Normally I don’t really discus music on this blog, but I was very impressed with this concert. Might be some of the songs are not your cup of tea, but if you look at the description you can skip to songs you surely will.

All that I desire to point out is the general principle that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
Oscar Wilde

And clearly, the more life turns to extremes, art seems to follow. Take music for example; we are currently applauding gangsters for displaying their criminality in their songs. Directly connected to life getting tougher while we are all growing more individual by the week? Wouldn’t know, do you?

Sometimes you see your mood reflected in a song. The more you try new music, the more often it happens. Jack’s Mannequin’s song “I’m Ready” has a text that makes you think, at least for a little while. Tagline of the song is most probably:

“My life has become a boring pop song, and everyone is singing along”

Why do I like this? Because it is an excellent line to express my noire view on everyday life. This song forces me to realize what I am doing with life and if it is everything I would want it to be.
