so one of my aims for this holiday was to learn a few more things to play on guitar. and i do believe i have succeeded. i even have a blister on the side of my thumb to prove it...
quite honestly, i would die without music. i have to listen to at least half an hour of songs a day, i mean i even need it to go to sleep, otherwise i will lie there for hours on end with nothing but dreary thoughts to occupy my mind.
some of my more well-known favourites, from this century, include songs by muse, the killers, jet, and the arctic monkeys, among others like the strokes, the script, one republic, U2, the temper trap, snow patrol, bluejuice, keane, radiohead, franz ferdinand, band of horses, carolina liar, etc etc. i listen to almost everything, with the exception of most intense screamo that would murder my ears if it could. and don't forget justin bieber. and travis mccoy. and miley cyrus, along with all those other disney-created musical tragedies.
the thing is, i like listening to music that it seems no one has ever listened to, by people that no one seems to have heard of.
but i have to say, the best music in my opinion is the old stuff. all that from the 60s, 70s, 80s, and early 90s.
i could listen to the rolling stones on repeat for hours. same goes for queen, r.e.m, the cure, and i do rather enjoy playing the beatles alllll day long on weekends.
i love sad songs. ones that make me think about the way things are, used to be, should be. if a song makes me cry, then it has to be a bloody good song. and songs that make me remember people and places i used to know, old memories. happy or sad.
of course i'd love to go on forever listing each individual song that i love, but going through my itunes top rated of 1269 songs, would take a little...while. so i guess i'll leave it at that.
