I would appreciate any recommendations you may have.

I feel lost, I feel like the kid in Immortality, seeing the which way sign. I am a college kid, and feel like many people did in the 1960's. Its hard for me to concentrate when the world is being destroyed, wars are waged, soldiers killed, environment nearly eliminated. I feel like I am being forced to choose a major and get a degree, and what good will it do, with all thats going on.

Can anyone reccommend music that deals with being lost, feeling helpless, angry , and powerless. WWS and unEmployable, are explicitly about what I am refering to. Another example is Blind Melon's Change where its says, "When life is hard, you must change"

I need music to help me through this

    Well... good luck. Music can be a great aid.

    Older Modest Mouse perhaps? Or, how about some '60s music? Bob Dylan?

    I don't really have anything other to offer, but I wanted to say good luck.

    'Prime Time Deliverance' or 'Apparitions' by Matthew Good Band may be easier to find.

    Made for TV Movie - Incubus

    heard a word from on high
    Glare like a light in the sky
    It said, "quit blowing each other up"

    A voicing so crystaline clear
    Something's unclean in your ear
    When only blood fills your cup

    Hello
    I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
    Focus
    I'm witnessing history repeating

    It fell like a tear from my eye
    Flying machines so up high
    Well, there goes the neighborhood

    A scene set to singe innocence
    Upheave, unhinge, and pit against
    Like every made for TV movie should

    Hello
    I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
    Focus
    I'm witnessing history repeating

    Focus, Focus
    Focus (I can see now)

    We are, we know, we see, we think for you
    The who, the what, the when, the where, the why
    We build your young, we build you too, we see you all

    Hello
    I'm trying to focus, but my eyes decieve me
    Focus
    I'm witnessing history repeating
    An ounce of deception
    Kills a pound of pain

    I love the songs, but I agree that there isn't exactly a feel or flow. Each disc is flat as a whole, but has many great songs individually.

    I like it, but already have made several playlists with the songs broken down with other songs. Probably won't listen to the whole thing much together like his other albums.
