My Music World

When I listen to slow or softer music I feel peaceful and at ease.  I can usually think best when I listen to slower music.  I get irritated and annoyed with people pretty easily on some days but when I listen to music I tend to be more patient and calm.  When I'm in a good mood I tend to listen to faster music.  The kind that makes you want to dance.  I also associate some music with different seasons.  One of my all time favorite bands is The Maine and I remember when I was first introduced to their music about 2 years ago.  It was in the summer when I first heard them so I associate their music with summer and hot weather.  When I listen to John Mayer, another one of my favorite artists, it reminds me of autumn because when I lived in Utah my family and I would go camping in the mountains with our little camper and for that entire week all the music we would hear would be by John Mayer.  My dad and I both loved his music.  Jack Johnson's music is so peaceful it just reminds me of the warmth of my room in the middle of the winter.  And the freshness of spring reminds me of Jayme Dee's music because it's so upbeat and cheerful.  I connect music to so many different events and places.  The song Chicken Fried by Zac Brown Band reminds me of my Uncle.  At his funeral my dad put together a memory video with lots of different pictures and he put that song and Toes as the background music.  When I hear the song Skater Boy by Avril Lavigne I remember when I was a little girl just moving to Utah and meeting a boy that just so happened to be a skater.  I would listen to that song on repeat and just imagine what it must be like to have a boyfriend.  My friends taste in music has not always been the same as mine.  I've very rarely found someone who likes to listen to The Maine as much as I do and John Mayer.  I don't have one friend that likes another.  They are all very different and have very different tastes.  I like it that way though.  I like a variety of music, listening to the same things day in day out would get boring and bland.  Without music in the world there wouldn't be any sense of direction or flow... no differences and nothing worth listening to.  Everyone has their own style and taste.  Everyone is different in one way or another.  They all like different music and that's because they connect with different things.  All music should be tolerated even though you personally don't like it.  It's there because someone else does.
