-When you heard it for the first time?
I cannot remember when I heard it for the first time, but I think it was when I downloaded some System of a Down’s discs. I heard the disc called Hypnotize, and when I paid attention to the song (wich has the same name) I really felt that this song had something very important to say, because the only thing that I understood at that time (Because I was not good at english 5or 6 years ago) was “television made you buy it”. It was a little bit shoking for me, because I had never thought about that, I mean, that TV provokes something on people.
-What struck your attention?
When I understood the song (better than the first time) what called my attention was the sentence “Propaganda leaves us blinded”. What, actually, is true. We just need to think about it.
-Who it is by?
This song is by System of a Down
-What it makes you feel?
This song makes me feel upset with people that still think that TV does not lie us. I have met too many people that still think that everything that is shown by the TV cannot be, everything, a lie. Moreover, they think that TV does not control them, because they have the posibility to decide between buying this thing or the other. The thing is that, whatever they decide to buy is because TV gave them a "subliminal message" to buy it, and they do not realize about it.

Well, I used to listened to this band when I was 15 years. Nonetheless, I hadn't listened to this song. It's a very good one, though.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that the lyrics of this song cannot be truer, because, it is true that television always makes people buy things that it (t.v) shows. In addition to this, it is also true that ads are forever creating new needs in order to make people satisfy these needs by buying a lot of stuff. From my vies, this is horrible. We are being interpreted, because they (people with power) know which our material needs are and at the same time, they are creating new ones. But, who really cares about it? Almost nobody, all in all, everybody lives his/her perfect apple pie life.
Bye-bye ... Thanks for your comments on my blog. See you in classes ... n.n
I didn't know you like System. I've heard no more than 10 of their songs, but I have to say that I really like those. I hadn't heard that one, but know it is going to be on my mp3 player ;)
