Then I heard a really weird but catchy song. One of the craziest sounding songs I've ever heard, but also on of the most powerful because of its content ...
By far
It was a rock song I assume was mine
The lyrics were barely in English
They were crazy and strange sounding broken English
The voice sounded like it was also intentionally crazy
I'm watching the filmclip
And it's crazy-looking and sounding people who seem to be acting really intentionally eccentric, singing the strangest rock song you've ever heard
Parts of it are filmed at St John's College in Darwin
Then, when it gets you the middle of the song, it changes drastically
It turns in a beautiful and melodic rock ballad
A drop-D tuned middle section starts and the crazy voice and language the singer was using are gone
I start singing in perfect poetic English about how the world has betrayed me and made it so it's impossible to believe in love anymore
I see the botanical gardens and I'm struggling to fly against vines that are wrapped around me, holding me down
The song changes into a big soaring chorus to end it, with the words
"And if life means living without you
Then let this song be my death"
And the last chorus lyrics repeated:
"I won't let my world take you away
No, I won't let my world take you away"
At the end of the song, the singer/me who was a healthy normal looking person, is sitting in a chair staring blankly out the window at the morning sun, in some type of hospital
My hair is all missing and there are massive scars from surgery and fighting across my head, which is now misshapen
It's obvious I've suffered some type of brain damage
And with the last words of the song (soaring) over the top, it's obvious why I've suffered the injuries
In watching the character that's supposed to be me, sitting there in the golden light of the morning, obliviously happy, I realised that the first half of the song wasn't crazy ramblings like it sounded
It was supposed to represent the singer/my ability to write music after my accident, with brain damage
It was the sort of ending that sinks in like a brick and gives you goose bumps
I wish I could remember the first half of the song. The crazy part. Because this song would be huge on the power of the music video/filmclip alone
The main thing that struck me was that it was strangely beautiful
He/I wasn't dead at the end, but sitting happy and content watching a beautiful golden sunrise ...
And, that's what it took to move on with his life from her
The death of his music and the mind that created it
Though the start was still amazingly "unique" music
His beauty lived through it, even if he lost everything else
