#48- My music.

I have a variety of music on my Ipod and computer. It varies, everything from classic Aerosmith, Live, Static X, Mudvayne, Brooks and Dunn, Fuel, Eric Clapton, and Hollywood Undead, a little over five days music all together. I started this collection about five years ago, every so often adding music if I'm thinking about it. Every song has a different meaning behind it. Kinda like whenever I hear Limp Bizkit's Three Dollar Bill I think back to 1998 when I graduated high school. A carful of friends having absolutely nothing else to do but cruise around Pekin in a convertible, having the best time ever. Then there are the great ones. This would be the majority of my collection. All the classics from the 60's, 70's and early 80's. Whenever I would go on trips with my dad in the semi that would be all he would listen to, so I learned to like it. Now if I'm in the car and there’s nothing on I usually just flip it to 95.5. I remember one of my friends jokingly told me that she credits me for bringing rap into our town. Being that young we had only two options for music, country or oldies. I had gotten a bunch of cds from a friend and mixed in all the 80's hair bands was a Warren G cd. I remember taking it over to my other friends house and listening to it over and over, memorizing all the lyrics. And I'll listen to things like Manchester Orchestra and it reminds me of my more recent friends that I've made. Take my friend Kendra for instance. If I had never met her I wouldn’t have never of gotten the tattoo I really wanted. All the music I have in my collection is there for a reason. No matter what genre they are or who sings them, they all have a story behind them, and a memory. Regardless if it's having the best prom ever because you decided to go with one of your best friends or remembering someone you really miss, they all have a memory behind them that basically tells the story of your life.

  1. Fran, I love this blog. Music is a big part of my life, too. I love to listen to my "oldies" because I can remember situations and experiences that I wouldn't without hearing a song.

  2. I know what both of you mean! It seems like for every situation you can hear a song playing in your mind. Almost like when your watching a movie and for everything that happens there is a song that fits the situation perfectly.
