Music

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gaiety and life to everything. It is the essence of order and lends itself to all that is good and just and beautiful." - Plato


That pretty much describes my feelings about music. I honestly couldn't live without my tunes. I wake up to it, I get dressed with it, I work with it on, I drive with it on, I wind down with it and I listen to it before going to bed. It makes the otherwise boring task more enjoyable. It is very difficult for me to describe all my feelings for music. I love the way an amazing song makes me feel inside and the power it can have over me. There is really nothing quite like it. I love all types of music, seriously everything from rap to opera. I don't really care much for country or heavy metal. However I can appreciate all types of music and this is what makes me such a well rounded music fan. For the long flight to Jamaica tomorrow I have prepared an amazing playlist of my 90 current favorite songs. I hope that this list will encourage you to check these songs out and then ask me to burn you a CD with them on it, cause you know I enjoy doing that! : )

  1. Wow, that is quite the list! When I have more time, I am going to go through it and check it against my iTunes and what I don't have, I'll let you know. :)

    I also love the quote. That's how I feel about music too: http://lettersforlucas.blogspot.com/2009/10/my-ipod-has-schizophrenia.html

  2. 90 fav's?! I'm liking it so far. And I love that 'Anyone else but you' song! I first heard it like 4 years ago, but not much since. I like the original version by The Moldy Peaches tho. I'm sure you've already heard it, but if not, check it out.
