Kashmir - The Aftermath


Artist: Kashmir
Song: The Aftermath
Album: Zitilites
Year: 2003


"I'm wondering if my thoughts of her have ever crossed her thoughts of me, and if they're half as clear as mine and if there'll ever be a time, for us to journey once again as lovers and as trusted friends. What if the best is yet to come? And this was only the first part run..."


*A THOUGHT: So, here's a day I'm not too fond of... but what the heck!! I can relate to this song a lot and by a lot I mean A-Fucking-Lot, and to be honest I think most people can relate to it too. Before I start boring you (if you aren't already) I've got to tell you that this song comes from an amazing album, seriously, AMAZING, you should buy it now and give it to that special person or else 1000 pandas will die... Well, perhaps it won't be the best present for that special person, unless he/she is into music and don't worry the 1000 pandas won't die either... or will they? [insert an evil grin here]

Anyway, the meaning of this song to me is pretty obvious, (but don't let my interpretation modify yours, after all that's what music is about, one's opinion). I think is about this guy and the eternal 'what ifs' and 'shoulds' that come up when you like a girl and you want to come clean with her... "Should I tell her? What if by me telling her I screw up? What if she says no? What if this? What if that?" Then comes the chorus, which is optimistic, telling us to go for it, to forget the fear, to stop worrying about the consequences and tell her, and in a strict view that is what we all should do, but then again, easier said than done. As the song progresses we find out *SPOILER ALERT* that things did not end too well. Awwwww. But let's look at the bright side, maybe the girl feels the same or maybe she will slap us in the face and won't talk to us ever again, but hey! At least now she knows, at least you got it off your chest, but most importantly, at least you gave it a shot and you don't get to regret not telling her...

"Whoa finally dude! Are you done? 'cause I've got more important things to do like stalking the girl/boy I like on facebook" I know, I know, that's what you're thinking right now but that's alright, as long as you go and tell her/him how you feel, DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE AFTERMATH...

On easier things, you have 2 choices, you can either pick the studio version or the live version... or both. Wait a minute... wouldn't that give you 3 choices!? Am I thoughtful or what?







And remember... If you liked it, buy it...
