Wrapping Up: Music Makes Me Smile

If you had to listen to everything I listened to you would probably go crazy because of the amount I replay the songs that I’m loving in the moment. I've determined over the years that I'm very obsessive when it comes to music. If I stumble across something that hits me in the right way I can't help, but listen to it over and over again until I’m sick of it.

I’ll find a band or artist that I haven’t listened to in a while start listening and get stuck on listening to only that for the next two to four weeks or until I get burned out on it. Doing school, in the car, on a break, at home, or cleaning I will either have this song playing out loud or at least in my head. This doesn’t happen often--probably because my favorite music changes constantly-- but I get super happy when it does. I have a very sensitive musical ear; it takes just the right tone, talent, and style to get me obsessed with that song or artist. If a note and timing isn’t quite right I will not be thrilled with it. Also, if I am playing or singing and something isn’t sounding quite right I would rather not play or sing if it is not meeting the sound quality that I’m looking for. I can’t help when music makes me smile, and it’s so hard to explain why. I hear something great that makes my ear listen harder and a smile creep up on my face that I can’t control at all. It’s rare when something impresses me, but when it does I’m filled with joy!

 Music makes me smile.... I can't help it, can’t explain it, but I love it!  As Lawrence Welk would say, “Keep a song in your heart!”
