When You Know The Words…Sing Along
I can’t imagine my life without music. No more melodies gently coaxing me to sleep. No more dancing around my kitchen, iPod in hand, oblivious to the world. No more interrupting poker nights and band gigs with my Beyonce impersonation. No more driving around singing along to “Golddigger” with my best friend. Music is my punctuation, my bandaid, my vice. I would be permanently attached to my headphones if it wasn’t socially unacceptable to never look like I’m listening.
Music plays so many different roles in our lives. We use it in the moments when words escape us, we find solace in the songs we relate to, we use it to change our moods, pump us up, calm us down. The world would be a very quiet place without music. But since we have more music than I know what to do with……
