Music Sooths

I've been listening to a lot of music lately.  I love music and it's always been a huge part of my life.  I was dancing shortly after I learned to walk, so from an early age I was exposed to music in a way that not everyone is.  I learned to play the flute (not for me), the drums (loved 'em, hated the people I had to deal with to play), and the piano (my favorite).  I sang in the choir for a while before realizing that everyone would be better off it I spent my time doing something else.  I have a special talent for sight reading music.  I can read music and play it on the piano without too much trouble.  It may take me a while to get up to speed, but the first time I'd run through the piece wasn't as bad as it could have been.

With things feeling like they're a bit unstable at the moment, my poor i.Pod has been getting a serious work out.  I've been listening to all sort of music lately.  I've been working on branching out from my normal genre and seeing what else is out there.  I've grown to enjoy other genres lately and I've enjoyed getting to know other kinds of music.

I've become a huge L.ady G.aga.  I've been listening to her music a lot lately.  The melodies are catchy and I love some of the lyrics.  I think that some of her songs have a fantastic message and I listen to my favorites when I'm feeling particularly blue.

I've also been listening to a lot of music that's on my i.Pod from when I was younger.  I have "middle school" music on my i.Pod and I've been taking a trip down memory lane a lot lately.  It's funny because back then those songs were everything to me.  Now while they still bring a smile to my face, I don't feel compelled to play them over and over again like I did back then.

What's on your playlist these days?
