Music

I love music! I wouldn’t call myself a fanatic or anything like that. As I am sitting here alone in my room twisted sisters “We’re Not Going to Take It” is playing on my youtube channel. With technology it is so easy to access music from decades ago and pull it up within seconds without even paying a dime to hear it. I love it! I have gained an appreciation for music in my twenty something years of existence. I do not have a favorite genre. Depending on what type of mood I am in determine what is playing in the background. My best friend tells me she can tell what type of mood I am in based on what is playing through my speakers. I would say that most of the time she is pretty accurate too. For example if I am in an upbeat get up and go do something type of mood, you will hear anything from The Beatles to John Mellencamp to Taio Cruz, Fun, and T. Swift blaring through my speakers. If I am in a reminiscent mood, you will hear a lot of 90’s and early 2000’s music playing through like music from The Goo Goo Dolls, Bon Jovi, REM, Shaina Twain, Backstreet Boys, Destiny’s Child, and Matchbox Twenty just to name a few. I don’t know how to describe the feeling for this next category. When it hits me I just call it my 80’s feeling. A lot of Cher, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, Twisted Sisters, and Queen plays during those times. When I am down or stuck in a funk I play a lot of what my best friend likes to call “teenage angst” songs. You will typically hear a lot of Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, and Matchbox Twenty. For the final mood category I will mention in this post, I am dedicating it to my favorite female artist. I guess you can call this my girl power music. T. Swift, Avril Lavigne, Pink, Shaina Twain, Kelly Clarkson, Alanis Morissette, Carrie Underwood, and Martina McBride play through during these times.
I would now like to make a list of songs that fit with specific moods you may be feeling. So here it goes
