~:[CH8 - Day 307]:~ Music & Me

I was raised with music coming through my ears. When I was young, I would hear the songs of KOST103FM playing through the radio as my mom cleaned the house, I listened to hard core rap because of my brother, moved more to R&B and Hip Hop, got accustomed to classical, ventured into the boy band era to EDM and even international music including Kpop. It's always been a part of me and as I see my parents helping to take care of Jordan, I realized how much music was woven into my fabric, as they play records that I'm sure I listened to when I was  young. It's strange because at all parts of the day and in any given situation, music runs through me. With such an eclectic upbringing, there seems to be a song for every mood, which I like. Today was a day where it was me and the music. A few songs from the past, but mostly songs from the band of one of my former students, Day6. I got this in the mail this week and I laughed a bit as I opened this. Why would I have this? Regardless, it was a funny thing to receive and something I can put away into my box of treasures. The discs will go along with the many others I have collected over the year, but as while I haven't played a cassette tape in decades or placed a needle on any record recently, I could imagine a world where it was just music and me. Music has a funny way of taking you away and I allowed myself to enjoy that feeling on one of these rare days off. I'll pop in Entropy and listen to it over and over, soaking it all in, adding to the foundation that has been build all throughout my life. Open your ears and hear all the beautiful music around you, as it will find a way to take you away and leave you in a place you never could have imagined, whether real or imaginary.
