That Frisian Girl-ish<p><span>Day 23 - A song you think everybody should listen to<br><br>Adversus: Die Nihilistenhymne (Seelenwinter II)<br><br>"Nehmt die Welt als eure Hure, schreit herbei den Mummenschanz<br>Zahlt mit Blut, doch nicht das eig'ne ...Wir sind ja nicht blöde, nein!<br>Eingeworfen gleich der Münze in den Automat der Welt<br>Rädchen, dreh dich...Schalter, drück dich. Zieht euch einen Plastikmensch"<br><br>(en: "Take the world as your whore, scream down the masquerade on us<br>Pay with blood, but not your own... we're not stupid, are we!<br>Tossed in like coin into the automaton of the world<br>Wheel, be turned... switch, be pressed. Pull out a plastic human")<br><br>Yeah, this one expresses a lot of the anger I feel. About people, about their utter lack of ethics, about being superficial where it hurts, about the world. About feeling like Cassandra, when things that I thought to be bad ideas in my teens and being told that I'm too young to understand turning into exactly the kind of shit I predicted now, and counter to what I was, I understood well enough - but they didn't.<br><br>Under it all, I'm angry. In the specific, and the general. About myself, everyone I know, all the people in the world. How can a, to our own knowledge the only, species to have capabilities of correctly predicting consequences fall victim to the same crap like a senseless animal? When we fall, it'll be for us not being human enough, not for being too human.<br><br>...yes, I want everyone to listen to a song about anger, take in that anger, and act to the best of their purest human capability.<br><br></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2yS1y3mIHY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2yS1y3mIHY</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/30DaySongChallenge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaySongChallenge</a></p>
That Frisian Girl-ish<p><span>Day 22 - A song that moves you forward<br><br>Eisbrecher: Sturmfahrt<br><br>Who would have thought, another Eisbrecher...I might be a fan.<br>This one specifically is practically the hymn of my transition. When I took on that challenge, I was already pretty sure that I'd be heading into a storm, and that pretty soon nothing would be the same anymore. So, this is the song of that. It was a storm ride.<br>But then, it was also inevitable on the horizon, like a brewing storm. So why not lean into it, and go full steam ahead?<br><br></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxYaNN6ukLY" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxYaNN6ukLY</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/30DaySongChallenge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaySongChallenge</a></p>
That Frisian Girl-ish<p><span>Day 21 - A song you like with a person's name in the title<br><br>Steam Powered Giraffe: The Ballad of Delilah Morreo<br><br>Nothing too fancy here, although I'll say that I like SPG more than they have a right to, considering that their songs are pretty hit or miss for me. Little bit for the spooky season!<br><br></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2wn2ZaIv-A" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2wn2ZaIv-A</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/30DaySongChallenge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaySongChallenge</a></p>
That Frisian Girl-ish<p><span>Day 20 - A song that has many meanings to you<br><br>Sonata Arctica: Victoria's Secret<br><br>One out of Sonata Arctica's more classic time, this one speaks to practically any time for me there's been a solution to a problem staring me in the eye, and it needed just some courage to get it going. But particularly, this is for me, likely not intended, a song that describes coming out specifically as trans fem. There's the nice underwear reference, and the chorus:<br><br>"Dancing on the path and singing<br>Now you've got away<br>You can reach the goals that you have set<br>From now on, every day<br>There is no way you would go there now<br>Oh no, those days are past<br>Life is waiting for the one who loves to live<br>(And it is not a secret)"<br><br>Yes, society is making the life of trans people damn hard, ridicule us, demonize us. In fact, one way or another, seeks to kill us, and more than we like they succeed. On the other hand, the trans experience is almost universally one of incredible relief from a burden. For many of us, for all the difficulties, it's the first time in our lifes that we actually feel like we're dancing our way through life instead of pulling a millstone around our neck around. And for the vast majority, we won't go back to that.<br><br>Also, front man and singer Tony Kakko is such a positive, energetic stage presence, if you have the chance, go see him live. It's like playing with a really friendly Golden Retriever who can also sing, it's impossible to leave unhappy.<br><br></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkhC-l3Eoc0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkhC-l3Eoc0</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/30DaySongChallenge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaySongChallenge</a></p>
That Frisian Girl-ish<p><span>Day 19 - A song that makes you think about life<br><br>Adversus: Spinnenbein und Falkenherz<br><br>How often are we doing something that we feel is the good and known, without knowing if it's for the last time? How often do we know, deep down, that this is even now a thing of the past, false comfort? This is a song about that feeling, when we observe the past pattern on the surface, while deeper currents are already running strongly into scary new territory.<br>No wonder, really: I'm nonbinary trans fem, I'm divorced, I'm childless against my wishes, I have waved good friends goodbye in the hopes of seeing them again and never did. I have seen this all over my life, changes that leave the known in dust and ashes.<br><br>So here's that:<br>"Still, stör' die Ruhe nicht<br>Weil du sonst den Zauber brichst<br>Schweig, sei nur Schlaf und Traum<br>Im Dunkeln wächst ein Knochenbaum<br><br>Denn in dieser Nacht, da wandle ich mich wieder<br>Steige im Flügelschlag über uns hinaus<br>Greifende Klaue, unruhiges Gefieder<br>Dies' Falkenherz im Käfig schreit:<br>Lass mich hier raus!"<br><br>(en: "Quiet, don't disturb the silence<br>Or you'll break the spell<br>Quiet, just be sleep and dream<br>In the dark grows a bone tree<br><br>Because in this night, I'll change again<br>Rise in the beat of a wing above us<br>Grasping claw, unquiet plumage<br>This falcon heart in the cage screams<br>Let me out of here!")<br><br></span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ2GV-Jzm7o" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ2GV-Jzm7o</a> <a href="https://blahaj.zone/tags/30DaySongChallenge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#30DaySongChallenge</a></p>
