Feel the Music

Alot of people like music. Alot of people also carelessly put anything on their iPod. Not me. I'm very picky. The music I listen to has to move me, or mean something to me. I like to have relatable music. Of course I have some silly songs, or songs that are just awesome and trippy. But the majority of music I listen to has feelings. I listen to the lyrics and put myself in their situation. One of my favorite artists is Sufjan Stevens. He writes his songs about the hardships in life. He has inspired me to write my own songs. Not about how I want to be Ke$ha [kidding] or how I was chilling with Lady Gaga last night [not kidding that really happened], but about what I have been going through, who I love, what I love,whom I am, and my emotions stirring. I have been working on my first song for a while. The lyrics are very meaningful. I try to write them so it still gets the message across but it's not too literal. For example, my father left us about two years ago and the divorce just ended recently. I am writing about how miserable I was during the time. One of the song lyrics is "Mental scars not bruises". Clearly meaning, it's something unfortuantely I'm never going to forget. But also in the song is the outcome, or what is going to come out of this experience, the positives if you will.
Music is something I feel for, it's something that means alot to me. I've grown up being exposed to the arts by my mother. I'm interested in all genres, opera, indie, broadway, folk, and alot more. This is something I love to talk about, and if you do as well, confront me and let's chat.
