A little piece of heaven...

It's been exactly one month I heard about The Rev's passing.

28 is much too young to die.

R.I.P. Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan (1981 - 2009)
Drummer of Avenged Sevenfold

I think it was one of the worst things for me in 2009. I really love Avenged Sevenfold & their music. And Jimmy is a huge part of it. A great musician and writer with an extraordinary voice. He seemed to be a very crazy guy.

"The Rev is out of his mind.. - in the most wonderful way."-
 Valary DiBenedetto (on All Excess DVD)

This comment stayed in my head long after I watched the interview of Valary DiBenedetto on All Excess for the first time. I remember watching the videos of him and I was always laughing so hard. I remember talking about him with my best friend and we always ended up laughing or doing something crazy by ourselves. I remember watching the video M.Shadows put under his comment on avengedsevenfold.com and how the emotions just flowed through me as I watched it... crying - laughing - crying - smiling - laughing - crying. I really wish I would have had the chance to get to know hím, or at least to see him live... In August 2009 Avenged Sevenfold gave a concert in Dublin and I had the opportunity to go there. But I didn't. One of the biggest mistakes I could make.

The Rev was one of the most inspiring artists I've ever known. I promise I will never forget him and his music.

foREVer in my heart.

"I hope they realize that music is music, and that music is not a scene, not a style. Music is a beautiful fucking thing to listen to. It is not a thing to fucking preach to others about, it's not a fucking cause. It is what it is — and that's a beautiful artform."

Synyster Gates, AVENGED SEVENFOLD

Watching once more, as the world passes me by
Surrounded but still all alone, am I living a lie?
Empty faces, empty eyes
Are staring right through me
No regrets, but I still ask why
Take me away - to a peace I've never known
This is the price I've paid and it's taking its toll
Can it be too much to ask for the time it stole?
Empty faces, empty eyes
Are staring right through me
No regrets, but I still ask why
Take me away - to a peace I've never known
Take me away - where my life can be my own
I only wish that I had stayed
I only wish that I had known
Take me away - to a peace I've never known
Take me away - where my life can be my own
Where my life can be my own
Take me away

Good Charlotte - The River ♥
(feat. M.Shadows and Synyster Gates)

I love this song.

I remember exactly, when I heard it for the first time. I was so happy, because two of my favourite bands made this awesome song together. I didn't know they were friends so I was totally surprised and really happy about that.

(M.Shadows and Synyster Gates are both from Avenged Sevenfold)

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Your Guardian Angel

Such a beautiful song... listened to it again yesterday after a long time. I think I know this song for about 3 years now.. & I almost forgot it. Thank god I didn't :)

I opened up this blog because music plays a huge part in my life. Even though I don't play any instrument [ unfortunately ] and don't sing [ well, at least not in public ;) ], there's nothing more important to me than music. There's nothing more beauitful than a melody. There's nothing more heart-touching than lyrics.

I do not exactly know, how this blog is gonna look like. All that I know is, that it will be about music... because

Music is what life sounds like.
