That New Band

Remember the first time you heard that really great band
Like the rest of the world went silent
All you could do was sit and listen to this new sound
This new artist
This new form of expression
From a source that had been previously unknown
And the saddest part
Was when the song finally came to a close
And the final part of the chorus had finished
You had to remove your two hundred dollar beats by dr dre
And once again face all the realities in life that you had tried to avoid when you first wore those headphones
The aches and pains of schooling
The denial by the girl of your dreams
Being cut from all those sports teams
You can't believe the song ended
Because it was such a great escape
It was like the rhythm was a bridge
That if only for a second
Could take you into a different dimension
One where the problems of this world ceased to exist
And you just want to stay on that bridge forever
But you realize that in another three or four minutes the song will be over
Once again you will have to take off those headphones
And the lyrics that once drowned out the agony and the pain
Will no longer be there to stop the storms and the rain
But you remember that that great new band may have recorded more than one song
And you have hundreds of more tracks that will help you escape the pain
All night long

A nice poem. I like that part alot...:)

I can understand the concept but, the music that I need to shut out the world is a bit more soothing and a lot more rhythm and bluesy, To each their own though. A nice write on any level.

It describes the feeling of escaping through music well. Although, you could work on word choice, and maybe serperating parts of the poem, or concepts, with stanzas. But it's a good poem. Excellent Job. :D

Yeah ! Exactly the feeling ... you captured that well... I love when a new song or artist just draws you away... Well Done
