One of my favorite things in the world is music. I am
constantly adding new music to my iTunes and I love watching the amount of
music I have go up. it has always been an outlet for me. If I’m sad, I know
what song to play. If I’m happy, I know what song to play. I hate silence,
except when I’m sleeping, so even while studying in college I had classical
music playing while I studied. It is something I love learning about and
getting new information on. I love hearing the great artist in each genre and
who paved the path for artist in that genre today.
I have a playlist for
everything. Road trips, songs to listen to when I’m in the shower, songs for
when I’m sad and want to be happy, and simply songs for everything. I am
organized when it comes to my music.
Do you have a song that
every time you listen to it you have a memory attached to it? Those are my
favorite. You might not know it when you’re listening to it, but if it is worth
a memory it is an amazing song. Even if the song itself isn’t that special,
memories are. Find those songs. I will put my iTunes on shuffle and songs will
play from forever ago and I can see myself dancing around in my room to them, I
love it.
Find music that speaks to you. I love falling in love with
a new song. Give all genres a chance. Find songs that are you’re go to songs.
I’m happy, I’m going to listen to….. I’m sad I’m going to listen to… I need
something to brighten my mood…. I know my list of songs, it’s important to know
yours. Music might not be that important to some people, but it is always
there, playing somewhere.
You
don’t have to know anything about music to care about it either. I used to take
voice lessons and can play a few instruments, but that was also 4 years ago,
and now I focus on what the lyrics say in a song. How do they speak to me? I
listen to hear the drums in the background and the guitar. I listen. Music is
there to enjoy, enjoy it.
It’s
hard to do this post because it’s hard to put into words how important music is
to me. I spend hours being OCD with my iTunes making sure everything is
organized because it’s important to me. I am constantly writing down songs I
hear and artist I think I should look into to see if I like their music.
Even
if music is simply finding a good song on the radio, enjoy it.
Figure
out what music can do for you. Let it be your escape.
