After listening to a lot of electronic music recently, 
The electronic music does keep me down. Focused. Productive. But bands like FATA or Killswitch Engage? Different. Very different. It is something I listen to while I walk through nature, I don't deny it. But it transports me into other dimensions. Connects to a different side of feelings about the status quo.
Life isn't soft to me right now. It's not harmonic. It's full of dissonance, raw edges, trying to evoke anger, succeeding more times than it should, but less than last time. I listen. I learn. I resist.
This kind of music accompanies me. It's not easy to the ear, nor beautiful in a superficial sense, but full of truth. People that felt that way, that moment, and turned into a song, somehow, full of poetry and anger, harmonic dissonance. Somehow they managed to do that.
And I'm incredibly grateful for that. It's not easy to express that feeling. The sadness, frustration, anger, all mingled. Those bands got it done. A kind of art, to be able to express yourself in an unexpected way, anormal, and have other people connect to it.
Somehow.
