Music Memories
Looking back at my music taste in the past was interesting. What I listen to in my youth and the reasoning behind my taste has completely changed from my taste now. When I was five I really did not listen to music. The only music that I can remember listening to was the theme songs to my favorite shows and cartoons. To this day I can still recall the theme songs to Fragile Rock, Duck Tales and most of my favorite cartoon shows. It’s interesting, when I watch those old cartoon shows now and hear those songs I feel like I get transported back to my youth. I literally feel like I am 5 years old again.
When I reached 10 I really was not into music. I usually just listened to what my parents were listening to at the time. Once again when I hear those particular songs it reminds me of that particular point in time. When I was 15 my taste in music changed dramatically. It was at this age that I started playing the piano and would discover my favorite music of all, classical. I really appreciated the mastery behind Mozart, Bach and Beethoven’s works.
It was around the age of 19 when I started listening to music in an entirely different way. I realized that music had the ability to make a difference in people’s lives, especially my own. I noticed that I started listening to music as a source of healing rather than as a source of entertainment. My musical tastes have changed tremendously over the years as well. Although I still appreciate many of the bands that I listened to in the past I have noticed now that I am very more particular in my taste and what I choose to listen to. Music has become my therapy rather than just a way to entertain myself.
