For the Love of Music

Like many others, music plays an incredible role in my life.
It's been there during the lowest points in my life, picking me back up and holding me together in ways I could never imagine.
Music has been my escape, my remedy, and overall the biggest constant in my life. (Secondary to coffee, of course.)

There's something magical when you feel music. You read that right, I said feel. There are rare occasions when I find myself, feeling the music, not just listening to it. It's hard to explain, but I'll do my best.

First and foremost, I want to make it clear that I am in no way a musician. My only musical interaction was five years of playing the violin, and looking back now I'm realizing I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have. Singing is something I've always loved to do, but I'll leave that up to those lucky individuals with talent and stick to singing loudly in my car.

Having a career in music isn't an easy one, but it's one that I'm fighting to have. I'm not talking about making, or writing music, per say, but the music industry is definitely something I'm looking into, and with post-graduation plans always coming into conversation, I think it's in my best interest to start figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. (So, no pressure or anything.) With a major in Communications, I’ve strategically made sure to cover all my bases, as my major and minors cover Journalism, Public Relations AND Advertising. The big dream is to be the one that picks the music for movie soundtracks, while the more realistic dream is to work in TV or Radio, but hey, I’ve still got a solid eight months to panic.

I've always considered my musical taste to be extremely diverse, and this blog is going to follow my journey exploring music. I'll be exploring new music I come across, talking about current Billboard hits (and possible complaining that mainstream radio does a marvelous job on overplaying songs to the point I never want to hear them again),  rambling on over my personal favorite bands or songs, and even taking suggestions on songs and artists I should try listening to.

Stay tuned!

XOXO.
