The Music!


Today was a pretty chilled back day. I was basically just relaxing and listening to some music. In the past couple of years, music has become a big part of my life. On my free time, I just listen to it, sing it, research it, and write lyrics. The sound of music just relaxes me and gets me thinking about different things. The kind of music that I like to music is mostly rock music from the 60's to the 80's. Im not really a big fan of the modern rock. Especially the fast, screaming stuff. I remember back in middle school, I was into the rap and not really into rock, but that changed. On the first day of 9th grade, I remember when I went on the bus and took a seat and I started listening to the music that was playing. I was introduced to rock! I dont remember what song it was but its kind of funny that a my bus ride got me into rock. When I look for good music, I look for meaningful lyrics with good melody. You can kind of get the taste of my music with it playing right here on the blog. If you dont like it, its cool, just turn it down or off. If you like it, sweet listen on man! Everybody has there own opinion and its excepted. My all time favorite artist is John Lennon, after and when he was with the Beatles. My all time favorite song is Imagine when he was solo. Its a peaceful song with a meaningful lyrics. My favorite Beatle song of his was Across The Universe. This song is slow and it flows along. I like how he adds the words "Jai guru deva om" which in mantra means "hail to the divine guru". You can hear it down below if you want. Its pretty sweet. Then I like music in the 70's including Boston, Styx, Kansas, Floyd. Then the 80's with kickass Van Halen, incredible music! The Final Countdown by Europe is one of my alltime favorites. And way more! So, I like alot of rock and music! Any music that you enjoy, look up the lyrics if you dont know them and find the real meaning of the song!

Haha, yeah. Cops do need to chill out but then again, almost everyone could use some chilling out. Back to your post though!

The Beatles were, and always be one of the greatest musicians of all time. My favorite is either Eleanor Rigby' or 'A Hard Day's Night.'

As for Lennon's stuff, you really can't beat 'Working Class Hero.'

I totally agree with the whole rock thing. It has completely changed the way I think of music. The lyrics and the meaning are definitely the most important part of a song. Check out my post on music. I'm listening to "Imagine" now and it's really good and it speaks...most songs now are written by writers and not the artist which doesn't mean as much. Anyway love the post!!!
