This is an influence of my college days when I transitioned from a jack-of-all-trades teenage boy to a rebellious grown-up man. I can say I was summoned to this realm of sound madness during the time I was out there looking in the void for a shoulder to lean on. I saw myself in the anguish of the little boy in Pearl Jam's "Jeremy" and fell in love with Liv Tyler and Alicia Silverstone in Aerosmith's video of "Crazy." I shared with the false hopes of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts" and became one dependable person in Edwin McCain's "I'll Be." All this and more... and I was enslaved into this time when grunge ruled the world. These songs are gone, Kurt Cobain's dead, bands are disbanded but I'm still here... wallowing in the memories of this existence.
Since my Multiply's back, I thought of uploading some MP3s again. But now, a little bit cautious. I will no longer upload the full albums of all that I have. I came to realize that I want to list down here the tracks that I loved most. Some people may agree with me that these are the best songs so far, some may not. Who cares?!? Some people may also say that my compilation will reveal how old I am now. Who cares?!?
I'm only a man in a funny red sheet and it's not easy to be me.
Follow me here just like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland...
