Music...
GIVE ME YOUR MUSIC!!!! place your recomendations here please! :)
To everybody who loves music. Wow, i think all my art is inspired by music in some way or another and i would say vice versa but i unfortuanatly don’t write music yet…
But for me music is everything, its the first thing i hear in the morning and the last thing i hear at night. it goes evrywhere with me and every part of my life i relate to music. I have theme tunes for lifes little moments and evry time that moment happens, the song plays in my head…
Songs are also reminders of people, books, emotions, places, smells, colours that i felt and saw at the time the song was playing. The feeling that then washes over me when i hear that song again is amazing and can take me back to that moment in vivid detail (even to days when i was 5 years old!)
Indie, folk and slow rock is the best music for me though im not too genre specific, its the song for me, not the type.
these are soem of the artists i love…
