Sometimes music plays a huge role in my life. I remember times through late high school and into college that I am honestly not sure what I would've done without my CD player. I remember laying in my bed listening to CD after CD. Sometimes escaping my problems, other times working through them with the help of the artist and the lyrics. Often times I realized how small my problems were in comparison, other times I finally felt validated by a particular song. I used to fall asleep with music playing. I have gone through so many phases in my musical choices it's not even funny! Growing up I remember listening to a lot of country music. I think my dad liked it. When I started dating my first boyfriend I began to listen to a lot of Christian (DC Talk, etc.) and Jazz (Louis Armstrong...). When I started dating Lincoln is shifted to Rap (Nelly...) and more "alternative" music (like Dashboard Confessional...). When I finally decided to listen to who I really was, I find that I love artists like Whitney Houston, Martina McBride, FFH, Rascal Flatts, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, etc. The lyrics are way more important than the artist for me though. Lincoln can hear a song once and know the lyrics...I can hear a song once and know the tune, but am far from learning the lyrics.
When I had Hunter I found that I didn't have the time (or make the time anymore) to listen to music, but lately I have re-kindled the love and am finding myself drawn to new music and new lyrics. I hope they continue to transform me like the used to.
