My Music
Music is practically my entire life. listening to it, playing it, it completes me. To my parent's annoyance, music is always blaring out from my speakers. I should further explain, I do not like bubble gum pop. No, my music is more hard, gritty. I love indie and alternative music, completely un muted, the bass pumping in the background, hearing the slide of the guitar player's fingers as he shifts chords. I love the singers raw voice, completely unaltered.
I don't really understand why my friends put up with my music addiction.I mean, if I was the,m., I would probably go crazy. If you have a conversation with me, I will probably quote some song at least twice. It can really weird people out, especially if they don't know I'm quoting a song.
( Example:
Friend 1:So , I was thinking that we could hang out in my basement, and like, watch a movie. Is that okay?
Friend 2:yeah, sounds good.
Me:"To the basement people! To the basement! Many surprises await you!" ( Undercover Martyn, by the Two Door Cinema Club.)
Friend 1: Oooooookayyyyyyyy. Well then….)
As you can see, it can be a problem. But besides that, I also talk about music constantly. That wouldn't be a problem if my band of choice was, per say, One Direction, but because I like about a million different obscure indie bands, my friends get lost sometimes when I talk about people in bands.
(Example:
Me:Oh my gosh! Isn't Mikel Jollett so cool? He's been through so much, and he's so good!
Friend:Oh yeah, I love Passion Pit!
Me: ( goes a little bit crazy) What are you talking about?!?!?Mikel Jollett is from the Airborne Toxic Event. You're thinking of Michael Angelakos. What's wrong with you?!? They're completely different genres!
Friend: (goes and cries in corner.) I'm sorry! Some of us have lives!)
So, as you can see, I am completely hooked on music. My entire life revolves around it ( yeah, I forgot to mention, I play bass, for at least an hour and a half every day, and I also play guitar.)So just, a full disclaimer, I am a little bit crazy about it. I always have it on. I talk about it constantly, and very weirdly quote songs randomly.I will also , quite possibly, make you so many mix tapes that you start to regift them.You might hate me, because all that I do in my free time is music, but I'm sorry! I can't help it.
