Ok, so I got in this big argument with someone the other night, and I won't bore you with all the details, but it was mainly about music and the state of music today. It wasn't all that bad untill she said "well, it's only music". Then it got ugly. Only music? ONLY music??? What the fuck? Only music. Only my life. Only everyting in the world to me that matters. Music is passion, music is life. I still remember the first concert I ever went to. I won't embarrass myself by saying who I went to see, but when those house lights went down, the stage lights came up, and I heard the band start to play and the crowd began to roar with approval, and began moving together in one rythmic, gyrating mass, I was hooked. I knew right then and there what I would do with my life. I bought a guitar and have never looked back since. Music is the most amazing thing I have ever found in life. For everything that I have been through in life, for every emotion I have ever had, there is a song that fits.
Think about it. If you are sad, happy, glad, pissed off, in love, heart broken, there is a song that goes with it. Music has given me reasons to love, given me poetry, given me beauty, happiness and sadness. Put on an old record that you and your friends used to just love. I don't care if its a Kiss record, or maybe it's old Agent Orange, or hell, New Kids On The Block for that matter. Whatever it is, put it on and just listen. You'll be transported back to that time again. You'll feel like you did the first time you heard it. I can hear a certian song, and It will bring back strong memories and emotions from a period of my life. Drive around in your car with the music blasted and nod your head, dance around your living room naked, call your friends over and listen to that old record and laugh about the old times. Whatever you want, just listen and appreciate. Fall in love again, do whatever, just keep listening.
