BlackRain unplugged

It's been raining all day long, but the good news is that I've bought some new winter clothes that I freaking love. Came home looking like a drowned rat though. Why do we even say that btw? I looked like me, not a rat. But I was soaking wet, that's for sure. Anyways, to finish this day off I would like to share some videos with you guys. As you know I am a fan of the french rock band BlackRain. Earlier this year they did an unplugged tour in their home country and there are plenty of videos from that tour on YouTube.

"Addicted to failure" is one of my top favourite songs. It doesn't matter if I listen to the record version or the acoustic version. I guess it means a lot to me because I recongnize myself so much in the lyrics. The feeling of hopelessness when you're depressed and lonely. Luckily I don't suffer from chronic depression no more, but it can come and go depending on what's going on in my life. My biggest problem now is that I put too much pressure on myself to be succesful. Not when it comes to school or stuff like that, but in my personal life. It's important to not lose yourself in the attempt to live up to your dreams. But sometimes I do forget what I really should be focusing on and that is when I can relate to this song the most...

'Lunacy is no longer a feeling'...

This is the second video from a gig in March. Here we get to see a collection of my favourite BlackRain songs. After playing "Addicted to failure" they move on to "Shining down on you" which is a pretty calm song. It can seem boring to begin with, but the raw chorus convinces you to keep listening. It took me some time to like it but now I can't get it out of my head! The video ends with "She's in love" which is a more upbeat song with a pop/rock sound. I truly can't wait to hear some of these tracks live when I go to Paris in December. I have a feeling it'll be one hell of an evening.
