Music: Let Me Tell You

Via Weheartit

Alright, so let's start this one by saying music. I don't really know what you're thinking now, but I want to tell you that music has changed my life. (Yes for the better).

Let me give you an overview of my life in music, I've played the piano since I've been about 9, maybe 8, and I've always loved it. My favourite style of music to play has always been semi-classical, you know the really emotional stuff that makes you feel something. I always used piano to funnel whatever I was feeling out of me. I mean most people talk about it or something but I just used it as emotions to my music. Seriously if you ever get the chance to learn music, piano, flute, singing, even just a few chords on guitar do it. I'm not kidding. You're music is always there for you especially if you can create it.

When I was 12 I started my life long dream of learning the flute, but then my teacher stopped teaching and I was pretty sad, so that was the end to my flute days.

Now I know this is going to shock some people, but I only started listening to music when I was around 14. Man, I have come a long way. I first used it as a backing, helping me to think while I wrote stories and stuff. Then, I fell in love. I never will go back.

I think like most people I started with a taste that I don't like anymore, (lots of people would call it a terrible taste, but hey if that's what you listen to I'm not judging) sort of Kelly Clarkson and Taylor Swift. Then I got into The Fray and I do not stop thanking the day I found them. Since then I apparently slot into "alternative" music. Generally somewhere on the border of pop and rock, but really it varies a lot with whatever my mood is.

Now I'm 16 years old, I don't spend a day without listening to music and I literally take my head phones everywhere. I'm still learning the piano, now also learning to sing and am teaching myself ukulele. A guitar that my uncle lent me sits in the corner of my room, but it's too hard to learn ukulele and guitar at the same time, so I picked the easiest one. (That would be ukulele in case you really don't know that much about instruments).

Now, my friends introduced me to 5 Seconds of Summer (I hear many of you groan, but hang on and hear me out), which I really do love. However, it's generally when I'm in the mood for some high energy music that I want to dance to. I'm not really going to bother telling you that you should love them, because you don't have to, (the same goes for the rest my of music to) but just because you don't love them doesn't mean that I should be sighed at for liking them. OK, so now we can go on without judgement.

But I believe that music makes your life better. And everyone likes their own special style and don't judge them on that. Also, be tolerant of someone else's music. Don't be listening to music and then exclaim "what is this shit?" because even I'm a pretty confident person and that would pretty much demolish whatever confidence I had with my music. (That's one of the main reasons that I don't share my music a whole lot).

Anyway, although sharing my music scares me a lot I thought that every once in a while I post my top 5 or 10 most listened to songs for you guys to enjoy. I always find it hard to find new music (which is why a really like Spotify, it's radio is great and I like the way it's always suggesting new songs) and so I thought this would be useful for anyone who shares my taste in music, or anyone who wonders what on earth other people listen to. I'll try and put a bit of a range, but I mainly steer clear of screamo and rap (sorry about that, it scares me).
