My earliest memory of growing up would be my parents blaring 80's rock and roll albums like Poison and KISS throughout the house on Sunday afternoons. That's when dad would be mopping the floors and mom would be making dinner. The whole house would be mixed with the smells of Pine-Sol and roast beef and the sound of "Talk Dirty to Me" playing from a stereo. I would have to say that Sunday afternoons were my favorite part of my childhood. I chose to talk about music in this blog because it has been around forever, and it isn't going anywhere; it is only changing, and it never stops. In this blog I plan to share my love for different genres of music, different artists, albums, and my favorite songs. I have a new favorite song just about every week, and right now I have a tiny/large obsession with Ed Sheeran. That's him below; the ginger with a ginger beard and an awesome color tattoo sleeve that includes a kitten. Anyways, back to why I chose this topic.
I enjoy deep music that has meaning- not the music about fuckin' bitches and gettin' money. Music can get you through any situation whether its heartbreak, suicidal thoughts, or the all too common parents being divorced. I think we all can agree that music is powerful. Music has gotten me through my own fair share of tough, troubling times; some of which I will address in future blogs. I've also chosen this blog because I think song lyrics should be used more in real life. Personally, I am not good at expressing how I feel romantically so I always just quote song lyrics to express my feelings. There is an album or song for every situation or emotion that human beings come across in life, so if you ever think that you're alone or that you're sure that you're feeling something so terrible that no one has ever experienced it before, trust me, there will be a song about it to help you through it, and if it doesn't help you through it, it will at least let you know that you aren't alone.
I felt alone through all of high school. I had been working at McDonald's every evening and weekend so I had no time to hang out with friends, so I lost all of my friends from school. This made me hate high school because no one would talk to me and everyone thought I was gross because I worked at McDonald's. Music really helped me through this part of my life. I'm so much happier in college because no one knows much about me or anyone else so it's easy to make friends. A cool thing that I'm finding out right now is that music connects people to each other. One of the first things I ask people is what type of music they listen to. I like almost all types of music so it is an easy conversation for me to have with people to get to know them. Music is truly powerful and I can't wait to post more blogs to talk about it.
