5 songs I like

                                                                5 Songs I like

Rush:  Afterimage = There are many reasons why I enjoy and appreciate this song. For one I really appreciate the music itself. The members of Rush are very accomplished musicians and this song definitely showcases their abilities. My favorite aspect of this song though is the message. This song is about losing a loved one and the feelings that you experience after. The lyrics describe specific images that the drummer was experiencing after his loved one had passed. I remember listening to this song after my father had died and the feelings I felt. This song hits very close to home for me.

Alice in Chains: Down in a Hole = I really appreciate this song because I am able to relate to the message. This song is about feeling so down and out and beaten up by life that you feel that you want to give up. I think everyone has felt these feelings at least once in their lives and I appreciate the fact that this band had the courage to be so open and express those feelings.

Mozart: Requiem = This piece in my opinion is one of the most powerful pieces of music ever created. When I hear this piece of music I experience a surge of emotions that rush through my body. I can hear the desperateness that Mozart must have been feeling at the time when he wrote this piece.

Bach: Air on the G String = This piece is on the top 5 of my favorite classical pieces of all time. The violin in this song is so beautiful and heartfelt that it almost brings me to tears every time I hear it. For me this has to be one of Bach’s greatest pieces of music.

Silcox&Cariglio: Another Story Told = Out of all the songs that I have written over the years I always seem to come back to this song as one of my favorites. I was going through a rough time in my life when I wrote this song and when I listen to it reminds me of how fortunate I am. I can be in the worst mood and this song has the ability to pull me out of it.
