So if you haven’t already noticed, my other obsession in life besides reading is music. When they combine it is amazing.

Meg and Dia are a band that often brings the two worlds together. Especially, on their first album, a lot of their songs are based off of books the sisters love. On the new album, they tried to get away from that a little. In blogs, seeing them, etc it is obvious that they still read a lot.

Anyways, on the new album, Here, Here, and Here, they have a song called Hug Me Til You Drug Me. The song is based on the novel Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. It is an amazing song and they recently recorded it at Pop Machine Studios and put it, along with two other songs up for free download. Go to the link on top to check them out.

The other songs, in case you are interested are Halloween and Black Wedding. Halloween is about a friend passing away in a car accident. It makes me cry every time I hear it. It really gets me not only because of the real way they talk about feeling that come with losing someone but also, those in my life I have lose, have usually been around holidays.

Black Weddings is a song kind of about religion. Actually I saw Meg was say it was about getting carried away with love and Dia said about her thoughts on religion. Before this album she did a lot of searching into what she really believed religion was. I find it interested how they say it has different meanings because typically you think that a band comes up with a specific meaning, even if they don’t tell the fans it. However, Dia wrote the song but Meg saw it as something different entirely. It shows how songs really can have tons of meanings based on who you are. Another sidenote, the video for Black Wedding is absolutely amazing. The imagery in it is very different and interesting. It is beautiful, awkard, and fasinating all at the same time. Check it out on You Tube or wherever.
