Sonic Revelations

I’m enjoying the quiet days as this year comes to an end,
Filling my days with music, and cataloguing my albums,
There’s a simple comfort to be had, in this time alone I spend,
I’m revisiting sonic memories from simpler times,
Passers by look bemused, what’s a 50-year-old supposed to listen to?
Thrash metal, nu metal, death metal, doom metal, black metal, there’s no crime,
Speed masters and slow doom crunchers can fill my ears with their call,
Dark Throne, Behemoth, Black Sabbath, Anthrax, Slayer, oh here’s Kill ‘Em All,
Early Metallica, followed by Megadeth and Slipknot, all rumble from out my front door,
Music is a sedative, an escape, a muse, but mine is not everyone’s cup of tea,
Rather than life stress, right now it’s big riffs, power chords, bass and drums for me.
