Anyone here system of a down fans?
I think some of their songs are very relateable.
Absolutely. And I'm sure Daron Malakian is an Aspie.
Wow! I'm a huge SOAD fan, and you are right... I'll bet Daron is an Aspie. Cool.
Behind Blue Eyes - The Who
I detest almost all country music, but will have to admit that Willie Nelson came up with a great song in "Mamas, Don't let your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys"
Some grat lines such as:
"They'll never stay home and they're always alone, even with someone they love"
"Those who don't know him don't like him
And those that do sometimes don't know how to take him
He ain't wrong;he's just different
And his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right."
I'd have to say "Creep" by Radiohead.
I've never been to a live concert before, and I usually don't watch or listen to recordings of lives because the sound is usually recorded with bad quality, and I'd much rather find a video on Youtube that has the pure version. I use Youtube to listen to music.
Yeah, it does sound like fun. I'll try to go to one when I get an opportunity.
Neutral Milk Hotel - April 8th
Crawl across towards your window
I'm calling softly from the street
Always a lonely widow
Half awake and sleeping on my feet
I'm of age but have no children
No quarter phone booth calls to home
Just late with television
Inside my bedroom all alone
There is no use in waiting
Offer up your steps so I can climb
Show me all your figure paintings
Etched in the middle of the night
Let me stretch upon your carpet
Let me hear the rain tap on your street
Knowing I am safe on the inside
Blankets wrapped and drifting off to sleep
Micropixie - Cognitive Dissonance
Why aren’t you with someone? how can you spend so much time on your own? what do you do? don’t you get bored with your own company? you’re the weirdest girl I’ve ever met... what planet do you come from?
Ha, I've had that on my myspace profile months before I knew what asperger's was.
That's all I can think of right now.
Some songs that could relate to Autism and what it's like being this way...
All About Us- TaTu. One part is "They don't know, they can't see, who we are, fear is the enemy" and the song is kinda about standing up for who you are, and taking your life into your own hands.
See Who I Am- Within Temptation "See who I am, break through the silence. Reach for my hand, and show them that we can free our minds, and find a way. The world is in our hands"
Imaginary- Evanescence. ...this is almost my own personal theme when it comes to certain things.
"I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge. A nightmare I've built my own world to escape."
There are some days I just wanna say "screw you, my reality is better" and never wake up.
I got another one... The Cure - The Perfect Girl
"
You're such a strange girl, I think you come from another world; you're such a strange girl, I really don't understand a word".
Another tune equally relevant to the aspergerian search for romance: "send me an angel" by Real Life
Sorry, I have not read the whole thread, but my husband made me laugh the other day when he suggested Diana Ross' "Love Hangover" (or something like that) because there's a line in there that says
"If there's a cure for this, I don't want it."
