freaky...
Apparently, I've been feeling a bit out of place all day today, but I just turned on Godsmack on my ipod, and... WOW
I get little giggles going on all over my body. Just like when I saw beautiful Berlin.
Wicked, just discovered my Orgasmatic music.
(Yes, it's been officially a month since I've been addicted to them, literally...)

okay, time to get back into research for these music, how is it made?

Interesting, interesting, interesting...
Listened to Godsmack's I stand alone.
First reaction: good sound, good groove, good production. Of course at very first I was caught by the scenes, cuz I watched it as a video on youtube.

I would recommend turning up your Hifi and displaying it on a big screen.
Then the odds: Sounds a little too old-school to me, meaning that it points towards late nineties Nu Metal, not ahead (considering that it was released in 2002).
Now the singer: powerful voice, no doubt. Is able to play the tough guy. But his poses aren't all the way convincing. Too template-like. This, of course, is more visible in a video where you can see the details of his mimics and gestures (on stage the effect might be different).
You should consider that this song was made for a movie soundtrack. This always requires certain standards to be met, and I am not knowledgeable enough when it comes to these necessities.
Then the lyrics: I'm not much of a lyrics person, or more: I haven't been so far. I would also argue that in a multimedia presentation of a song of that kind, the words do not come thru detailedly. There are a couple of key-words and key-phrases that support the overall effect of the music, rather than constituting it. This may be different for professional poets and playwrights... :P
So, where's the magic in it? I think, the clue is that it expresses a certain emotion, a certain mood. A sensation of protest and complaint. It relates more to the concerns of a teenage crowd than it relates to adults, but aren't we all still a bit teenage? :-)
