Brave Saint Saturn

Hey guys. I just figured I’d do a little bit of a shout out for one of my favorite bands. I promise this is also actually related to somewhat of a larger issue. It might take me awhile to get to the point, but I’ll get there.

I really love lyrical music. It’s basically poetry set to a beat, and it makes it sort of special in its own way. It’s interesting, because a lot of the time people actually have a hard time explaining why some types of music or a specific song speak to them so much. It’s very deeply rooted within the soul and psyche of a person.

For a while I was really searching for music that spoke to my soul.

 I found a lot of great music along the way, but the one band that stood out among all of them would have to be Brave Saint Saturn. There are always multiple artists and songs that speak to one person’s soul, but if I had to choose one that speaks the most truth into my life it would have to be them.

It is so important to find things that speak to the human soul. It’s a very strange thing to me how often times people don’t seem to seek out nourishment for their souls. We have music that is okay on the pop stations and such, (Not dissing popular music at all) but why don’t we seek out something more?

I don’t mean to point any fingers, or say why don’t you just go like all of the weird indie music, but what I am asking is why do we continue down the path of vapidity? We could be so much more, and do so much more, why do we settle for what is so easy?

I know the answer to the question in part. Because we have a sin nature, and because out culture has conditioned us to accept what is placed in front of us. And there is nothing wrong with any of that per say. I just can’t help but continue to question why we don’t go beyond what we have been given? I don’t think the cop out nature of, “well, that’s just how society is” covers  the problem of continued ignorance.

We are the ones who make our media, and therefore our culture.  Why can’t be expand our minds? Seek out what is pure and good for our souls as people, so as to expand the culture dynamic around us.

It always feels so presumptions to just say something like this, but I can’t help but continue to ask the same question, because it seems as though for so many people the concept just doesn't get through to them. 

It’s just my thoughts, but it is a very human’s right, as well as responsibility, to attempt to improve themselves. 

Who knows, maybe I’m just snarky and home-schooled. xD
