The
Thousand Pities
– Believe In Sound.
I needed to do a
little research after I listened to this
love of life/love of music story unfold. Here is a tale that examines,
and cites
as influential, life’s lessons and how music/sound, through
the viewpoint of
Rock-n-Roll as the common element/thread of a life lived and learned,
is in
essence, the elixir of life. Upon hearing how a well respected musician
of the
late 80’s – early 90’s Collegiate
Alternative scene throughout the Northeast,
settled down and re-emerged in the now happening matured Rock circuit
of
Montclair, NJ, I did some research - you should too: head to The Thousand Pities webpage to read the
impressive bios of all the band members and their respectable former
bands and friends;
the list reads like a virtual Who’s Who of that Eastern
Alternate scene. A list
that gathers more deserving acknowledgement as more of these fabulous
musicians
come out of Real Life-imposed retirement.
Retirement might
sound like a dated word - Rock-n-Roll
doesn’t retire, the Blues never retired, Jazz never retired -
but something
strange happened with rock-n-roll; as it ages in us, we find ourselves
remembering it to be the elixir of life. It’s a perspective
I’m finding more
of, the further we dive into the rock of older independent musicians,
as opposed
to that of aged rock stars. Difference is, after having spent their
teenage
youth in the local bars, clubs, and halls of a time decades ago, those
who never
pursued their young adulthood on to the arena and stadium stages, are
now, as
mature wise men, recreating/reconsuming life’s elixir. They
now have the
knowledge of how life has a way of sidetracking us from the moments
where all
was blissful with our rock-n-roll, and now understand once again how
sound/music
is the cure-all for whatever ails us…
The
Thousand Pities
have an interesting tale to tell – that of the youthful
Rock-n-Roller who puts
down his guitar for the reality of young adulthood, and decades later,
as a
mature wise man, picks it back up, to once again Believe
In Sound.
“What if I play the
same chords / but I sing a different song.”
This album flashes
our rock-n-roll life in front of us, but
instead of meeting our maker, we meet ourselves again, almost a half
century after
Roger Daltrey stuttered out “I hope
I die
/ before I get old…”
Rock-n-Roll of
teenage youth is a relief of aggression, a
question of life’s significance, and slap in the face of
reality.
Rock-n-Roll of
young adults is a settling of aggressions,
the understanding of life’s significance, and a slap in the
face by reality.
Rock-n-Roll of
mature wise men is an aggressive enjoyment of
life’s significance, and a slap on the back of reality.
The
Thousand Pities
play and sing about their teenage, Rock-n-Roll youth and how they
traded it in
for young Real-Life adulthood. They also play and sing about how
life’s
knowledge, maturity, and wisdom have allowed them to once again believe
in
sound as the elixir of life.
