“And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how
many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And
how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those
songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of
those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope
the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's
enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one
person.”
- Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Day 13. My goodness.. there's so much to be thankful for that I could go well beyond 30 days. I may just do that. But, today, I'm thankful for music. I'm thankful that God blessed me with ears to hear, and a mind to comprehend the complexities that are encompassed in the world of music.
I pretty much love all genres... with the exception of Country. I'm sorry. I know that a lot of you will stop reading this blog going forward. Granted, I like a few songs by a few artists, but songs about pickup trucks and tractors aren't my thing. Oh yeah, and Jazz. I don't like jazz. At all.
A Capella - a genre that's rarely even given a second thought. Do you even realize how MUCH goes in to this style of music? No instruments to cover up your mistakes. Your voice IS your instrument. I think this shows one of the truest forms of musical talent.
Rap. Alternative. Classical. Choral. Chamber Music. Orchestra. Bluegrass (I know, I know... how can you like Bluegrass and not country? Well, I do. So there. *sticks out tongue*). Americana. Easy Listening. Hip/Hop. Indie. Inspirational. Southern Gospel. Contemporary Christian. Worship. Gospel. R&B. Rock. Alternative Folk. Singer/Songwriter.
