Have you ever noticed that if you apply the same lyrics to different tunes, you get totally different songs? That's because the background music--chords, tempo, beat--all matter.
And I consider myself very musically influenced. very.
I just love music. I play it, sing it, hell, I'll even write it sometimes. It just....kind of helps my day go along. And music can totally change my mood. I'll admit...I'm a club kinda girl, and I do love me some hip-hop. Like that song by Dev and The Cataracs..."I like my beats fast and my bass down low." Which I do. Nothing relieves stress for me better than dancing at a club until my feet feel like they're about to fall off. Which also goes to say that I can't handle going out at clubs very often! It wears me out. Usually I'll try to go once, maybe--maybe--twice a month.
But I also have my days where all I want to listen to is Journey songs. And I love my Nickelback, Lifehouse, 3 Doors Down, Nine Inch Nails, Good Charlotte (yes, I still love them!)...or I'll have my boy band days where I'll bust out Backstreet Boys, Nsync, 98 Degrees...then there's the soul moments--Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Boyz II Men, Brian McKnight. I like my punk-rock-pop, like Avril Lavigne, Simple Plan, Sum 41, Paramore, The Veronicas...just everything.
Music is my inspiration. It lets me be myself no matter what--not that I'm a different person with each genre, but rather a different version of me.
Sometimes music is empowering. When I get ready to go out, I like to listen to music to just get me pumped for wherever I'm going and I'm just like, "BRING IT." Usually I'll listen to like, "Like a G6" by The Cararacs feat. Dev, or "Firework" by Katy Perry. I listen to a lot of Katy Perry. Her music is just so damn catchy! You listen to it before you go out and you know it's gonna turn out good.
So let music affect you at a deeper level. Artists pour their hearts out in song, sharing parts of their lives, sharing a message, trying to connect...it's something to think about.
