'alternate'ly

Was listening to Radiohead just now - Knives Out. Some voice this chap has. So to say, I somehow find a feature common to all alternate/grunge rock bands and vocalists - a certain pain in the voice. It just takes you for a wild trip through scenes - possibly irrelevant to you - of angst, despair, loneliness, estrangement... anything possibly capable of delivering an emotional blow to the human mind (heart?). In fact, I would say this whole setup of alternate rock, popularly grunge, is called so cos they have some underlying grudge - I dont know how to put this appropriately and thats just my theory:).
I can't pick out songs right now to describe what I intend to say 'cos the list is just way too long. But nonetheless I'll mention some forerunners of this art-
1. Black - Pearl Jam
2. Even Flow - Pearl Jam
3. Sour Girl - Stone Temple Pilots
4. High and Dry - Radiohead
5. Nutshell - Alice In chains
Well, Slipknot's on right now. Time for some crash-bam adrenaline rush.

when?

how often have you waited for the doorbell
how often have you waited for a call
how often you walked among a million faces
all strangers in the mall

how often have you stared at those lights
how often have you sat there waiting for a breeze
how often have you dismissed those laughters
just to pretend your mind's at ease

how often have you put a hand in your pocket
walked back in at night
with dogs barking behind ..
creaks of the door and no one in sight

well its just one more such day
another such night
theres nothing much to say
just wish for sweet dreams and switch off the light
