Rocket queen

Few weeks before I heard about a tragedy from one of my friend, I did not feel well, and I could only think of one thing that could be able to help me out, from this sorrow, listening to the Guns N’ Roses, Rocket Queen.

The song grows with me, as well as I grow up. It proves, I try not to give reasons, I could give hundreds reason of why they are good, and it is not so necessary. The thing is history could not deny itself, and you could not deny history, it is my personal listening experience; and feeling could never be deceptive. But, I tried to ask why, and the song embodied the feeling, without answer. There are thousands songs out there, but I could only think of this one, at that moment. Music shapes memories, and when we talk about memories, we need time; when we talk about time, we need music. The more I learn about popular music in an analytical way, somehow it creates distance between you and the music. I think this is the challenges, the things you love, the one you love, always challenge. It challenges you the way in which you do not question anymore, you just go straight to provide answers. Finally, the answers are there, you did not raise a single question. Sometimes we have to be “back to the basic”, to trust for the feeling before giving any answers. The love of a piece of music could never be deceptive, to love something, to love someone is to question, is to struggle; unless you question, unless you struggle, nothing lasts forever. Unless you love, time is slipping faster than ever you could imagine. We seek “truth” by questioning, we struggle for ideal, we capture time by music, too.

I see you standing
Standing on your own
It's such a lonely place for you
For you to be
If you need a shoulder
Or if you need a friend
I'll be here standing
Until the bitter end
No one needs the sorrow
No one needs the pain
I hate to see you
Walking out there
Out in the rain
So don't chastise me
Or think I, I mean you harm
Of those that take you
Leave you strung out
Much too far
Baby-yeah

Don't ever leave me
Say you'll always be there
All I ever wanted
Was for you
To know that I care

RIP
