Thanks, Atone and Arshey and everyone else that has fed it. I (we) appreciate the comments.
As Maybe said, Arshey, I'm 22 (23 this summer). I have a wide array of musical influences. Most of my subject matter is my own life experiences written down in abstract form (not all, mind you; some are just verses that sound good, lol). I do this (write my life in abstract song) as an attempt to keep it personal, yet keep myself out of the song at the same time. It's a technique I learn from my musical idol (Slug of Atmosphere) as a way to let the audience give their own interpretations of the song. I believe that if a listener can interpret a piece of music their own way, then they will gain much more from it than if you simply tell them what's going on in concrete terms.
My influences in music are mostly hip hop artists such as: Eyedea, Slug (as mentioned above), Spoonfull, Aesop Rock and Sage Francis. Commonly known as 'Back Packers'. I'm sure you've heard the term.
As well as the hip hop artists mentioned above, I take a lot of style influence from emo/indie/grunge rock bands. Bands such as: Nirvana, Red Jumpsuit Apperatus, Dashboard Confessional, Taking Back Sunday, etc.
Hope I helped :P
