i love music. If i where not able to listen to music, i think i would quite literally go insane. If i where to suffer an illness where i lost my hearing, it would devestate me. i think i could handle not being able to hear anything anymore, but i would still be able to see the beauty in the world. But to not hear music, would be the worst possible thing that could ever happen to me. i listen to so many different styles of music. i try not to tie myself down to one specific genre. In fact, i don't really look at music categories, i have come up with my own: Good and Crap. In fact, i don't relate past experiences to sites or general sounds, but to different music i was listening to at that moment. For instance, when my ex girlfriend left me, i was listening to Hoobastank's
Unaffected , which if you look at the lyrics, it is actually very appropriate, since she told me she was leaving me and i let her live with me and sleep in the same bed with me for a week before she flew out to live with this other guy. Maybe i'll tell that story in another blog. When i was waiting for my first session with my Mistress, which was postponed because of Katrina, and other various issues that arose, the song that sticks out the most in my mind is Staind's
Right Here. When i have been a long period between seeing or talking with my Mistress, the song that always pops into my head now is Nickelback's
Savin' Me . Right now when i think about how i feel towards my Mistress, there are parts of songs that really stand out. One right now is one by Evans Blue, called
Cold (But I'm Still Here. Parts of that really speak to me, especially the ending of the song. There are so many more songs that move me or speak to me. So many songs that make me cry every single time i hear them, and they are probably not songs you would expect to make me cry either, because i doubt many of you would think i listened to them. When i am not able to listen to music, while at work, i am always walking around singing to myself. And i have noticed that since i have quit smoking, my voice is getting a little bit better. You won't see me on American Idol anytime soon, but who knows, maybe i'll get serios about learning to play the guitar, after i finish my book that is. Speaking of writing my book, i can't write without music. i have tried, and i just can't do it. my fingers just move better across the keyboard with music playing, my brain goes on Auto Pilot and the thoughts just flow so much cleared from my brain to my fingers. I can't sleep to music, however. Because there always seems to be a song coming on right as i am about to drift off to sleep and i'll think to myself, "oooh! Good Song!" and sing along. So i don't listen to anything when i am trying to sleep. So how many of yo have a soundtrack to your life? Not just generic music for things that have happened or are hyappening in your life, but Actual songs that bring back specific memories about people, places, and things in your past? You name a song and i can probably tell you a specific memory of something i have done that the song reminds me of. Alice Cooper's
Poison? One of the best lap dances i have ever gotten in my life. Dire Strait's
Money for Nothing? Spending a summer with a buddy when i was a kid just riding our bike around the neighborhood, playing baseball, and exploring the creek and the woods around our houses, always with a boom box playing that song. Every song just about has a specific memory attached to it. Music is very much a part of who i am, and who i will be. As much as i like writing, i think i like music more. It's just who i am. i lose myself in the music, singing aloud, really feeling the music as it flows through me. i can't help it, and i wouldn't change it for anything.
boy
