I'm sure music is in everyone's list but I guess that's how impacting music can be in someone's life. I find it weird how I'm trying to explain how music makes me happy since it's already hard to understand why it makes me feel the way it does when it's just a bunch of musical patterns with some words thrown in there but then again why ponder upon it when you can just drift away with the flow of the music.
Music is one of the things I enjoy the most, it's appropriate for any situation! I remember being that type of kid who couldn't leave the house without my earphones and if I did forget them I'd be on the verge of tears. In middle school is when I was really into music, it was a 24/7 thing. During school I'd hide the cord of the earphones under my shirt and hide the ear buds with my hair so in every class I'd be jamming to some tunes while class was going on. I know I'm a genius.
It's like a gateway from the mess that is my life.
When I just want to shut the whole world out I just plug in my earphones and drift away.
Walking the hallways and riding the bus home are the two things I hate most about my day especially when I'm alone, all the noise, so many people, I feel suffocated! I feel my skin crawling, my arms and legs twitchy and the urge to to tell everyone to
But in reality I can't do that, I'd get my ass kicked by the crack babies that make up half of Waukegan, so instead what I do is crank up my music to drown the profanity and vulgar noise that surrounds me.
When I find that song that matches my mood it's like the whole world makes sense, feels like someone out there has felt the same way and somehow manifested that feeling into something that can be shared and can inspire. It just squeezes itself in your feels spot in your brain and it's like whoaaaa the vibes... their beautiful. So I'ma keep on rockin' till I can't rock no more.

Have you heard that song "Headphones" - I think it's by Matt Nathanson? Can't remember. Anyway, the lyrics remind me of this post... "I feel invincible... with my heeeeeeadphones on..."
ReplyDeleteTotally hear you about the hallways and bus ride home... my high school was not full of, um, crack babies, as you said, but I still hated those parts also and wore my big old headphones for the bus and walk home. That last graphic is pretty awesome, also.
