M-U-S-I-C

When someone asks me what kind of music I listen to, I usually say ANYTHING and EVERYTHING.  But the main thing I look for when it comes to a "good song" is something I can sing along to.  Something that speaks to me...something I can actually understand what they are talking about.  It doesn't always have to be a "story"...sometimes the best songs have hidden meanings and are metaphoric, which are sometimes even better.

Before I say this, I want to mention that I appreciate every kind of music. From country to rap to classical to hard core screamo...it's all music and to SOMEONE it's all beautiful.  Having said that, when it comes to degrading rap talking about sluts and b****es who f**k good...that's where I draw the line.  I do not appreciate the degrading rap.

A lot of my friends like the hard-core screamo music where all I hear is RRRRRRRRRAHHHHHHHHHH IIIIII  WWWWIIIILLLLLL KIIIILLLLLLLL YYYYOOUUUUUUUU!!!! I guess I just don't understand why...and that's okay. Because I like country, and a lot of people don't. A lot of people don't hear the GOOD out of country. They hear "My truck got stole, my woman got stole, my dog died, I lost my job and now I'm drinkin at a bar" when really, that's not the case at all most of the time.  A lot of country, especially modern country has an excellent story to it, and most of it is really positive and feel-good and puts you in a good mood. And since I don't listen to a lot of screamo, maybe I don't hear the good songs.

Music has always been my escape. When I'm feeling down, I put on some music (especially the kind with a good message) and then sometimes, when I want to scream, I turn on some AC/DC (about as hard core as I go) and head bang lol (funny sight too) But at any rate, whatever it is I'm listening to, music is music. It's the most amazing, most beautiful thing in the world. It works wonders for me and many many many other people in the world. Without music, I would probably be a very very stressed out, negative, crazy, depressed person. I owe my sanity to M-U-S-I-C!

Anyway, this is me on my soapbox, what I was thinking about tonight.

Over and out.
