Da Do-Da Do-Do.

I don't know about you, but I am getting to the point in my school year, where I am starting to care less, because my stress level has reached it's highest, but we all know I won't actually stop trying, it't not in my nature. A good way for me to calm my nerves and reposition myself in the real world, is by putting on some good tunes, and just shutting everything out; drama, school, homework, tests and people and just concentrating on my music, because that's all there really is.

I resort to songs like Please Please Please By The Shout Out Louds, and Non Believer By La Rocca
Or I sometimes throw myself some old tunes and listen to One of us - Joan Osborne, which by the way is my favorite childhood song, and although I listen to it on a stretch of occasions, I will never forget the words to that song.


Before you read the next paragraph, turn on this song and listen to it as you read (The emotion provoked is amazing.) Song : Somebody - Bonnie McKee

It is slowly starting to hit me that this is the last year that I get to go to school with the people I love. The last year that I will ever see a lot of people I grew up with ever again (Well, Ill see them, but on a stretch of occasions, which incidentally can be compared to One of Us by Joan Osborne.) Not going to lie to you all, but it's very scary. I am going through this phase where I don't want to grow up, not even one bit because it really makes me think about how much time we are lacking on earth, the presumed 80 years is not a very long time.

And that's when I turn on my sappy songs, and think about the past, when I should indeed embrace the future, but news flash; its hard. I have decided to live my life and forget regret, only do the things that make me happy, not anyone else, and that is how I wish you all live your lives.

Take a deep breath, think about everything, and everyone and that give you a typical day dream of mine during class, or on my spare time. Life is constantly on my mind, which is why music is such a big part of my life, it grabs my attention and allows me to think outside of the box, it provokes emotion and up your thoughts.

The song about to be posted, provokes a happier emotion, and a more uplifiting feeling than the one above.
Beaut - Brooke Waggoner


Just like the song, Dancing - Elisa, is slower, and yes It does and can set off a more depressive mood, but it also makes me want to dance and become a gracious butterfly (yes, I just said that), as much as the title makes the dancing part obvious.


When I listen to Emotional Champ - New Buffalo, I feel like I've just tooken charge of myself, and I feel like getting up and doing something I wouldn't usually do. Or, I feel in charge, strong and independent.


and, Comes and Goes(In waves) - Greg Laswell, just makes me want to be a better person.


All this to say, music can help me through anything. It pushes me to be a better person for myself, my family and my close friends. It also allows me to better my emotion, and ease my thoughts. It can do the same for you, but you just need to find your songs, the ones that hit you hard and make you want to listen to them over and over again. I look at some individuals, and as they get older, they step away from the tunes, I don't think i will ever be able to do that, because music is what allows me to live. All music is precious, to me and to you. It is just a matter of figuring it out, and tightening the bolt between that of your emotion, and that of your thoughts.

Cheers all,
Chels.

Sometimes I even forget my favorite songs, but here is one that has just came to my attention, and I am in disbelief that I ever let it go...
