Yesterday's class was very powerful and insightful for me. I reflected on the music I listen to and what music really makes me happy. At this point in my life the music that brings me the most joy is the music that is very nostalgic. Songs always have more meaning to me when they bring me back to the time that I first enjoyed them. For example the song that I thought of when I was in class was Everything is Alright by Motion City Soundtrack. I listened to this song daily with my best friend Kristen in Jr.High and High School. It just reminds me of all the fun we had and how pumped and excited about life this song made us.
When it comes to music and nostalgia I think it can have the same effect with sad songs. When I listen to songs that remind me of a time in past that was sad and lonely it can bring back those feelings as well. Music is Powerful and I honestly think it has an influence on our day to day journey.
That song was the BEST! Good memories.
