Music Review: Sixx A.M. ;; Life Is Beautiful

Wow. I did a little research on the band Sixx A.M. because I wanted to start posting about some of my new favorite songs. The first single on their album The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, Life Is Beautiful sends a rather powerful message. With the sound of the band I was expecting My Chemical Romance type lyrics but it was just the opposite.

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Sixx A.M. wasn't originally meant to be a band. The bassist, Nikki Sixx was the bassist for Motley Crue. When he was younger he used to be a big drug addict and he literally died and had to be revived by medics. (Hence the song "Kick Start My Heart") So he realized "life is beautiful" and he had to clean up his own life. Looking back on his journal entries, he decided to publish a book to help kids who may have been feeling the same way he was or in similar situations. He called it the Heroin Diaries. Then he got together with James Michael(vocals) and DJ Ashba (guitar) and wrote a soundtrack to his book.

I haven't heard any of the other songs from the album but I really like Life Is Beautiful. Its just a powerful song and knowing a little history behind it makes it all the more powerful.

You can’t quit until you try
You can’t live until you die
You can’t learn to tell the truth
Until you learn to lie

You can’t breathe until you choke
You gotta laugh when you’re the joke
There’s nothing like a funeral to make you feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

I know some things that you don’t
I’ve done things that you won’t
There’s nothing like a trail of blood
to find your way back home

I was waiting for my hearse
What came next was so much worse
It took a funeral to make me feel alive

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?

Just open your eyes
Just open your eyes
And see that life is beautiful.
Will you swear on your life,
That no one will cry at my funeral?
