An entry I found unpublished from over a year ago. It's not terrible. I shall publish.
Lucky you.
I played about 4 different instruments when I was younger, I sucked at all of them and stuck to none of them.
I wish I had stuck with the violin.
That shit's cool.
How hipster would I be. With my alternative look and PLAYING THE VIOLIN.
I think I would need to wear more hats.
Music is an essential part of my life, despite my inability to make it.
If I have nothing but music, I am ok.
I managed to delete my entire music collection a few weeks ago (shut up I don't want to talk about it)
I almost cried.
I am slowly rebuilding my collection.
I am rediscovering old memories, and making new ones.
Music pinpoints times in my life.
It reminds me of heartbreak, happiness, hurt.
Pick a song on my iPod (maybe before I deleted everything...)and I can probably associate a time in my life with it.
Or a person.
I love songs that I associate with people.
Be it good or bad.
I love the nostalgia attached to music.
Rilo Kiley, Owl City, Deftones, Slipknot, Passion Pit, MGMT, Marilyn Manson, Ellie Goulding, Pink Floyd, Gene Pitney, Less Than Jake, Brand New, The Beatles.
All music I can associate with a time and/or person...
Rilo is graveyards and molboro lights and a secret that changed my life.
Owl City was long drives and desires that weren't reachable
Deftones is staple. Deftones is the discovery of someone who would complete my life. I'm your Passenger.
Passion Pit is my beloved boys, dancing on the deck, being so entwined in the music we could burst.
Slipknot was the soundtrack for my teenage years. I was emo before it was cool. The kids at school called me a goth and a freak...With fair right, I wore a dog collar and a trench coat. Lovely.
Gene Pitney, my siblings will tell you, that's Dad.
The Beatles... My Penny Lane.
This is just a teeny tiny fraction.
I learnt to play the guitar because I thought it would help me score. Karma kicked me in the plums though when I met an extremely hot school girl at a party once who also played guitar and well, I was told.
ReplyDelete"So" I said, several minutes into the best introduction convo I've ever had with an attractive girl "We should jam some time".
"Yeah" she said with a sigh "That's what they all say" and away she walked. The sexy bitch.
For a long time afterwards I thought it was a young Brooke Fraser but this particular goddess went to Slut Valley High, that much I remember. Brooke was Naenae Massive, like me.
Love your way Freckles, keep postin.
