Music that hits too close to home. Errant was discussing how listening to Morrissey for more than a few moments was difficult. I don't paraphrase well, so here's the quote:
"I think part of the problem is that I can identify with his personality and what he sings about too well and I don't really want to. if you know what I mean?" And that struck a chord with me, that there can be music out there that not is not only easy to empathise with, but regrettably so. Robert Smith is like that for me. I adore the Cure, but too much of it at once makes me feel like I'm naked in a crowded arena (on a cold day), or rather, like an open wound. Can you relate? [Edited 8/27/09 10:42am] | |

I know exactly what you mean.
Even though most people seem to love "I Love U but I Don't Trust U Anymore" - I "can't" listen to it. ...Another one - which seems kinda silly now but whatever - is ...I Miss You by Klymaxx. It was a high school heartbreak song. | |

Before I came out, I could NOT listen to "Reflection" by Christina Aguilera. I swear to God I thought she was talking to me:
Look at me You may think you see Who I really am But you�ll never know me Every day, is as if I play apart Now I see If I wear a mask I can fool the world But I can not fool My heart Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? I am now In a world where I have to Hide my heart And what I believe in But somehow I will show the world What�s inside my heart And be loved for who I am Who is that girl I see Staring straight back at me? Why is my reflection Someone I don�t know? Must I pretend that i�m Someone else for all time? When will my reflection show Who I am inside? There�s a heart that must Be free to fly That burns with a need To know the reason why Why must we all conceal What we think How we feel Must there be a secret me I�m forced to hide? I won�t pretend that i�m Someone else For all time When will my reflections show Who I am inside? When will my reflections show Who I am inside? | |

My example of this is Janet Jackson's Velvet Rope Album. Just too close to home for me. And I swear the song 'You' off of that album was ripped from my heart. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |
