Hold Your Colour - Pendulum

       I had this thought today that I had in my head the entire day. Imagine if music was taken away, illegal to even hum a song. Imagine if you were restricted to the monotone hum of traffic, conversation and natural sounds. No more rhythm. No more music. No more freedom.

       It would be a world without creativity, without "flow". No one would be expressing themselves through sound. I wouldn't survive in a world like that. It would shatter peoples' lives, completely break down personalities. It's hard to even imagine. I've never been much of a musician, but I've never gone a day without listening to music. It's more than a hobby, it's an addiction and a good one. I express myself through music, see myself in the rhythm, focus and think to the flow of a song. I always like to think of it reflecting my life. I thought about living in a world like that, not having a song in my head 24/7. I can't. I just come up with a blank. I try to share music with everybody, even though I'm not the musician. I think that if it comes to this bleak thought, this terrible, nightmarish idea of a world, everyone needs some sort of rhythm. 

       This song is the perfect one for holding out, rebelling against unjust restrictions. It encourages life, adds rhythm to it. It creates some sort of flow for the day. I hope that everyone has some sort of rhythm at all times, even if it isn't this song.
