Thank you for the warm welcome back and for being understanding. When I left I was pretty sick with Pneumonia and was having trouble keeping up with everything on here and I felt like I was letting everybody down and for reasons I thought it was best to leave all forums and stick to emails but I am glad to be back now and it is nice to come back and see familiar faces on here. I remember talking to you on some of the music threads before and we have similar tastes in music and I remember you said you were a fan of Judas Priest and I was curious if you have heard James Durbin's new album, 'The Beast Awakens' 'cause I think you might enjoy it. I have two of the songs below and it is very different than the Pop albums he was releasing after he was on American Idol and this is the type of album he always wanted to make and is similar to Judas Priest, Dio and Dokken but the major record labels wouldn't let him. mszanadu was a great member and always very warm and friendly to everybody on here and I hope they return one day.
While I have never had pneumonia, the health anxiety part, along with the constant bad news coming up, with all kind of horror stories, 24/7, made me shy away from my family and just be indoors for weeks. But when I noticed the blood in the spit, and that special feeling in my chest, I was pretty upset. The blood in the spit part ended not long after, but the weird feeling in my chest/lungs, held on at last for several weeks, but never ended up getting into something worse or serious.
But for a few weeks, I slept terribly, and felt I had problems breathing when I lie down (most likely the anxiety did not help out much on that part), and I also did the mistake of searching/looking up all kind of systems/signs from Dr. Google, and then all of a sudden, things (for my part) was back to normal.
Hopefully that is how it is with you as well, but I guess getting back to the normal days again, in general, is something we might just have to live with a for a while longer.
But browsing through and chatting with the familiar ones, on this site, has certainly been one of the daily highlights for me, and I guess that I am not alone on feeling like that either.
Yes, I do remember we hit on well, with Judas Priest, and a few others as well.
I have not heard of James Durbin, as I am a "bit" far behind on what is going on, with modern music, but I do appreciate a few recommendations, and that album cover, is quite a piece of artwork, makes me think of comcis like Conan the Barbarian and Spawn.
About the two songs you posted. I think the second one: Into the Flames, is the one I enjoyed most. Not that the first one is any bad, but Into the Flames feels or sounds like something that could easily have been included into an late 80s horror film, which in my ears, is a good thing.
Completely agree with you on the warmth and kind replies by mszanadu, as they always put a smile on my face, that and her standout avatar from the film Harvey, which I did not know of, until just not that far ago. Somehow, that image has just been stuck with me, and always felt kind of "silly" to ask her where she had that picture from. But when I finally saw the film, I felt the feel good and sweet tone, that movie included so much of, lived up to mszanadu and her including and friendly appearance.
Anyway, I hope that your are doing fine, and is rid of the pneumonia.
I guess we well be catching up again, sooner or later, as I try to visit the General Discussion board, a bit more often, and will surely try to keep in touch with the videos posted in "What song are you listening to right know".
