I love this song right now-- "Prelude 12/21" by AFI. I just wish that the band had made it longer to begin with.

But maybe there was a purpose or hidden meaning or a point they wanted to make in keeping it short. :)



If you're interested, the "12/21" in the song title is a date which seems like it may be a reference to one of two things; the 21st of December is the date of the Winter Solstice and in ancient Mayan culture, the 21st of December is thought to be the date on which the world will end. This same idea is also found in a few other cultures, and they all seem to agree that the exact date will be 21/12/2012. Hence, "Prelude 21/12", if you think about it, is really a "prelude" to death; a suicide note, a swan song-- anything that will finally let you "lay (it) to sleep".
