Maria Brink Kicks More Butt Than You

Alright, so I found a new musical & lyrical inspiration. They're called In This Moment.
I've never even heard of them until about a week or so ago when my friend was letting me listen to his i-Pod and this came on shuffle. Instantly, I fell in love. Basically it's this heavy metal band with the lead singer being a girl, Maria Brink. And let me tell you, she's amazing! Not only does she have a beautiful voice, but she can scream her heart out. Jealous much? Oh, you bet.

I wish we were best friends.

I've always wanted to do some work in a metal band, except the whole I can't sing to save my life problem I have is sort of a set back. Anyway, this girl continues to be an inspiration because she writes most of the lyrics for the band as well. Here's an excerpt from one of my personal favorites, The Promise (from the album A Star-Crossed Wasteland):

No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin
And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now

I'm dangerous

The only promise I could make
Is that my promise is a lie
The only promise I could make you
Is that my promise is a lie

This music's definite ear candy. If you actually listen to the song or moreover watch the music video, this part of the lyrics is my favorite because it's going back and forth between Maria and the lead male singer, and they're both screaming into each other's faces. You can visually see as well as hear the emotion, which I think is such a great quality for an artist or band to have. I love music that instantly makes me feel something, and I get that from this band, which I actually don't get from a lot of heavier metal bands. Kudos to you guys on that one.

So if you haven't listened to them, do it. Yeah, that's a command. You won't regret it.
Unless if you're into the whole Katy Perry & Justin Beiber type of music only. Then maybe this isn't your cup of tea. But hey, it's always good to stir up the pot and try some new things. They have a lot of other good songs, but the one's I currently have on replay are Forever and The Gun Show. So while your at it, listen to those ones too.
