PARANOID



 
Ok first at all I must admit that I’m not “that” fond for music, so I’ve always been more enthusiastic for visuals than sounds (actually I have a 20/20 sight but my hearing isn’t the best), but that doesn´t mean I can’t appreciate a good song nor I haven’t a favorite band or music style (a good soundtrack can make the difference between a good scene or a crappy one).

In my case I like rock, hard rock and heavy metal (heavy metal, not the loudly and incompressible kind of metal…). British bands from the 70’s-80’s like Black Sabbath/Ozzy Osbourne, Ronnie James Dio, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest are my favorite, with powerful voices and great costumes singing about crazy worlds and epic fantasy stories, pretty cool…
 

Between these bands, I think the most relevant is Black Sabbath as the precursors of a new kind of rock with the song Paranoid, giving birth to the heavy metal we know nowadays. I’m not really sure when was the first time I heard it, but probably in 2006-2007 saw the video on VH1.
 

The lyrics and rhythm are really simply, but the atmosphere that generate is awesome, and sound like you’re falling down endless, which is perfect for the lyrics, because talk about an insane guy who realizes that he can’t control his life and now it’s too late to enjoying it.
