In Memoriam
It's been a tough year for me and mine. It started with the passing of the person who gave me my passion for music. We'd always be sharing music together, seeing what music I liked of his and his of mine. Here's a list of albums that contain countless memories. Don't mind me as I reminisce. Nothing but smiles here. |
1 | | Dream Theater Awake
One of so many Dream Theater albums we'd obsess over together. I'll never forget our picture we got with Mike Portnoy in 2009. |
2 | | Twelve Foot Ninja Silent Machine
The one album I remember you loving the most, especially for the latin influence. |
3 | | Deep Purple Machine Head
If there's one song that epitomizes the way you lived your life, it has to be "Highway Star" |
4 | | Childish Gambino "Awaken, My Love!"
The last album I got to show you. I'll always remember your comparisons of Childish to Prince. |
5 | | Gamalon High Contrast
Completely unlocked the entire late 80's easy listening/prog rock(?) genre for me. |
6 | | Pantera Cowboys From Hell
I remember Cemetery Gates being the first song I tried learning on the drums at age 7, and then you showed me how it was done. It's only fair that I got to play it for you at your wake. What a moment it was. My favorite song ever. |
7 | | Audioslave Audioslave
Cochise was the first song you ever got to hear me play live. Unforgettable. |
8 | | Trivium The Crusade
They were never quite your jam, but this was the first album you ever bought me and the first show you ever took me to. I remember you shoving me in front of the line to get material signed. |
9 | | Evergrey The Inner Circle
I remember the exact moment: We were going through your massive collection of CDs and you handed a random CD to me asking if I wanted to check these guys out. You had never even listened to it before and apparently didn't really care to for whatever reason. Well, I took it in my room and listened to it and it quickly became one of my favorite albums with one of my favorite songs ever. |
10 | | Led Zeppelin Houses of the Holy
A favorite for the both of us. Nothing reminds me of you more. |
