Music is My...

           I was recently listening a song by CSS that talks about what music means to her.  Music is her boyfriend, it's her girlfriend, her brother, sister, hometown, beach house, queen size bed, hot bath, etc.  I couldn't help but laugh at what a stupid song it was, but it did get me thinking about what music means to me.  Music is my absolute passion, and has been since I was just a little girl.  If you know me, you know that I'm not just an ordinary music listener, I go crazy for it!  I'll stop any conversation if a good song comes on,  a guy that listens to good music is 10 times more attractive to me, and I'm constantly trying to discover new bands and get new music.  I consider myself a very eclectic music listener and love just about any type of music excluding techno and screamo- barf!  My latest fav has to be indie but I'm always open to a bit of everything.  I often update my blog with songs I have been, or am currently in love with! I decided to follow in CSS's footsteps and I came up with a list of why music is must important to me along with a few of my favorite bands.  Here goes:
                                        - music puts me to sleep when I'm wide awake

                                        - it helps me stay awake when I need to be

                                        - calms me when I'm angry or upset

The Beatles

                                        - opens my tear chambers when I've gone too long without a good cry

                                        - allows me to cope with a sucky break up

                                        - helps me to love with my whole heart

Kate Nash

                                      - brings back childhood memories

                                      - helps me feel cool cruisin in my car with the windows rolled down.
                                   
                                      - relieves boredom

Band of Horses

                                      - makes road trips a friggen blast

                                      - allows me to dance my little heart out

Noah and the Whale

                                      - helps me to feel all warm and fuzzy in church

                                      - reminds me of people from my past

Neautral Milk Hotel

                                    - motivates me to run faster

                                    - completes movies (makes the funny ones funnier, scary ones scarier)

                                    - allows me to forget that I have a care in the world

Mason Jennings

                                    - brings me and my siblings closer

                                    - provides entertainment when I'm in the bathroom for more than 2 minutes

                                    - is so stinkin fun at the pool or on a boating trip


I could go on and on all day about why I love music so much but, my main point is, music can make just about anything and everything better!
