Music is My Radar

I’m not an especially musical person. As a kid, I had spent years learning and playing the piano, unfortunately, nothing stuck and it is as if I never handled the piano all my life. I am not hopeless, though. I can carry a decent tune outside of the shower and the confines of my car, or well at least I think so. But regardless whether I can play an instrument or none, carry a tune or not, music has been and is always an important part in my life.

I’ve never limited myself to one genre and I’m always open to discovering new ones, although rock seems to be the one genre that I’ve always had an affinity towards. And modesty aside, I do have great taste in music, and not just a few would agree. I even thought at one point that I can’t date someone who has bad taste in music, or at least who didn’t share my enthusiasm for it, but as I have recently found out, I’ve broken yet another of my rules. But that’s for another story, and I digress.

My taste in music has even went as far as infecting the people around when in fact, a good friend of mine whose life was one endless series of (perceived) dramatic events have been daydreaming of adapting her life to a screenplay, and jokingly told me that I would be the one to provide the soundtrack to it. And that is precisely what music is to me, a soundtrack to my life, and sometimes to other people’s lives. As cliché as it may sounds, I have probably created countless playlists to correspond to every significant event in my life and even the most mundane of my moods.

So it doesn’t really come as any surprise that I’ve managed to create yet another to provide the soundtrack for the events that have transpired just a few days ago, and hopefully provide a catharsis I need so badly right now. Maybe if I listen these songs long enough and hard enough, I might also be able to get him out of my system for good.

These songs are nothing new, and you may or may not like it, but I’m posting it here just the same. After all, this is my blog and you're just reading it. ;)
