Some inspiration
Mar. 18th, 2006 09:07 pmThe Plain White T's 'Sing my heart' is such a good song. The melody and the beat combine so perfectly with the lyrics to really make me feel it - listening to it, I found myself wishing I could be in a band, in a new city every week, everything just to play a show that night.
It makes me think of what Frankie said about how My Chemical Romance saved them all in different ways, and one of those ways was saving them from a boring, normal life stuck in New Jersey.
So I think it's time for some inspirational stories
Inspirational Story the first:
Just a few years ago, Gerard Way was on his way to a meeting to get a job as an animator, when he realised that he wanted to really do something with his life, that he hated the direction he was going now, and the place he was in. So he called up a few friends that he knew were feeling the same, and they started a band. And just three months later, My Chemical Romance released their first album. And now, they're starting to hit it big.
Inspirational Story the second:
Saki Kagami was just an ordinary high school girl, when she decided that her life was boring, that everyday was exactly the same: wake up, go to school, go home, go to sleep, rinse, and repeat, every single day. So, on a whim, she decided to enter an audition for a movie, although she had never acted in her life. Well, she was picked, out of hundreds of girls, for the lead role in 'Platonic Sex', which was one of the bigest movies of the year, and now she's an actress, and a model.
In other words, here are two people who were bored, and not happy with their lives, and they actually did something about it, and they managed to change their lives.
Granted, there are hundreds of people who start bands who never get picked up by a label, and hundreds of girls who audition for a movie and don't make it. But still. It's something to think about. You never know until you actually do something.
