In my head today: My Bloody Valentine

This is not the best audio version of the song, there are other videos that can show that. The reason I've got this version here is because it fits my image of My Bloody Valentine so well. I've had this group in my personal favs for years. This song and Only Shallow evoke such a mood in me.... it is dark and twisty and yet comfortable and calm. Hard to describe.

Oddly (for my age and geographic region), I have never taken any psychedelic drugs before. Not opposed to 'em, but my mind is complicated enough, right? This song has always made me FEEL how I imagine I'd feel if I were tripping. I go into an altered state that I can't describe. It physically alters my mood - probably even more with Only Shallow.

I have always had an impossible time trying to imagine any actual people behind this music. You know how you can get an image in your head - maybe you think the guitar player has a mohawk or the lead singer is a blonde. These guys... nothing. I can only barely grasp that this is music and not something much, much more profound and moving.

So now that I've started spending more time with YouTube and VodPod, I thought I'd take a look around for MBV. And this one matched my vision. Lights and movement and music and people - it looks hot and close and confined and divine. Yep, pretty much what's in my head.
