Will you love me when I'm gone?
listening to this song makes me want to have somebody to dedicate it to, or somebody who'd dedicate it to me. I've loved this band since I'm like 12, and of all their love songs this is probably my fav. What I love about a Foo-love-song is that it is a Foo-love-song and therefore is unique and beautiful, and sometimes even funny. Or the videos at least are, like the Everlong video. My second fav Foo-love-song would be Walking After You. Its video is also really touching. Wow, Foo appreciation day! Oh well, it's ok. I remember watching the Everlong video a few years ago with my cousin (to whom I owe many music) and laughing our asses off. So yeah, I do love this band :)
this is an Incubus love song, and probably one of my fav they've written so far. I've listened this band for about 6 or 7 years already and I know I'll always love them. Last year they came in october and it was the best concert I've ever been to. They're even better live than in the albums. This was the third-to-last song they played (I think) and it was an unexpected joy. I remember how amazing it felt to hear 5000+ people singing along and thinking "this is what I want...". Being one more in the crowd feels incredible, but probably being the one who wrote the song and having all this people singing it to you must feel even better. Or at least I'd love to do something that has to do with music, because I love it so much. And I also love photography (but I really need a better camera -.-) and those two things mixed would be amazing! I feel horrible lying to myself and to other people when they ask what am I gonna do with my future. But I don't think that a 9-5 routine thing is for me. If I do make up my mind (in the next 7 or 8 months) and decide to go to college, I'd be lying to myself even in that moment, probably thinking that is the best for me. I like psychology, but not as much as I love photography and music, and to make my dream come true (sounds too disney-ish...) I have to leave this country. I only have to find the best words to say this to my family. And the right time too...
Ok! last one. I promise. I just love the chorus of this song:
You make me happy
You magnify my better half
You make me certain
Though all I have today is your photograph

The 9-5 thing is definitely not for everyone. Would your family not support you wanting to be an artist? I can't imagine a more exciting lifestyle; of course it'll have its challenges, but so does a "normal" 9-5 workday. Rush hour traffic, for instance. I think I'd shoot myself if I had to sit in that twice a day, five days a week.
Ultimately your future is up to you, and you should never settle for something you don't want to do unless you're prepared to hate rolling out of bed every morning.
College is a good thing, though. If nothing else, you'll come up against new opportunities and connections. You'll have experiences that can fuel your music.
Wherever you end up, just try to stay positive and take something good away from it!
Wow. Chicago will be quite a change if you're used to the heat. It's known as the Windy City for a reason and gets a whole lot of snow..... But it's a good place. I'd like to visit there again. Just not in wintertime!
I think being an artist means risking poverty wherever you are in the world. Maybe less in some places than others, but the possibility is always there. I've been thinking about my future lately and how I'd rather spend it doing what I want to do (i.e. writing books), even if it means living out of a 15-passenger van because I can't afford an apartment... XD
Hopefully your family will come to see the value of what you do, wherever you end up doing it; you're adding a portion of beauty to the world and that's definitely worth something. It's worth a lot.
