt Slocum, the talented guitarist and songwriter, and Leigh Nash, an amazing vocalist, first crossed paths at a church retreat in the early '90s. Fast forward to 1997, they signed with Steve Taylor's Squint Entertainment, gearing up for the release of their self-titled album, which gradually started catching the ears of a bigger audience.
Then came the magic of "Kiss Me" in 1999, catapulting Sixpence None the Richer into the national pop scene. And guess what? That hit tune was even featured in the romantic comedy 'She's All That'! A total must-watch, by the way!
But they didn't stop there! The band's cover of The La's song "There She Goes" in the following year became another smash hit. They included it as a bonus 13th track on their already awesome self-titled album, which had several releases. Sixpence None the Richer truly knows how to rock and captivate audiences!
In the year 2004, in February the band announced their disbandment. But let me tell you, that news didn't dampen my love for their music one bit! Their songs became my solace, my sanctuary, each melody carrying its beautiful message. Born in 2003, I practically grew up with their tunes as the soundtrack to my life even though they disbanded a year later I was born. And you know what? It was all thanks to my parents and my mom's best friend, my beloved aunt, who had impeccable taste in music. Their influence shaped my musical journey.
I can't help but admit that listening to Sixpence None the Richer's music feels like a warm hug from a cozy cloud. It's like being whisked away into a dreamy garden bursting with colorful butterflies, buzzing bees, and fragrant blossoms, twirling under the golden rays of sunlight. It's pure magic; their melodies breathe life into my soul, sparking a vibrant energy within me. And hey, as I'm about to turn 21 in just 15 days, reminiscing about their songs feels like taking a stroll down memory lane. It's nostalgia hitting me in the best possible way.
Their music isn't just tunes to me; it's a tapestry woven with threads of joy and heartfelt memories. Through the highs and lows of life, it feels like Sixpence None the Richer has been by my side, a steadfast companion. They've become my haven, my go-to whenever life gets tough or when I just want to relive moments filled with happiness.
So here I am, forever grateful for the impact their music has had on me. With every note, they've etched themselves into my life, making me feel like I'm floating on cloud nine, dancing through life's beautiful moments. Sixpence None the Richer isn't just a band; they're my timeless comfort and my everlasting musical haven.
Siangco, N.S.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
#i used to think it was romantic too and then i was like. now i see it as a HUGE red flag#writeblr#it is also almost EXCLUSIVELY said by immature ppl who think this is normal#fyi even if u think it's funny and ur like 'im an introvert it's just TRUE' like. you need therapy (ily tho)#healed introversion is just ''i would prefer to be by myself'' not ''i hate every person'' ... hate is not normal. that is not healthy#im sorry. i know it feels accurate. but if you're walking around with that kind of rage....#1. you're making a LOT of assumptions about every single person u have ever met. which is often unfair and unkind#and also usually involves judging people based on their worst moments or little mistakes#2. you are being unfair to the person who is ur ''exception''#3. there is a VAST difference between ''ur my favorite person'' and ''the ONLY person i like.''#idk i think this is just a personal bias thing tbh#im sure there are people who have this experience normally#but i have YET to find a man who thinks like this and ISNT absolute DOGSHIT. although tbh.... like. im sure he exists#when u hit like 30 some of the things that were once kind of hot now just sound fucking exhausting. like ''im in a band''#edit in the tags: i used to kind of be like this too. but the thing is that like. my life became so much more peaceful#once i started believing that people are generally good. like yes i am mad at the world at large#but it's just.... a very hard way to live. you're not a bad person or wrong for the ways other people hurt you and taught you to be angry.#but that anger will continue to hurt YOU. it will punish YOU. it will prevent YOU from making new deep connections. it will protect you yes#but it will also cause MASSIVE blowback. bc if you lose the One Person... your life will fall apart. i know this personally.#i really recommend just trying to be... cautiously optimistic instead. like. yes#people can be horrible and cruel and there are some communities (incels for example) that aren't worth that optimism#but i think like... most people will hold a door for you . most people want to help you find your wallet .#i hope one day you are able to find peace. i hope that rage eventually smooths over. i know how hard it is PERSONALLY#and i know what must have happened to you. and im deeply deeply sorry we share the same wound.#but i promise - sometimes we all need someone else to help us carry the weight. eventually the rage has to die so that we can let help in#i had to spend years biting at outstretched hands. i still often do. im still very wary . and my heart breaks that you flinch too.#here's the thing: i don't blame you. but we were both acting out of fear and pain. .... not out of healthy behavior. and ... change#was needed. i needed change too. rage was useful for a while. then it just left me isolated and bitter. i had to (with effort)#choose to let that rage go. and let people in . VERY SLOWLY THO LOL
