Music

So, I got bored of posting my emotional explosions and outbursts. So I decided to talk about what I am most passionate about, music. Ever since I was young I related to music a lot to help me abandon this routinely world. I started taking guitar lessons at an early age when I moved with my mom and sister to Boston. All I wanted was an electric guitar. After that as I got back to Venezuela I starting taking singing and drum lessons, and singing and piano lessons in Valencia. However, as I was just a kid it did not take long for me to abandon all of these classes. I was never one to receive orders from anyone, it is not much of my thing. So I just meandered into the sea of bands out there for us to listen. Once you start listening to your first "favorite band" (Over the years I have learnt there is no such thing as "a" favorite band) your life gets channeled into this new perspective of life. From that point on, you will never be the same child you used to be. Earphones become the spaceship that rockets you into a different planet, and all of the sudden, you are not really missing home. The thing is that at this point you are just so ignorant of all there is out there. There is nothing like discovering an amazing underground band and just immersing into it like scuba divers in the great barrier of reef. Another world really. And, as you discover one heaps more just keep coming. Suddenly you find yourself with so much songs in your computer you would not even have time to listen to them all unless you kept your ipod running 24/7. But how can you get rid of a band from your library? You never know when you will stumble upon it and fall into it's canvas. That is my theory anyway. Some people do not understand what music is really about. Perhaps I am just stubborn when it comes to this subject, perhaps I'm not. But good music is not about stupid melodies that get stuck in your head or a beat that regardless of their obnoxious pervy lyrics get you swinging, because honestly, dancing as if you're having sex with clothes on with any guy that steps in front of you is not exactly my idea of flattering. To me, music is the combination of different tunes, notes and chords which creates an outlet of people's minds. But hey, do not get me wrong, it is not a matter of life and death it is so much more than that. The thing is there aren't words for me to explain it.

Music.

Music is the key to life. At least for me.
