Okay, to understand my journey with this group and song, you're going to have to go through it exactly as I did.Step 1: Play this song.So, I got home last night, and decided to download a few new songs to play on Rock Band. I picked up 5 new tracks. Songs from 30 Seconds to Mars, The Police, QotSA, and The Monkees.Look...don't start with me about my bizarre musical tastes.In addition, one of the last songs on the list was a song I'd never heard of called "Monsoon" by this group Tokio Hotel. Never heard of 'em, but the 10 second clip of the song that played when I highlighted it sounded pretty good, so I popped it into my basket with the others.So, after failing miserably at playing "3s & 7s" on the hard difficulty, I found myself playing all of my new downloads on medium. "Monsoon" was the last one I played...and played...and played...over and over again. I really liked this song.I mean, it's a nice song. Nice lyrics. Nice melody. It's catchy. Sure, it's a little soft. I found myself thinking things like, "Man, whoever wrote this song is a fag!" and "My friends are gonna clown me for liking this song." But, it's sweet.To me, this song is what Rihanna's "Umbrella" should have been. Not necessarily because they both use rainy weather as simile for the rough times. I remember listening to Rihanna's song for the first time and thinking that the whole umbrella thing was just kind of weak. Like, okay, if I don't stand under your umbrella, I'll get wet...but I'll be okay. I mean, unless it's raining ginsu knives...I'll probably get to where I'm going okay. Ya know what I mean? It's just weak. It doesn't give me the feeling that it's something important. It really didn't have a whole lot of feeling to it. Okay, so it's a silly pop song and I should just zone out and enjoy it. Which I did after being bombarded with it for months. But, the fact remains that it's a weak fucking metaphor.A monsoon on the other hand...well, yeah. Saying that you and I will make it through the fucking MONSOON...that's saying something. :)So, after I had tired of playing the song on Rock Band, I decided to look up the video.Step 2: Watch the video.So, now I'm like, "Wow, I didn't realize that's a girl singing." I felt kinda bad. I listened to the song fifty-eleven times, and all the time I was mistaking this chick for a guy. But, upon giving it another listen...oh, I guess that is a woman's voice.Then, I read a few of the comments to the video."the singer is gay and a fagdaniel you blow the singer's dick""tom, u hear me.. u r WAY hawt

ANNAAAAA!!!
Awww, as long as you love me, the rest of the world can go dive into a flaming pit of androgyny and fuck themselves. :) Speaking of Anna, and love, one of my daughter's FAVORITE songs now is "Why Do You Love Me". You should see her rocking out to it on her little plastic guitar. If she would only let me capture it on camera.OMG, how did I miss this? Love the post Troy! It's not just me with this guilty pleasure. I got seriously addicted to this song last year, and I'll happily admit to liking lots of other songs which might be considered guilty pleasures (Girls Aloud etc). But I'm not too sure about admitting to liking this one in the real world lol.
I found your post because my Monsoon addiction has crept back, and I er....had a wee search for Tokio Hotel on Mog *ahem*
I was totally convinced Bill was a girl too after seeing a pic of him and then to me on both versions of Monsoon he sounds kinda feminine. Then I saw one of their other videos "Hey, that's a guy!"
Glad to see Monsoon getting a bit of love around here....it's not just me! Though gotta admit I wouldn't have had you down as a Tokio Hotel listener Troy even if it is the one song. Though I can't speak I er...bought the album. And no, there is nothing as good as Monsoon on there.
Oh no! She's having a Monsoon relapse!
We're all with you, Milkshake, through these trying times. I truly believe that we can kick this habit...together!
It's getting worse! I'm even listening to some of their other tunes. Though I don't enjoy them as much as Monsoon of course. And Monsoon is back on my mp3 player! It'll die down again....perhaps.
