Music...

this post is all about music. why is music so addicting? music is such a staple in my life...i really can't imagine life w/out it. it's amazing how a tune can take you back in time...even make you smell a scent from wherever you were when you made the memory. some musical memories for me are things like...when i hear MOBY i think of when i was pregnant w/ tristan..i used to put the headphones on my belly and let him listen...i swear to god he LOVES moby...i don't know if it is just cooincidence? another memory is of DAVE MATTHEW and me and dh at the beach splashing in the waves, in love, making memories. so many songs that i hear remind me of when i was a kid...like TEARS FOR FEARS...it reminds me of being at the park...i must've been singing it or something because every time i hear the song it takes me back to that very moment. i can remember the feeling of swinging high w/ my sister beside me. to me, that is just amazing that music can do that!!!! isn't it?? it's just music...how can it have that big of an effect on the mind?? for me, most musical memories are good ones. i don't have too many that aren't so great...but there are a few that remind me of ex lovers, or bad times in my life.

all in all i would have to say that i think i would shrivel up and die without music. that said...i'm gonna go charge up my mp3 player so i don't have to die. LMAO
