Listen with Your Ears..Feel it in Your Soul Music is what feelings sound like. Ah..music..sweet music...for me it fills a void. It can make me happy. It can make me sad. It can get me through cleaning my house. It can relax me. It can make me feel sexy. It can get me horny. It can say the things I want to say to my man, when I can't find the right words.
To me, music is all about how a person feels. When I'm in a happy, cheerful mood, I play music that is happy. Something with an up beat tempo and with words that are familiar, easy to understand, and that you can really sing your heart out with. When I'm in a pissy mood, I want to play music that sounds like it...something hard and dark..with words that say what I'm really feeling inside.
I don't really know alot about music..or the artists. All I know is that certain songs make me feel a certain way. For instance, when I hear the song, Hotel California, by The Eagles, I immediately think of my husband. How one evening, prior to marriage, we laid in bed, exhausted from our love making, while this tune played in the backround. How we sang along quietly and laid in eachother's arms. Whenever I hear it or play it here at home..I get that same feeling of his arms around me...keeping me safe from the beasts of the world.
But now, as I write this, I'm also thinking about what music I really like in general. Honestly, I like it all. Except for that really heavy metal stuff. Where the people who are singing are not really singing, but screaming into a microphone. You can't understand what the hell they are saying, and the music just seems to make me hurt all over. That is really the only music that I do not care for. I like good old fashioned rock 'n roll, country, pop, jazz, blues, r & b, classical...but if you ask me the names of the songs, or who sings them...I'll have no freakin' clue. When I hear something I like..I turn it up..if I don't like it, I'll turn it off. Plain and simple. :)
