this is something.

desperate to find songs that i used to have on my old computer, i decided to start writing the titles of songs that i could still remember.

i was scribbling away until i reached this song titled "image of the invisible" by a band called thrice. i remember it to be one of those loud songs that could drown out the noise around me and all, so i decided to go check it out again. prior to today, i've never heard any of their other songs so i though to myself; maybe today's a good day to do just that.

so along with image of the invisible, i found four more.
"broken lungs", "music box", "a song for milly michaelson" and "come all ye weary".

good stuff mann. amongst the 5 of them, "a song for milly michaelson" is my favourite for now.
even more so after i found out the possible background info for the song. apparently, fans speculate that it's related to a 1986 movie called "the boy who could fly". the movie is a sad one. check wiki if you don't believe me. but it does have a bittersweet ending. just know that the boy lost both his parents in a plane crash and doesn't appear to be "normal" and all at the beginning, apparently suffering from autism. he does not talk to anyone and only reacts to this one girl named milly, one of his neighbours. then one day milly is reaching for a rose when she falls over and hits her head against something and falls even further. she awakes to find herself with only a head injury and nothing else. during the course of the fall, she dreams that she and eric, the boy, are flying and that he was the one saved her.

the story gets complicated here, but just know that the boy really flies. but has to leave milly in order to escape the authorities that want to remove him from custody of his drunk uncle and who also want to capture him in the name of science and experimentation. anyway, wiki was my main reference for this post, so if there are any errors or whatsoever, go check wiki again or something. ain't my fault. sounds like a good movie though. and the song is calming and meaningful.
