Clearing the Tangles of My Mind.

So life is complicated. It's like a ball of yarn that seemingly has only one end. You have to pick it out strand by strand at a time. Then sometimes you get frustrated and mess it up even further by shaking it, pulling at it, and crumpling it. Now, that might give some temporary cathartic effect on your turbulent consciousness, but it doesn't solve anything.

Therefore, when my mind was racing this evening, I took a step back from it all, to calm down and look at it from a bird's eye view. And for me, there's no better way to do that than to look for some new music.

Today I think I've found another good band. I sincerely have no clue where these bands are popping up from, but as much as their existence baffles me, I'm heartily comforted by the possibility that there are plenty of more bands out there like the ones I dig up. It's like a treasure hunt, but with each treasure leading to another one and then another one.

I introduce you, Monni, a Korean indie-rock band. This following song is called, Habit. 

It seems so far, that their specialty is melo-rock. The kind of music that tickles the heart and lets you rest on it as if you're floating on a puff of cloud. Like this next one, called Forever in My Heart. 

The band started back in 2005, with three members. Now with four members and three albums under their belt, Monni is fast garnering fame in the indie scene, standing at times alongside big name bands like Camomile.

Every time I discover a band that has been around for more than five years, I'm shocked at the indifference people have to these bands. If a band with a sound as good as Monni, has to be literally dug out like an ancient relic in an archeology expedition in order for someone to be able to discover them, then something certainly has gone awry.

Here's another jewel of a piece by Monni, called Together with You.

A band like Monni is a good band to listen to on a day when too many things are swirling around in a big mind storm in your head. That is exactly what I did, and I feel that a small, but significant bit of peacefulness has been recovered for my troubled mind.

Music can't be the cure, but it sure can be the remedy that will get you back on your feet. Here's a couple more, and good night.
