My Random thoughts about music and other various things.

So, It's Saturday and I'm bored so I thought I would write this journal entry. You see, music's my life. I know, I know, "every teenager says that". Well, It's true. I eat sleep and breathe music. My Ipod is a connection of my body. And when I'm not listening to my Ipod, I'm playing guitar. And I'm in band at school. I play flute (go ahead, make american pie jokes, I know you want to xP) Music is a kind of, escape for me. It's a way to filture out all of my emotions so I don't go completly insane and kill someone. I listen to /everything/ Country, rock, pop...there's even a few rap songs I can tolerate. When it all comes down to it, it's all music. They are all artists who, just like me, found that music is a way to get their feelings out and I respect that. If their way is screaming hate words into a mic then that's awesome. If it's by writing a song about a boy who broke their heart, then that's cool too. Music helps people in so many ways and I don't even think they realize it. I will listen to some songs because they're dancey and fun and blah blah blah, but my favorite songs, I listen to those because the lyrics speak to me. You see, I'm a poet. maybe not a very good one, but I try. and lyrics, lyrics are just poetry set to music. I love it when a song can capture exactly what I'm feeling at a specific moment. or when a song can tell the most beautiful story. I tried my hand at songwriting, I'm definitly not the best. I've written a couple, but I think poetry is my strong suit. It's funny, I think poets see the world differently then other people. Everything becomes a metaphor or a symbol for something else. Everything has a different meaning behind it. We tend to question everything. I believe that other people just take the world as they see it, but we, we ask why. I write about anything and everything. I used to only use poetry as a way to get my feelings out, but then, I liked it so much, I started writing about other things. Now, I write on a regular basis. It's fun. I love the way words can flow together. Poetry and music. The loves of my life. Okay, I'll stop rambling now :)
