30 Seconds to Mars

"I've been dreaming of things yet to come. Living, learning, watching, burning. Eyes on the Sun."

I got to know 30 Seconds to Mars from the song 'The Kill', thereafter they released 'Up in the Air'. Initially, I had some doubts about the trio seeing how horrifying the MV for 'The Kill' was. However, the MV for 'The Kill' kept playing in my head and it intrigued me. Like 'why were there twins, why was there a mysterious lady' and all. Then I googled+wikied and it turns out Jared got his muse from a movie. And Bartholomew Cubbins is actually him.

Subsequently, I fell in love with 'Up in the Air' and 'Closer to the Edge'. I'm a fan of One Direction and One Republic and their genre is far different from 30 Seconds to Mars. But I'm still gonna talk about 30 Seconds to Mars instead of the other 2 band/group.

The recent release of 'City of Angels' was absolutely beautiful and touching. The initial release of the lyric video was awesome! Just a lyric video and it generated so much feelings in me. It's a really nice song and I kept it on repeat for the rest of the day (not week-that'll be too much for my brain to handle). After which they released the actual 11++mins long MV and woah! It's a brilliant MV! There's artistes and street artistes and normal LA citizens featured in it. The way they depicted LA sounds so surreal and beautiful. For a moment, I could really imagine 'a boulevard of hopes and dreams, streets made of desire'. It's really really nice. The view of LA looking ever so charming as the sun sets, and the Hollywood sign looking over the people of LA. The artistes they interviewed provoked my heart and make me think a lot. All the hardships every people face are undesirable and unavoidable. The prejudices the artistes face everyday is not easy to handle at all.

Then there's 'Do or Die' and many other MV which touched my heart loads. The MV featured all the echelons from all over the world, getting crazy and united for 'Music'. Like what they wrote in the MV, it's a cult and I don't like it (Pun). Well frankly speaking, I'm not in the stage to join the 'cult' but I still admire the love from all the echelons. And needless to say, being called an 'echelon' sounds cool. Imagine calling yourself an 'echelon'. Hmmm, sounds like some ancient European god or warrior. It's a cool name.

Jared Leto and 30 Seconds to Mars is really talented and their fan base is huge. All the echelons out there be proud of 30 Seconds to Mars! Imma be one too after being a VIP (Big Bang) for so long. #echelon be brave and continue to listen. Music is all you need.
