Trigger and the Gun - Woodstock Mafia lyrics

In the basement underneath me,
there’s a victim and a secret
From the fear of the dark I run
‘coz I know that the good die young
Like a soldier sent to free me,
fighting wars out on the TV
To the sound of the shots I wake
And the truth that I just can’t take

Feel the violence taking over
Getting closer to the end show
Like a bomb that I just cant see,
You’re the fire and I’ll set you free, free, free

I am a sinner and a saint
Don’t forget it
Don’t you forget it
And if you look into my face
You’ll regret it
You will regret it

I am a sinner and a saint
Don’t forget it
Don’t you forget it
And if you look into my face
You’ll regret it
You will regret it

I am the trigger and the gun

I adore you for your weakness
You’re the trouble
I’m the witness
Getting drunk on the freedom sounds
Of the light and the lines
At the back of the minds

All I wanted was the freedom that you promised
When you took me
From the grip of your arms
I wake
And you wouldn’t let me go
And I always want to stay, stay, stay

I am a sinner and a saint
Don’t forget it
Don’t you forget it
And if you look into my face
You’ll regret it
You will regret it

Trigger and the gun

This is the sound of our dismay
This is the sound of our dismay

I am a sinner and a saint
Don’t forget it
Don’t you forget it
And if you look into my face
You’ll regret it
You will regret it

I am a sinner and a saint
Don’t forget it
Don’t you forget it
And if you look into my face
You’ll regret it
I am the trigger and the gun

ANGUS POWELL :D

My first encounters with many musicians are on twitter. No really. Then a young man by the name on Angus Powell followed me and I read his bio. Turns out he’s a musician (YAY!). I then youtubed him because – as you can tell – I like being exposed to new music (and being a stalker).

Anyway, Angus Powell. He is a Welsh singer. I do not really know what to classify him as; indie or alternative? Although I know he has drawn influences from Bon Iver and James Vincent McMorrow.

His music is out of the ordinary, unique really. As I type this, I am listening to “monsters”, his latest EP. The lyrics, the instruments and the way in which they fit together, transport one to another world. This is the type of music one listens to and can feel it resonate within you.

I do not know how everyone would feel when listening to his music, but these songs make me think on a deeper level, about life in general and the decisions of who and what I surround myself with.

Angus’ voice is a gentle one. To me, it feels as if he is talking to me personally. I feel like everyone would be able to enjoy his music as it really does connect with everyone. I had my sister listen to it, and we have different music tastes, and she enjoyed this music as well.

I do not know who composes his music and I do not know who writes his lyrics but they are fantastic!

I know of many artists that are arrogant because of their talent, but I have tweeted Angus a few times and he seems really nice. We even have a deal – one day he will fly me to where he is so that I can watch a concert of his and be VIP (haha I felt the need to put that in here as a reminder to him, and to myself).

I feel like everyone should buy ‘MONSTERS’ by Angus as it is now available on iTunes.

“Hugely multi-textural in their construction, but with a misleadingly simple feel, Powell’s tracks contain imagery that every listener can relate to in a personal way. His songs ‘connect’ in a rare, moving, and precious way.” - I found this on http://anguspowell.com/

It’s weird that I found that because I typed this blog post and I researched opinions afterwards and I basically said the same thing about Angus, I am just not as sophisticated in my wording haha.


Angus just confirmed that he writes, composes, plays and records his own music. I actually do not know how someone has the ability to do all that and still produces such complex music that sounds strangely simple. By that I mean, his music is easy to listen to but when one actually thinks about all the work that is involved, its absolutely mind blowing.

Angus, if you are reading, thank you for the music. Its spectacular!
Everyone else: go buy ‘monsters’, follow him @anguspowell and like his facebook page

for your listening pleasure

Hi guys. It has been over a month since I posted something worth reading and I do aplogise for that as I have been on other social media following bands like one direction and the Jonas brothers on tour hah.
This post is different to the rest of them but I have a feeling you’ll receive more of it. So to the readers (thank you!) please give me feedback @kerbelker_s.
Sorry that I am rating so much but I know it has been a while. I plan on giving more full posts like I have tried before, giving a short background of the artists and bands with song names. But I am going to keep this different.
These are a few bands I stumbled across. I legit did not know or hear about them. I just youtubed and rediscovered old random singers that I used to listen to. I like this because it is a very alternative music selection and I think it is my favourite kind.
Here is a list of music you HAVE to listen to. Do yourself a favour.
1. Basic vacation – I believe
2. Bastille – thing we lost in the fire
3. Blink182 – all the small things
4. Cage the elephant – aint no rest for the wicked
5. Cage the elephant – back against the wall
6. Chevelle – send the pain below
7. Creed – higher
8. Default – wasting my time
9. Disturbed – inside the fire
10. Fitz and the tantrums – fools gold
11. Fuel – shimmer
12. Green river ordinance – it aint love
13. Incubus – love hurts
14. Limp bizkit – re-arranged
15. Matt nathanson – earthquake weather
16. Nine inch nails – only
17. Nine inch nails – the hand that feeds
18. Creed – one
19. Puddle of mudd – psycho
20. Radiohead – creep
21. Redlight king – born to rise
22. Said the whale – I love you
23. Seether – fine again
24. Soundgarden – black hole sun
25. Staind – for you
26. Stained – so far away
27. Terraplane sun – get me golden
28. The airborne toxic event – sometime around midnight
29. Third eye blind – semi-charmed life
30. Three days grace – just like you
31. Tool – schism
32. Weezer – Beverly hills
33. Weezer – pork and beans
34. Enation – feel this

That is all for now. I discovered all of this in the space of 2 days. Some you might like, others not. But give it a listen.
Thanks

WOODSTOCK MAFIA

This post would be different compared to my others. I am taking notes as it’s happening. So live blogging? Haha. So after countless twitter mentions, I am finally able to see Woodstock mafia. They are said to be performing in a little market in Hout Bay. I am currently on my way to see them, its 7p, 21 June 2013. I am SO excited! Holy Moly… I walked into the market, that doesn’t look like much from the outside, but when I stepped in, it was like frikken Narnia. The market extended and at the back corner, there is a stage. WM just came on stage and it seems to be a chilled set. A crowd gathered around the stage and I am in front, as usual. I just realize I am such a groupie haha. Everyone seems to be so chilled, some people are having supper and jamming. The electric guitarist (I later heard his name is NICK) is brilliant! The solos are so sick – especially in electric light. The drummer had this astonished look on his face when he saw me singing along to electric light haha because I kind of knew all the words :P everyone on stage, and the crowd is casually just jamming and there are small girls dancing on the side. WM really has a sound that everyone can enjoy, from little girls to old people and everyone in between. It got really hot and then someone put on a fan, joe:thanks for the fans, I hope we get more after this show. [pun intended] hahahahahaha. WM then did a cover of RHCP “my friends” and all the old school people enjoyed this A LOT. Everything was awesome! Joe and Nick took a pic with me and @zanyjoe and they are really friendly even though I have the tendency to ramble on because I get too excited and nervous. If you are reading this; please pre-order their CD at www.woodstockmafia.com you shall not regret this!

YES I SAW BIEBER

So on 8 May 2013 – it was the best day of my life to date! Justin Bieber finally noticed South Africa after all the nagging on Twitter and various other social media. Justin was scheduled to perform at Cape Town stadium on the 8 May. All the local Beliebers created such a vibe and some of them even slept outside the stadium in order to get front row golden circle. In December 2012 the tickets went on sale and within 4 minutes they were all sold out.
So on the day – I walked from the CBD with my sister and brother and behind the stadium (where he was performing) a car drove by and the window was rolled down and OMG GUESS WHO SAT IN THE BACK SEAT?! YES IT WAS JUSTIN!
The atmosphere was such a vibe though. We entered the stadium with bated breath and you could feel the “gees” of the crowd. I saw so many familiar faces – which I thought was strange and not so strange in its own right. I thought – what are the chances of seeing people I know amongst 40 000+ people – but on the flip side – most of my friends are beliebers.

Before Justin came on stage there was a 10 minute countdown. The crowd went absolutely mental! The excitement as the crowd counted down every minute. Justin then came on and the crowd roared and totally erupted! Justin performed all the songs that were said to be on his set list with the exception of 2. It was an exciting performance with crowd interactions. The videography and the stage set up worked in tandem with each other. For example, at the end of his first song, he jumped on the stage and below the stage there was a screen. So he jumped on the stage and the screen below him showed that he jumped into a pool and swam with all his dancers as well. It was a different, yet fantastic, visual.

The concert was thoroughly enjoyed with masses of people smiling, dancing and singing as they left the stadium. Thank you Justin. Please come back to CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA.
