Hello, I hope that anyone who ever read this has had an excellent Christmas, and if you did not have a happy Christmas, you should feel proud Christmas is not a happy time, we should not believe everything we see in movies or series, the kind of scenes where when Christmas arrives, everyone gets together as a family and leave the problems behind and sit down and everything is fine. almost never there is such a family scene there is always something behind but if you are lucky at some point you should have experienced that feeling I experienced but frankly I have forgotten that, the lesson that Christmas is not always happiness I learned a year ago when my aunt I was passing her last Christmas, she was going through the damn cancer, her illness advanced too fast, I regret not having visited her more, I regret not having let her know that I loved her more but above all I regret not having been able to do more so that her last days were the best, repentance is the worst evil for the human soul because it is something that time captures in our minds and souls. I remember that all the members of the family went to their house and they were there that Christmas with her having a great time, as if they knew it was their last family Christmas with her, I did not want to be part of it, I considered my aunt to be a fighter and she would not give up but three months later she died, I think it is the saddest chapter of life, they are things that you will never heal, she had a lot to offer to life, to the life of her family and now that It is no longer there, it starts every piece of my heart. That was one of the saddest Christmases to see and be with a person you love in a bad state, with tubes in your body, unable to move, it just makes me think that life was never fair for anyone. That Christmas I remember that nobody ate anything, everyone was just beside her talking and sharing the last sighs of life she had left, that's why I think Christmas is the false happiness of society, she deserved all that and But I did not need a time to show her the love and affection I had for her, however my family did everything they could to make her have a better time, I miss her so much, I know she is better but it is really difficult to live without she continued at our side.
my Christmas was disgusting not only because I remembered her, but also because of my depression, it is really difficult as a depression to adapt to the feeling of happiness, I think I perceive Christmas as a false happiness, one that you can not feel because it's not real, it's a false illusion, it's not like when you celebrate your friend's birthday because obviously you feel that happiness or like when you see your boyfriend or girlfriend, you can not compare it but you can not feel it either, and it's a pity that you are judged by not feel a genuine feeling, but what saddens me most is knowing that next Christmas will be like this without feeling that false or momentary happiness because once you see that depression takes hold of a date in your life you never feel again of the same way.
I hope that with time I can improve and move forward without any guilt and finally I share a great song is a cover of Pink Floyd "wish you were here" by Sparklehorse and Radiohead, well with nothing more to say I say goodbye and I hope that if you feel bad for not celebrating Christmas, do not worry there are more like you, and it is also normal not to celebrate Christmas. We read soon.
hola, espero que todo aquel que algún día lea esto haya tenido una excelente navidad, y si no tuviste una feliz navidad, tu deberías sentirte orgulloso la navidad no es una época de felicidad, no debemos creer todo lo que vemos en películas o series, el tipo de escenas en donde cuando llega la navidad todos se reúnen en familia y dejan de lados los problemas y se sientan y todo bien. casi nunca existe tal escena familiar siempre hay algo de detrás pero si eres afortunado en algún momento debiste experimentar esa sensación yo la experimente pero francamente yo he olvidado eso, la lección de que la navidad no siempre es felicidad la aprendí hace un año cuando mi tía estaba pasando su ultima navidad, ella estaba pasando por el maldito cáncer, su enfermedad avanzo demasiado rápido, lamento no haberla visitado mas, lamento no haberle hecho saber que la quería mas pero sobre todo lamento no haber podido hacer mas para que sus últimos días fueran los mejores, el arrepentimiento es el peor mal para el alma humana por que es algo que el tiempo captura en nuestras mentes y almas. yo recuerdo que todos los miembros de la familia fueron a su casa y estuvieron esa navidad con ella pasándola de maravilla, como si ellos supieran que era su ultima navidad familiar con ella, yo no quise ser participe de ello, consideraba que mi tía era una luchadora y no se daría por vencida pero tres meses después falleció, creo que es el capitulo mas triste de vida, son cosas de las que no jamas sanaras, ella tenia mucho que ofrecerle a la vida, a la vida de su familia y ahora que ya no esta, parte cada trozo de mi corazón. esa fue una de las navidades mas triste por que ver y estar con una persona a la que amas en un estado mal, con tubos en su cuerpo, sin poder moverse, simplemente me hace pensar que la vida nunca fue justa para nadie. esa navidad recuerdo que nadie comi nada, todos solo estaban a un lado de ella hablando y compartiendo los últimos suspiros de vida que le quedaban, es por eso que creo que la navidad es la falsa felicidad de la sociedad, ella se merecía todo eso y mas no necesitaba una época para poder demostrarle el cariño y amor que se le tenia, sin embargo mi familia hizo todo lo que pudo para que ella lo pasara mejor, yo la extraño tanto, se que ella esta mejor pero es realmente difícil vivir sin que ella continué a nuestro lado.
mi navidad fue un asco no solo por que me acorde ella, si no tambien por mi depresión, es realmente difícil como depresivo adaptarte al sentimiento de felicidad, creo que percibo la navidad como eso como una falsa felicidad, una que no puedes sentir por que no es real es una falsa ilusión, no es como cuando celebras el cumpleaños de tu amigo por que obviamente sientes esa felicidad o como cuando ves a tu novio o novia, no puedes compararlo pero tampoco puedes sentirlo, y es una pena que te juzguen por no sentir una sensación genuina, pero lo que mas me entristece es saber que todas las navidades siguiente serán como esta sin sentir esa felicidad falsa o momentánea por que una ves que la depresión se apodera de una fecha de tu vida jamas vuelves a sentirte de la misma forma.
espero que con el tiempo pueda mejorar y seguir adelante sin algún sentimiento de culpa y por ultimo les comparto una canción bastante genial es un cover de Pink Floyd "wish you were here" by Sparklehorse and Radiohead, bueno sin nada mas que decir me despido y espero que si te sientes mal por no celebrar la navidad, no te preocupes hay mas como tu, y tambien es normal no celebrar la navidad. Nos leemos pronto.
Hello fans of music in Spanish and English, I write to you from the beautiful lands of Mexico, in the following post I will expose two international bands that has generated a lot of noise since their formation in the pop rock music scene, they were noticed in the last decade but his music has lasted for a long time.I gave myself the task of comparing these two successful bands that has managed to generate a legacy in music with their respective musical styles.
the killers vs motel
The first band is originally from the United States, international fame jumped in 2005 with great songs like"WhenYouWereYoung »,« Mr.Brightside»,«AllestosThingsThatI'veDone ",sopeopleI talk aboutTHEKILLER,the band led by a rather talented person band in general I can say that I love the music of this band as they are varied, although in his last work fell a bit, I'm I'm sure we'll still have the killer for a while.
Brandon Flowers from the killer 2015
The second band is the representative of Mexico, it is one of the bands that I heard when I was amorrito, a word that we use here in Mexico to refer to teenagers between 5 and 15 years old.This musical group was released at the end of 2006 with songs like"Dime Ven","Far Away We're Better","Siempre Tú",the band is led byRodrigo DávilaChapoy, a young composer with musical studies in addition to playing the guitar and participating in the production process of many of the successes of this successful Mexican band.
rodrigo davila from motel 2016
In this post I will compare some things likelyrics in lyrics,sounds,art in music videos and why I thinkmotelsare the Latin version of theAmerican group, although I think that themotelwas inspired bythe killer,the Mexican bandevolved and He has opted for other musical styles.
Beginnings and beginning of their music
It is very difficult not to be attracted to the voice ofBrandonFlowers, without hesitation, has a unique voice tone, his interpretation level is really good, on the other hand, theMotelgroupwithRodrigo DávilaChapoy, hehas a vocal style so rock, his voice is really strong and in each song you can feel the right feeling.In his first songs we can find great successes withthe killerlike forgetting and not singing the success of 2004,"Mr.Brightside",one of the best songs of the band and is considered an anthem to the joy for this generation of young people.Meanwhile in the year 2006 the motel band made a song quite come entitledDime Ven, with which they managed to place themselves in the taste of young Mexicans and in all Latin America
TheKillers- Mr.Brightside
Motel - Tell Me Come
.
Lyrics and songs with messages
In music there should always be songs with messages that remind us that the world can be a better place, without doubting these bands have beautiful songs with a strong lyric that screams to the world freedom, love and overcoming, perhaps exaggerated but good, in the beautiful story«WhenYouWereYoung»tell us the tragic life of a Mexican couple, as the woman in love dies of literal love, although it is very sad we can appreciate that the real message is that we can decide to let someone love but we can put a stop to the moment when we feel hurt and betrayed because it is something inevitable.On the other hand, in the Mexican version ofthe killer, we can see a very striking video by themotel,in humble opinionone of his best videos is quite explicit lyrics but heexplained:"tryto be strong before a breakup loving , the vocalist tries to send a message of acceptance at the end of a love, it is described through the video that the couple is ready to finish, we have all been in a loving relationship where we no longer feel happy but we can not leave the person by the memories, in the end both separate and continue with their life. "
Motel - Far We're Better
TheKillers-WhenYouWereYoung
Rock itout voiceand sound
It's hard but good, the killerhas one of the best songs of all time, from my small point of view😊, I think if there was a perfect sound and voice song"HerewithMe", andmotel isnot far behind , for nothing has a perfect song for me that would be his unmissable stamp, incomparable since I heard that song I declared myself a fan of them.Rodrigo's voice sounds so clean and strong, one of his best performances.Forget me.
Motel -Forget me
TheKillers- HereWithMe
Art and creativity in music videos
I can choose several videos of the killer as an art but the best music video of them is"Human"a very danceable alternative rock song, it has a positive message but what stands out most is the landscape and the shots of the bands playing and doing something very funny, compared to motel and his video "always you"although both videos were recorded in a desert area, the members are shown in modern and natural poses that is what gives the artistic plus to the video.
Motel - Always You
TheKillers- Human
I consider that the killer is one of the best bands created in the 2000's, the voice ofBrandonFlowersis unique and gives the exact tone in each song he plays, over the past few years the US band has been his songs always sounds the same and has not managed to evolve in musical matters, it is a pity because his project musical is pure art, in Mexico withmotelI can say that it is difficult not to compare them withthe killer, since they have a more internationally known trajectory.The music industry in Mexico is not very strict and there are always inspiring bands, but I think themotelmanaged to evolve and compose a style with each song they moved away from therockand went on to make a melodic pop, on the other hand, in the last production fromthe killer Ithrow"runforthecover"with such arocksoundthat I liked it.Finally, to finish this post, I have decreed that themotelwas one of those bands born and inspired bythe killer, but that at some point it stagnated like the American band, but over the years they have made their own style. you crave his new album.No more for the moment, I say goodbye.Oxoxrock it out frommexico😉
Hello people of the world I hope you are happy and that everything in life goes great in the last days I have passed a kind of transformation, but in the end I hope your life goes great.Well the music is very recycled and in the genre of rock groups always have influence, leaving a musical legacy that will last for several years.InMexicothere are several rock bands wanting to imitate the style of otherAmericanbands, but specifically wants to rename one of the few bands of Mexican alternative rock called"Jumbo",one of the few Mexican bands that has not had the recognition in the musical scene in Spanish.Many people in Latin America call them the Latin version ofweezer, and in generalall their songs havethat touch ofhappy rockthat makes you feel happy and energetic as it happens with the greatweezersongs.
Jumbo vs Weezer
Analyzing a bit Wikipedia, ok no, in general I will only give a brief review of the members and what are the similarities between both bands.
weezer band :D
Weezer is an American bandofalternative rockandpowerpopformed in Los Angeles in 1992. The group is formed, currently, byRiversCuomo(lead vocalist and lead guitar),Brian Bell(rhythm guitar, keyboards and choirs),ScottShriner(electric bass and chorus) andPatrick Wilson(drums and choirs)
jumbo Mexican Band
Jumbo is the name of a rock music group originally fromMonterrey,Mexico, which is part of the musical movement called advanced regia.It arises from a band calledBlueswagen(1994), where Castillo (vocalist) and Charly (bassist) along with Edy, Rana and Chuy Guerra began playing on weekends in the city of Monterrey, within the circuit of bars of Rock & Roll.Blueswagen
Here vsWeezer -SayItemIs notSo
It is undeniable thatthese two songs representa legacy in music, on the onehand,we haveweezerthat with unique style a quite relaxed soundorand with a song with a rather special meaning is one of the most emblematic songs ofweezergiven the final message to any carefree parent.On the other hand, we havejumbowith one of the first songs that I released in 1999, the song is entitled Aquí and recounts a love defeat and how he repents and tries to recovereverything, but at the end of the song the break is undeniable.
Weezer -SayItemIs notSo
Jumbo - Here (Video)
Joyful songs and Rock & Roll
The bands of alternative rock by law must have one or several songs that fill us with energy in the case of Weezer and Jumbo has had the magnificent combination, withIsland InTheSuntheweezerbandachieved a special way to brightenthose days, the song talks about love and to feel happy for being in love, it's a good thing for nowadays those feelings are forgotten and the music that reigns in most speaks of feeling depressed, In other songs or rather in other regions of America, around 2000, the single appeared in MexicoRockstara brilliant composition ofjumboin which the bad life of the fake rockers who only use the fame and the money is related, in general the song is a claim for those bands that sells to the power of the monopolies in the disqueras and these they remain without offering good songs, resorting to the artificial pop style.
Weezer - Island InTheSun
Jumbo -Rockstar(Video)
Original videos withgreatsongs.
Weezer -BuddyHolly
Jumbo - Photography (Video)
These songs deserve a special recognition, although they do not represent the best in their compassions we can notice that it has a very special and nostalgic lyrics, the case ofBuddyHollybyWeezerthe concept of recording a video based on the 70s, it was quite beautiful special effects within the video capture me, in the case ofJumbo,photographyis one of those Mexican songs that only very few with good musical taste know them, the lyrics is beautiful, if you do not speak Spanish just listen to the rhythm of the voice and watch the music video I'm sure you can understand all the musical meaning.In general, he talks about the love you have for family, friends and a couple, but everything ends at some point and ends in a photograph.How sad because it is true that our life can only be remembered through photographs.
Songs of heartbreak with a touch Rocker.
What is a rock band without songs for a broken heart, rock bands always have to write about their past relationships as it is a good source of inspiration to create amazing songs, the songPerfectSituationbyWeezer, is atalkingsongof a perfect love that reaches its final part, but at the end you find peace and that is all that matters.
Jumboalso has a pretty similar song calledEvery Time I Go.This song talks about having a loving relationship with the best attitude at the end, the fault is two people and the lyrics of the song is a very original farewell.
Weezer -PerfectSituation
Jumbo - Every time I go
I feel that vsTheGoodLife
To finish this count of good songs and fantastic lyrics, I have decided to compare the quality of these bands to make music videos, as well as the perfect combination of lyrics and sounds, I recognize that not their best songs, but they are a select hymn for me, and definitely can not miss in any playlist if they love good music.
Weezer -TheGoodLife
Jumbo - I Feel That ... (Cafeteria Version (Video))
Thegoodliferepresents the joy and maturity that we all face sooner or later, when you realize that you have a life ahead and you can not lose a minute more you have to do something before your youth leaves.While Ifeel thatthe Mexican group tries to capture the same message of overcoming obstacles and problems in a positive way it is a final evocation of forgiveness and having a new redemption about the past and the things that sometimes caused you sadness.
Musically both videos show all the members of the bands, inside a cafeteria or inside a shopping center, both play and singtranspiring happiness and showing how to be goodrockers, in short both videos are good although I stay more with jumbo that has proven to be a band that has managed to create few songs that reach the heart compared to weezer I can say that I admire them a lot and their music is really good, they have left a legacy difficult to erase with songs that will go🚨🚧 down in history and will be recognized by many fans, both bands behave musical styles this makes me think that jumbo was inspired by weezer because 1994 was the birth of these, which in Mexico jumbo was created in 1999 almost 4 years later, in the lyrics are so different because although they may sound of a family way both or jumbo I manage to create songs with their own essence, in the end weezer is like that vintage thing that is classic and will never go out of style and jumbo will be the same but in Mexico😊I hope that my comparison has clarified your doubts read them soon and I hope you give me your 1+ in Google.Greetings from Mexico bye.
