Devour

People misjudge and misunderstand rock music. Rock music is one of the more emotional genres. Artists that compose rock music get the influence of their songs from their feelings, from real life experiences, from their life. One of the biggest topics, though, is war. It might not seems like it, see the judgment coming in?, but rock musicians hate the wars happening. My favorite band, Shinedown, actually went out to Iraq to meet the troops and play for them. Their song "Devour" was influenced by the trip. Nonpoint's "Frontlines" is about war and fighting. Five Finger Death Punch's "Far From Home" is about troops leaving home and possibly never coming back. Those are the one's I can think of right now, but I'm right, and you know it.

A person's mind is complex. Some are more than others. It seems like a rockstar's mind is the most complex when it come to writing songs. They combine their feelings, their thoughts, their memories, and compose them into the best song they can. They can write about a dream, or a death, or an incident, or a certain feeling about, say, life, or a specific date in time they'll never forget, like the day they become a parent. Anything can be turned into a song, a story, a poem. It just takes really good writers to make it good. Rockstar's are good writers... some are. Everyone misunderstands them, they're songs are great. They have a meaning. At least more of a meaning than some pop songs. Try it out. Please? Then decide if you like rock. Don't hate it without trying it. That's not fair.
