Ok, I've been reading the posts on and off for the past week or so...and maybe I don't have the whole picture...but as far as the "Sunny Day Are Gods" thing...I dunno...I mean, I've always thought the entire band had a haunting weird quality to them...and their music somehow managed to give me hope and make me happy (as depressing as some of their songs are) even when times were at their worst. For some strange, unknown reason, the music they play (i.e. the notes, chords, lyrics, vocals, drums...everything) is just RIGHT. It doesn't matter WHY it's right...but music is a very powerful thing. it's done strange things in the past...it will continue to do strange things. But Sunny Day is just one of those bands that finally got it all right. I'll admit that I DID breakdown and cry the first time I saw them. Not because they made me sad, not because i could relate one of their songs to a past experience...but because their music is so powerful that it just made all my senses come forth at once. It was (I dare say) somewhat of a RELIGIOUS experience. everyone has their version of what gives them hope, feeling, and a sense of love...and sunny day just happens to be mine (and others, I'm sure). So you can dissect it all you want, but you'll still never really have the answer....and do you really want to?? Remember, the magician never reveals his/her tricks. And as far as the whole thinking hierarchy thing, I don't even know what to say. Jeremy and Dan have their version of poetry and song...Britney Spears has hers. Granted, some may think that because Sunny Day uses a more obscure form to put their songs in, that they are somewhat "smarter??" than others...but the truth of the matter is that everyone has their own style...just because one person decides to use their art one way and someone else another way, that doesn't mean they're thinking on a lower level....and i guess Sunny Day doesn't really probe my brain for new ideas and make me want to invent things, but they do give me a sense of fantasy...almost like a movie. I can hear their music and read their words and sympathize or empathize...but it's all in good fun. Whatever makes you happy....just go with it. Don't try to analyze...it wastes too much time. :) Ok, enough babbling from me. Everyone take care and keep those rumors comin' (hee hee). xoxo ChrisfromFlorida
