Musicccc. Dont we all love it? whether it be top 40 pop crap or the most intense black metal ever, we all want to hear music. Music means something different to us all. To some, it means it's time to party. It may mean it's time to get down. Actually that's awkward. Skip that one. Okay. BUT, to me it means freedom. It means i have time to sit down and listen to something I feel i can connect with. ADD. I have always had a strong connection with music. It started with the blues. I loved to sit down, play some bluesy Zeppelin and just "rock out" to it. Zeppelin is and always will be THE best band ever. Bar none. As I grew to who i am now, still love blues but i am far more open to music. Today, i listen to Chiodos, TDWP, and other "hardcore" bands like that, and very indie bands such as Silversun Pickups, Cage the Elephant, and many others. I also like to write music. Emotionally I don't engage myself very much, so the closest to "emotional" i get is my writing. I love writing music. It opens doors once locked by ignorance. It washes stains that you couldn't get out of your mind. It solves, and occasionally creates problems that you never thought could be possible. It's like nothing else. I play in the band Midnight Epiphany, and i have been for 3 years now. I've seen some of my best friends come and go in that band, and while it has been THE absolute WORST experience for me, it has also been the BEST. There is nothing that could bring me closer to that hypothetical happiness than music. Writing and performing. Performing and writing. I could do that for an eternity. Performing is high in and of itself. I love that feeling. I'll NEVER do drugs, so performing is as close as i'll get haha. That connection you get with the audience when everything is just right is nothing short of phenomenal. Music changes sooooo many peoples' lives, and to be part of chaning one's life is amazing. I also like apple pie.
