Random Ramblin's 43 - Reflection Post Halloween 2020

Reflection time!😎

So Halloween 2020 was an unusual one. This year is so abnormal. We in Wales are in lockdown once more but the firebreak national welsh lockdown is nearing it's end, unfortunately Covid is still roaming. Its been hard for sure but there's also some great things that have and are still happening.

I've done an amazing job and I'm proud of myself for my facepaint. Which even Finn himself liked my demon Bálor paint (1st pic) and the 2nd pic was Cobra Kai halloween inspo with a skeleton they are seen in.😊

OK so I've also got my fave band Sabaton autographs so that is freaking incredible and amazing!!!!🤗😁🤯🥳 I managed to learn The Black Parade more on piano and am trying to learn more and practice more.😄 I've been back gaming and enjoying it after what felt like ages of having a period of unenjoyment with games but all good and fun again. 🙂 I also had the newest Mha movie on steel book triple play and I been waiting ages for it to arrive and I finally have it!!!☺️

Been a while since I posted here but I felt now was a good time. 

I'm healing, I'm grieving and some days are harder than others. Life is hard and has more uncertainties than ever before. Never lose hope always keep ahold of it and try to laugh and have a person who can wrap their arms around you even from far away and help you get back up on your feet when life has you down. 

I'm an advocate for hope and I won't ever lose hope, I'll keep a tight hold on it.

Peace with you all, look after your minds, be mindful of all the information you take on and don't overload yourself or over work yourself.

Take it easy people!

✌️ 😊✌️

CFMT Album Review!

After some wait and after a shitty start to the year, we are now into Autumn and as covid is spiking up again in the uk and as I am back in lockdown and unable to see loved ones outside of my household, here I am today to bring you my thought's, opinions and most importantly review of Corey Taylor's solo debut album titled CFMT. 

I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon and it was signed by the legendary Cfmt himself so that is so wicked and I received the album a day before it's initial release which is quite something extraordinary to have especially from Amazon these days. As previously written I have already gave my thoughts on CMFT MUST BE STOPPED song, which you can see and learn more of my thoughts and about Corey Taylor in that review, simply click on the bold letters to see that piece.

With 13 song's on this stacked album, let's go through them as I give you my thought's on these songs before giving my final verdict on the album as a whole, do enjoy!

1: HWY 666

This is how you kick off an album, ROCK n ROLL!!!! A country metal track as this track simply informs us to buckle up as we are heading for a hell of a ride!!!!

2: Black Eyes Blue

This is a lovely alternative rock, love song which is also very lovely and catchy and i love. So for the less hardcore you got this to fall back to. 

3: Samantha's Gone

Really catchy chorus with a song which has such a great grove to it. 

4: Meine Lux 

Such a fast paced party tune here I find and oh catchy so catchy.

5: Halfway Down

Quite a flirty song here and very chill, the groove is damn catchy. The guitars are sooo smooth, it's having a cigarette while this is all going on I presume because them licks and solos beeee smokin'.  

6: Silverfish

A soft centred slow song with a catchy chorus to boot and it's almost like blues riff's and psychedelic feel is just chill with a kickin' solo. 

7: Kansas

I absolutely love this one!!! Just gives me such emotional feels and all in a good way, it's sweet, loving and romantic, i just pine over this one haha. 

8: Culture Head

This is a Hell of a tune! It was most recently played and performed on WWE's Nxt brand for PPV Takeover 31 and from there upon my first listen i was like "woah!" and "i need to listen to this again" which i still am like to this song and i play it on repeat a few times a day since this came out! THIS PUNCHES SO HARD!

9: Everybody Dies On My Birthday

I don't quite know what to make of this song, Corey is clearly sending a message and getting his thoughts out there. It's a decent track, perhaps a grower. 

10: The Maria Fire

Oh damn this be some bluesy jazzy stuff right here and so yeah i really like this song. 

11: Home

A soft touching song here, guaranteed to make you swell up and cry. 

12: CMFT MUST BE STOPPED

CFMT must be stopped is loud, in your face and kicks so much ass!, all the while moving and flowing like a coursing river, the music video features an all star line up of cameo's too! I love this song!

13: European Tour Bus Bathroom Song

This is goofy, fast paced and insane! This will have you scratching your head and headbanging and then questioning "what the fuck did I just listen to?" hahaha. 

Corey has kicked down the door to the industry years ago and now he's ripped the damn door off for all to see and hear. Corey is not a stranger he's been in this game for three decades now fronting metal giants Slipknot and also fronting the hard rocking Stone Sour, but for a solo outing, this is how you do it! This album, well let me just start and say that it is a lot of fun and you can hear how much fun Corey had in creating this album. It's has a varied range of sound in the instrumentals and a diverse vocal range from Corey that we all know and love very well. 

Overall
8/10

So They Say (original song lyrics)

Daylight Comes and like a ghost your gone,

No where to be seen, My stranger of the night,

I wish you had stayed a little bit longer, My smile perked up since knowing that night,

Loneliness makes the heart grow fonder so they say,

So they say,

I've been a stranger to myself,

My confidence use to sit on a dusty shelf,

Now it's being cleaned up and i'm ready to wear it,

Unable to make any decisions but now i can, Now i can,

Keep moving, keep moving, things will look up,

Jacket on, zipped up, It's a cold night,

Here i am looking everywhere for you out on the town,

In the middle of the street there's a post which is familiar,

Takes me back to that time i sat with you on the bench all night drinking coffee,

I remember holding your hand on the corner, you said things will get better,

They said you can always try again, So they say, Or so they say,

High heels off, dress undone, wine and good energy flowing now,

Your lips pressed up against mine, hands touching too much, It's shockingly overwhelming,

You told me this would be a slice of heaven,

I was unprepared for the hell that came with getting a halo,

This is signs of true love so they say,

So they say,

I'm broken, i'm beat, i'm scarred,

Nothing told me this is what love is like, It wasn't supposed to be like this,

Clueless and alone with lust at my door,

I was beaten harder by mere words than any fist's,

The marks i hid well from everyone in physical form but i had nothing to hide the emotional,

Things will be better, maybe it's work stress or family problems,

So they say, Oh so they say,

I've been a stranger to myself for too long,

I lost all my cares, patience and trust by living dangerously,

I loved delusionally, I lost myself to keep another happy,

I live for me now, it's hard, I can't seem to do anything right,

Walking away helped me so much to end the nightmare so that's alright, 

You'll be fine so they say, so they say,

I was broken, i did not feel like a person,

I felt an unchangeable frown upon my face and a dark cloud over my head,

Uncomfortable in my own skin, my life is not worth living,

So i say, so i say,

I thought the worst things for myself,

my lonely heart did not have to wait long,

My fire reignited when you made me laugh,

In a split second i felt a string break upon my puppetry self,

You made me smile, you made me excited, you made me feel again,

I was made out to be a human, i was shown i was real, you did this,

I believed only i could fix myself but there you were holding the tools for me smiling,

True love is just in fairy tales, it's all made up and does not exist,

So they said, oh how they remarked,

Night time now and here i am,

Laying in my bed and my stranger of the night is not a stranger anymore,

In your arms i feel so safe, secure and happy, thank you for thinking of me,

Thank you for staying with me, thanks for thawing this icy heart,

You really are a masterpiece a true piece of art,

You're happy for now, you're being unwise, you're rushing, so they say,

So here i say,

Go away.

1 IN 8 (original song lyrics)

They said it wasn't going to be easy,

I took it to heart,

I lost a piece of me,

Growing with you,

I became 1 in 8 and indulged in self hate,

I lost my mind and grew cold inside,

Cold now soaks me,

A heavy cloud above my head,

That sinking gut feeling,

it's real heavy,

Depression and anger make life no easy feat,

I am one in, one in, one in, 8

Remember when the news hit,

We got ecstatic and were laughing so much,

Then the red sea came along and brought blood,

It was a lot on you but i held your hand throughout,

You were afraid but acted like such a brave soldier,

Whilst i was calm and strong for you,

As i made you laugh, despite being in pain,

The dr's came to us, they broke our hearts,

We raged, we screamed, we cried, without letting out any sounds,

We felt our whole world crumble around, 

A dream which came true had just disappeared,

It was snapped out of existence and leaves us in pieces,

Memory of that time was dark, clouded still,

To know what we was feeling, to think was it real,

Cold now soaks me,

A heavy cloud above my head,

That sinking gut feeling, 

it's real heavy,

Depression and anger make life no easy feat,

I am one in, one in, one in, 8

We've held a lot up inside us, (You can try again)

We've put out a lot in the front, (Don't worry it wasn't time)

We've been torn up, from the inside to the out, (You should have been protected)

Resent, Regret, Repent, Repent, 

GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME,

SHUT UP AND LEAVE ME ALONE!, 

I'M ONE IN 8!, 

Cold now soaks me,

A heavy cloud above my head,

That sinking gut feeling, 

it's real heavy,

Depression and anger make life no easy feat,

I am one in, one in, one in, 8
