Not sure how many of you that read my blogs actually pay attention to the music that is in my stash. I know sometimes I just go through and rate unless something really catches my eye.
Anyway, If you do pay attention, you'll notice that I have a very wide variety of music stashed. At times, I just get in these moods where I start to remember songs from years ago that may have gotten me through a time in my life and I'll scurry over to "You Tube" to see if they have it, then I have the urge to stash it so I have it close by.
Tonight wasn't the greatest of nights for me. Just had a little bump in my road that had me a little down and it led me to look for one of Bon Jovi's old songs. I guess some would take it as a love song, but that is not at all how my mind was disecting it. I think we all interpret lyrics differently. A song that may get me through losing a friend today may be the song that gets me through losing the love of my life a year down the road. Personally, I feel like it is what is on your mind and in your heart at the time you hear a particular song. Or at least that's the way it's been for me.
I often clam up with my feelings when it comes to speaking them to someone. But if you're ever around me, you can pretty much know what I'm going through by the music I listen to. It just seems that there is always that exact song that was written for every situation that each person is going through in life.
I suppose I am just here rambling now. I lost one of the best friendships I had in my life tonight. I guess there comes a time that people just grow apart. Hurts like hell, but that's the way life goes. You gain friends....you lose friends. It's all part of the cycle of life. So here I sit, feeling kind of sappy...childish, I suppose...So back to my "old school" music.
Thanks for reminiscing with me.
Maybe you have some input on how music does or doesn't help you get through things. Feel free to share it. I love reading the comments.
