Most people don’t realise to the full extent what they believe in, so why should I be swayed by them concerning my beliefs or likings? Take punks for example, are these modern-age punks not a joke? They are unaware of why the first punks started acting the way they did, they’re a cheap carbon-copy of an oppressed generation that needed to break free from the shackles of an oppressive moral belief-system. What are the current criteria for being a punk? A leather jacker, some safety-pins and an interesting haircut. Have that and you’ll be embraced as one of them.

This goes against the original need for the punk lifestyle: Rebel against the system and rules, against the conformism. By all dressing the same and listening to the same music, that they think is for punks, they fuck over the essence: do what YOU want to do.

MyWay™ does not have the ego to claim there is a way to do it. Only you can decide what your beliefs are. My MyWay™ could be a crossover of liking ‘punk’ music while going to church each week and wearing nothing but plaid (God forbid). Your MyWay™, on the other hand, could be sleeping in till noon every day and saying Fuck You to religion while listening to Bach.

Your MyWay™ does not need to be acknowledged by others, it doesn’t need a name and the masses don’t have to adopt it in order for you to be satisfied, it’s your way of life, not their way of life. As long as you are honest about your feelings and longings your MyWay™ will always be true and it will be able to guide you when your resolve to not transform into a slave of the modern world is wavering.

I first heard them when I was about 11, Music was still unknown to me. I listened to some music on the radio when someone else was happening to listen, but it felt as though there was something wrong with it. The essence was missing. It was not the kind of Music I could relate to, or enjoy for that matter.

Then all of a sudden my brother – who is 20 years older – gave me the debut album of the Chemicals, Exit Planet Dust. I put it in the cd-player and listened to it, stunned by the complex beats and addicting rhythm, my frontal cortex lit up and the demarcation point in my Musical preferences was a fact.

“Music is so naturally united with us that we cannot be free from it even if we so desired”
(Boethius cited by Storr)

I had a revelation, an idea of the waveforms I enjoy most of all. I then realised what real Music was. It got me interested in some of the other stuff my brother had gathered over the extra 20 years he has on me. Ranging from AC/DC to ZZ-Top and everything in between.

While I deeply love all of them, no other artist has ever had the impact on the way I think about the vibrations in the air we call Music. It started with Leave Home and it’s still going strong, up to Brotherhood.

The Chemical Brothers has always been the music of my choice when I’m happy or content. As a side-effect, every time I’m in need of some emotional comforting and soothing, I can play the Chemicals and reminisce about better times. The warm glow of the beats and the rhythm taking control as though all my worries fade away.

The Chemical Brothers have always been here for me when I needed them most, be it in good times or bad. They don’t judge and they don’t criticize, they do what they do best: Making Music for everyone to hear, and for the really lucky few to live by.

I wanted you as soon as you walked into my life
Nothing can stop me from reaching my goal
Greedy I might be for wanting it all
Elas, failure is not an option, for I love you

Keen senses I have not knowing what to feel
Endless worries about something that is not yet real
Not knowing what to say
In the end I’ll have to tell you anyway
Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Each and every Valentine’s Day teens can devolve from – somewhat – intelligent beings to fools that can’t tell a cute girl or guy apart from a big female dog – also known as a bitch – or a water cooler. The amount of promises and commitments made on that day are astronomical whereas most of them will only last for a few days, with the occasional exception that manages to go a week without horribly failing.

Only for this day people under the age of 25 even seem to care about buying their better/worse half something other than a condom, long life romance! If you were in any serious relationship you wouldn’t need Valentine’s Day to show your love, you would know deep in your heart you have to show that kind of special attention to your loved one each and every day of the year.

Treating your current life-partner well on Valentine’s Day is a “Get our of jail free”-card in many relationships, that will pardon the neglect after you’ve had an overdose of him or her after you had to spend both Christmas and New Year with your in-laws! One romantic dinner or a big enough diamond or video game and they’ll be eating out of your hand until you play a prank on them on April’s Fools day.

Aside from the obvious – and usually short-lived – teenage romances that sprout on Valentine’s Day we also have to keep in mind the broken hearts that seem to pop up everywhere. A girl having her first crush on a boy, she bought him a little present and wanted to confess her feelings to him, but instead of a passionate peck on the cheek all she gets is a jerk that starts laughing the moment she starts talking (of course this also happens the other way around, where the boy is ridiculed by his secret love).

If you plan to get a relationship that works I would stop worrying about Valentine’s day because one romantic day in the year is just not enough to keep two people together. Try to make every day into it’s own little version of the Hasbro-holiday. A few flowers, a little gift, a nice dinner, being together. Those are the things that really count, so keep it in mind the next 364 days!

Hesitation locks them away

Impossible feeling
Impossible feelings locked away

Locked away in your soul

Looking for love
Looking for love outside of your reach

Impossible love

Caught in the void
Nothing near
Always your mind that is clear

Until he came
he came and he was there
A friend went through your mind
A friend broke through your loneliness
You never felt this affection before
You never felt the care

Trapped in the void
He is near
A mind that for the first time is not clear

He came
He came and was there
The happiness inside
Trying to break outside

Fighting against the void
His care is near
A mind that is doubtful and not clear

Your friend is there
Behind the barrier in your head
Accepting the friendship
Discarding the loneliness
Dissolving the barrier

Escaped from the void
Nobody is near
Two minds are in harmony

Always leaking out when I see a girl
Untill it bursts open when I touch her

She awakes my passion
It flows all around me

Still I can’t say that I want to stay
I love her so much
I don’t know what to say

Passion and speach don’t work in the same way
