Elliott C. Back: Internet & Technology

A Musical World

Posted in Friends, Music by Elliott Back on November 19th, 2005.

For the overly tired and worn down, Eminem offers a choice consolation from The way I am:

I don’t know you, and no, I don’t owe you a motherfucking thing. I’m not Mr. NSYNC, I’m not what your friends think, I’m not Mr. Friendly, I can be a prick. If you tempt me, my tank is on empty–no patience is in me…

In his lyrics you find his secret world-destroying inner wrath, an idea which translates well in the real world. If you’re looking to sit passively and observe how the world really works, I suggest inspiration ala Eric Clapton’s Broken Down:

Everywhere I look, I see problems, where I never seen before: the cracks in the sidewalk, when I get home my key don’t even fit the door. The moon don’t shine, it’s broken down. The clouds are crying, they’re broken down.

We all know the world sucks, but that doesn’t help with girl problems. For that, we need the sage advice of Jay Z and his musical odyssey into love and interpersonal relationships, Big Pimpin’:

You know I thug ‘em, fuck ‘em, love ‘em, leave ‘em, cause I don’t fuckin’ need ‘em

Because all there is in life is money…
