My First Love..

Embarrassing story time...

As a youngin,
I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house.
She had a huge hill in her backyard,
and at the top of it where more homes in her development.
I used to go to the top of that hill,
and sing my heart out
pretending that I was someone famous
and down below me was a sea of people,
there to hear me sing to them..
The neighbors at the top of the hill used to love to hear me sing,
they'd ask me to sing certain songs
and bring me cookies,
saying they'd always be a fan of mine
and that I'd make it one day..

As time went on and I grew older,
I gave up that passion for singing
(for many reasons)
but my love of music has stayed the same.
No matter what you're feeling,
or what situation you're going through,
there's a song to match it.
Someone else has felt as you have..
and instantly, you feel a connection,
not only with that artist,
but because you no longer feel alone in whatever you're going thru
during that time in your life.

The power of music is strong.
It can change your whole mood,
from good to bad,
or from bad to good.
It can excite you,
motivate you,
make you think,
make you angry,
make you want to dance,
make you want you to love,
or be loved,
Or make you want to hate
or to just wallow in sadness.

My life would be nothing without music.
It has always been my 1st love.
It has been there with me
through all the times in my life,
gotten me thru some of the best,
and the worst
situations.
Without it,
I wouldnt be who I am,
and I'm sure that you wouldnt either.

Life is nothing without music.
A life without it is empty
beyond measure.
Life is meant to be lived.
You are meant to love...
And to dance.
Music is the soundtrack to all of that,
and I am more than grateful
to have it in my life.
