Ninety-Three
New skin again. I actually made a new one yesterday, but I didn't put it on because it just didn't feel like me (i'm tempted to put in some joke that uses the word 'boomz', but honestly, that thing is alrealdy so old. it annoys, rather.) So I decided to make a different one today. It's about the only thing that happily preoccupies me on the computer, really. That, and scouring the internet for new songs.
I love finding new songs. Whenever I find one that I really really like, I always feel like 'wow. how come i've never heard this before?'. I'd marvel at how amazing it is, and how it's been existing all this while without my realizing it. It makes me think, 'the things i don't know'.
Yes, I admit it: I take music very seriously. I think we all should. Music is an extension of our souls, right? It transcends barriers. For me, when I enjoy or fall in love with a song, I love it completely - not just the voice of the person or the beat of the song, but the lyrics and sound of it too. This is why it's so hard for me to delete songs - because there will always be something about it that I really love. I can't be singing along to one song one day and then chucking it the next.
This is also why I'm not into mainstream songs. I can't really connect with them. They can be nice on the ear, sometimes, but that's about it. I don't
feel anything, which is very very important, because that's what music should do to you. In fact, I'm actually kind of disappointed (and by that I really mean 'kinda sorta pissed') that people I know listen to what I feel is not so good (deep deep in my heart I mean 'crap', but I want to be open-minded) music on the radio. Especially people close to me, like my sisters. I wish they knew what was out there! Still, my sister tells me that my taste in music is boring, so I understand and I accept - to each his own.
