    First things first, cheer goes to all of you! It%u2019s nice to see a group of individuals living out a dream! Well, maybe not for all of you but for others it%u2019s already a wish come true. Ehem%u2026 well%u2026 to introduce myself, I%u2019m Michelle Kathryn Monfort Ascalon from the city of smiles, Bacolod. Nye! I%u2019m just about the same as your age and also have this artistic side just like you but not as good or as actualized as you guys. Hehehe! I haven%u2019t been writing for so long, but here I am trying to put up my own words. I would like to say that I am affirming you that it is already an achievement even just to be able to finish a song. So, don%u2019t forget that. Don%u2019t forget that for each that you have finished there%u2019s always this hard work instilled in it. Therefore, congratulations. I would like to open up by quoting one of the most famous sayings%u2026. %u201C%u2026 beauty is in the eye of the beholder%u2026%u201D One would only learn how to appreciate something if and when he or she opens up his/her mind and soul to it. I am not a big fan of rock music, but so I did open up my thoughts into this. Because there%u2019s this one person who belongs to this band who has touched my life in such, if I would have to say, an amazing way%u2026 simply through an AMAZING and MYSTERIOUS way%u2026 that goes to Ark%u2026 I promised him this. Well, enough of that. I just have to play by the rules. I%u2019m supposedly here to comment on your song only. (lol) But anyway, here it goes%u2026 First thing that came up when I read the title, I asked myself, %u201Cwhy Guilt Suicide?%u201D To be honest, it is very unlikely of me to even learn how to appreciate this genre of music because I %u2018m kind of like the opposite type. However, as I opened-up myself through the song I realized something. I realized that there%u2019s something within the lyrics. Although, I may not be the typical big fan of rock, I have learned to listen to it (while, well still looking at the lyrics, since I still find it hard to understand just by simply listening). Dude for me, that%u2019s already something! And with that, unknowingly and gradually, I found your piece its sense. It%u2019s as if I felt the person writing it. It%u2019s not like any other song nowadays that are usually just so meaningless to read and will only leave you with an empty heart after experiencing it. What I mean with experiencing to be exact is to be able to really listen to it and MUSE over?! Am I right? Hah! You even used that word in the song, which means to ponder, reflect or think over. Well, yeah, I did MUSE over %u201CGuilt Suicide%u201D%u2026 since you asked for it and yeah, about the title I should say the name itself already is pretty interesting. You bet I had to look into the lyrics first while hearing it out. Gosh! But good for the band cause at the end my used-to-be-perspective with rock changed a little. Ooooooooo! What happened? Are the tables turning around? Haha! Maybe! Or maybe not! A little change should not threat me, I said to myself. Like what someone out there would say, change is the only constant thing in the world. I would like to give my congratulations to whoever the writer is of this song for having been able to extend more my ability to appreciate music. You%u2019re the man! Like I said, I%u2019m a total negative when it comes to rock. It%u2019s just my lowest rank when it comes to my list of favorites or in fact it doesn%u2019t even belong to my list. But boy, you rocked and rolled my senses when I learned about this song! Haha! But to give it some real good honesty, I focused more on the lyrics. Haha! To compensate for that, I%u2019m not really the extremist when it comes to rock, that%u2019s why I just had to do it. For my sake, forgive me if I delved more on the content of the song. As a whole, I sort of felt that the song has to be for someone who%u2019s facing such a time in their life where in they realized there%u2019s something wrong and lacking. A feeling of loneliness if I would be correct can be one of those. Perhaps, a state of regret and frustration is mixed with it too. It doesn%u2019t state clearly though the exact memories and experiences that that person had but one can sense that something or some things happened in the past and wished it was something different. Maybe there were things that that person didn%u2019t do or did before, which made him realize that he could have done better. He could have changed things but there%u2019s no time anymore. There%u2019s this area in his life where in even though no matter how he tries to look for some meaning, existence or truth in the outside, he ends up empty-handed. The reason for that is because even the crowd itself already is for him now a crowd of nothingness. Tsktsktsk. So, I see that even the things now in his life that he hopes for and as he is hungry for does not give him sense at all. Either these things are not that important to him anymore or they%u2019re just so used up that they%u2019re existence fails to subjectively perform its significance. And the sad thing about it is that as the person tries hard to search for that balance all the more that his leading himself into what you call%u2026 the Guilt Suicide. To tap it all up, I could picture out one guy who had this big decision in life he%u2019ll never forget. Deep inside there will always be this some little feeling of guilt and regret that he%u2019ll hold on to forever. Don%u2019t be shocked but let%u2019s just say it could be like some mere guy out there who made a girl pregnant or a person who killed somebody either intentionally or not. And for this one particular choice that they have made, I believe they had reasons for it. That%u2019s why as the song goes, %u201Cit%u2019s the punch that knocked you down.. from the heart%u2026.%u201D What made them fall into that choice was the punch. Whatever was that it really affected, influenced or drove them so much that%u2019s why they were able to make such decisions. It%u2019s the punch, which made them fall into that losing side or to be literal knocked them down. That%u2019s how I see it. I%u2019m not sure of this, but well, anybody can give his own opinion. Maybe I%u2019m not really getting the lyrics right, or maybe I just found another meaning into it. But hell yeah, the song is good. It speaks of something. The song is well-though out and may there be more of that in the future. Good luck guys! Keep improving! There%u2019s more to come! And it%u2019s something better %uF04A Pls. Ark? So, I guess I have made my promise? Akala mo nakalimutan ko na no? haha! Ingat! Mwah! Dec 04
