Music

Music is one of those things. One of those things where it's just like, all I have. I'm addicted to it. Just as someone becomes addicted to various substances, I am addicted to music. I have a physical and psychological dependence. I need it constantly pumping through my system. I couldn't go a day without hearing and making music. And no can stop me from doing that. My parents have taken away my iPod many many times. And guess who can still sing the guitar part to Seven Nation Army at the top of her lungs while banging her fist on the kitchen table to represent the bass drum?

The only one could technically stop me from making music is by chopping off all my arms and legs and ripping out my vocal chords. And even then, I could still blink the beat.

Right now I am listening to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. What a great song. I encourage you, reader to listen to that song right now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg&ob=av3e. Dave Grohl rocks hard. I like how Kurt's guitar solo is an echo of what he sings earlier in the song.
I couldn't say what my favorite band or song of all time is. Possibly Black Dog by Led Zeppelin. Or something by The White Stripes. Jack White is basically a wizard. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OA8TPV3AD0Y&feature=related

Music is so cool. But also, it can be pretty sucky. Like really vulgar and crude music just ruins all my happiness. I'd have to say my favorite song ever is probably "Christmas Canon" performed by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I've also been listening to "Where is My Mind" from the movie "It's kind of a funny story." Amazing song. I've listened to it many, many times. Music cheers me up when I need it to, and it also gives me something to mourn to, as well. When I'm really sad...turn up the piano classics. When I'm happy....turn up the piano classics, and other songs I like to jam out to like "Lights" by Ellie Goulding and "I Smile" by Kirk Franklin and "Safety Dance" by Men without Hats, and the last one...Glee's mashup of Survivor and I will Survive. AMAZING. I love the music that makes me want to take a nap, get up and shake my bootay (Chunky from Into the Wild), or music that makes me really pumped up, like Eminem's raps. Pretty cool stuff. I also love the song "Nearer my God to Thee." I used to be able to play it on the violin. I wish I was really good at the piano and violin.
