Music with Feelings

LALALALALALA

Ok, so that's not really music, but if sung on key, you know some famous dumby would try and sell it.

Music is my escape from the world. I get to tune out the world around me and listen to other people's thoughts, emotions, and beats. When something is wrong and I don't want to think about it any more, I'll get out my journal and write about it while listening to my ipod. The background words and noise turns my emotion dial and the words just spill on the page.

I've been around music my whole life. In elementary school I played the recorder, guitar, keyboard, and the violin. Now I just play the flute, almost 7 years and still counting. I play in the Kirkwood band that practices once a week and I really like it. Sure, the practices are sooooooo long, but most of the music is enjoyable to play, and I'm 3rd chair. I had to miss my last concert, and almost one last year because I've been really sick, but I still battle my way through it. I'm hoping for a scholarship to Kirkwood for my flute, and I'm a good candidate because I've played with them since my freshman year, but no promises.

Currently I'm listening to Leona Lewis. I really like her music. She has an amazing voice and she seems to sing from her heart. She's a fairly new artist but her hit "Bleeding Love" soared on the charts and I know there's more to come from her. She's pretty, talented, and seems lovable and caring. Her songs are sung about heart breaks and with deep emotion, those are my favorite kinds. I hate when singers/rappers sing about absolutely nothing and make millions off of it. I don't like listening to nothing with a background beat, I like listening to feelings with a beat.
