Somewhat Damaged - Nine Inch Nails
I think of myself as being quite mellow and I think it's because whenever I even begin to get angry or anything, I vent via music and this is the perfect example of that. I mean, I think he's screaming "F*** the rest and stab it dead" or something at some point and that's, like, my jam. If I'm having a bad day, I'll turn it up to 10 and I'm so happy in that space. I just feel ecstatic. It's like turning some sort of valve, some sort of release.
I was head boy at a private Christian school and I was like a cardboard cut-out Christian boy. In a way, that song opened up a lot of doors for me. I probably felt a bit naughty listening to it.
High - Lighthouse Family
Any opportunity I can get to play this to a big group of people or a group that can't escape, I will. I mean, it's the opposite of Somewhat Damaged, isn't it? It's like it's been run through an algorithm to make the most uplifting tune. But it's also good. I genuinely like it. I don't enjoy it ironically. I just think it's so majestic. And I'm yet to hear a song that is more uplifting and positive both in its lyrical content and the musicianship. His vocals are just so absolutely smooth and it builds and builds into this giant chorus. I don't think you could play that song to anyone and they wouldn't enjoy it. I'm hoping that people that are reading this will go and listen to it, because it's so majestic.
