Music

Honestly, until now I never really understood what people meant when they talked about music being so moving, helping them get over things, and overall meaning so much to them. Don't get me wrong, I always loved listening to music. But it was never something where a song completely changed me or helped me. It was just... a song.
It wasn't one song that changed my view, but simply a time in my life and experiences I had, that made me suddenly realize that I was on pandora constantly. As I listen to the joyous techno opening of Owl City's "On the wing" It's kind of a haunting feeling. While the music begs to be lighthearted, It's like one of those horror movies where the disneyland ride has been taken over, and is childishly creepy. Something about that song though is so addicting. Everytime I hear it I start to feel like my blood is pumping, And this is only one song. Over the last few months I've rotated through umpteen songs that have made me feel like this, and some of them are so random! I wouldn't say that the Barenaked Ladies "Pinch Me" is my kind of music. But something about that melancholy, lazy afternoon song gets me everytime. Another one: one of my favorite youtube musicians "ChesterSee" got together with my favorite American Idol castoff Andrew Garcia, and they wrote a song called girl of my dreams. Just Youtube search Andrew Garcia Girl of my dreams, and if you agree with me that they both have raw talent and amazing writing skills, then you agree that they should be on the radio.
Everyone has their song, like my two friends L and E who have recently bonded over greenday. By no means do I consider either of them "Greenday type people" but I do know that these songs to them are like On the wing to me. There is really something therapeutic about music though. I understand now completely what those people meant. And I would love to hear about your favorite songs to, because I know you have some. I did, even before I realized it.
