Music

If you have ever hung out or been around me, you know that I am constantly listening to music. I wake up to music, it plays while I get ready, on the way to school. In 1st and 3rd period. On the way home. Doing homework. On my way to and from the pool. While I'm taking a shower. When I'm falling asleep. I am always listening to music.

Why?? Most think it's because I cannot stand silence. Which is true-- I don't like quiet. I can't concentrate when it's quiet, my mind drifts. But that's not why I love music.

Music to me is a way to unwind, to destress, to calm down.

I love reading into lyrics. To find out what the artist is saying. Most of the time I find a certain song that connects to what is going on in my life, and I cling to that song when the going gets rough. Sometimes it seems like God puts songs into my life or on the radio as a way of saying "hey, calm down. It's going to be okay. You can do this. I love you and I will take care of you."

Music also is a way for me to express myself. When it's just me, either in the shower or driving somewhere, I love to sing the songs on KSBJ outloud, and often turn lyrics into prayers. Lyrics become my facebook status quite regularly, they seem to express myself better than my words alone can.

Music, gotta love it.

And on that note-- check out this song- Before the Morning by Josh Wilson. AMAZING lyrics!!
