“One good thing about music, when it hits- you feel no pain”

Anyone that knows me, can tell you that I LOVE music - always have. I can't even get in a car - without calling "dibs" on the radio. There's just something about music, its my drug. Music can play on so many emotions - from laughing to crying; and I think its partly due to the fact it triggers certain memories. Music is like a scrapbook, when any song comes on the radio -- you can't help but remember a time in your life when that song played. Whether it be driving in the car with your closest friends, a first kiss, a dance, an argument, or even a time when you had to say goodbye..music can take you back, without having to look at a single picture.

To me, music is soothing. When times are tough, there is nothing I want more than to get in my car, roll down the windows and blast the radio. Even though I have a special love for hip hop (I'm ghetto, I know) some of my favorite nights include going to the piano bar and belting out jams by Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and Journey. Who doesn't know the lyrics to 'Living On A Prayer,' or at least the chorus? When you look around a piano bar, people are randomly grouped together laughing, smiling, cheering and (drunkingly) singing at the top of their lungs. Inhibitions are left at the door. No one is ashamed of their voice, no one is holding back, its people coming together to enjoy good music. All because songs can do that to you. Out of all the experiences in life, the ones that leave an impression with us, are the ones that we continue to hold on to throughout the years; some just happen to be attached to a song.
