Lately I've been listening to a lot of songs to keep me myself on track. But the funny thing is, it's always the sad songs that speak to me more than the happier ones. And no, I'm not sad when I listen to them, I just like to enjoy the song.
When listening to music, I sometimes don't have to have a reason to want to listen to it other than to just enjoy it. I don't have a favorite genre per se, I listen to what I feel like listening too and that ranges from Screamo to Disney showtunes. I'm sure I weird people out when I get excited over old school gangster rap or if I start singing a little Van Halen afterwards.
I never really realized it was an issue with the music I listen to until I was told that what I've been listening to isn't "normally" what I listen to. But what is "normal" music? And why do I have to have a reason to listen to whatever?
Some songs speak to me and take me back to whatever memory I have connected to it. If I listen to the song "Every Thug Needs A Lady" by Alkaline Trio, I see my 16 year old self singing it while walking home with my cousin from the bus stop. Or if I hear any Tupac or Biggie song, I'm reverted back to my 7 year old self sitting in the car with my dad heading to miniature golf.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that music is a part of you, no matter what you listen to, and that you really don't have explain yourself when you listen to certain songs. Whatever song speaks to your heart, listen to it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
What's your favorite song? Or favorite memory that a song brings you back to when you hear it?
