i love music. i mean, love it. it might be my single most favorite thing in the world. there are so many things i cannot do without the sound of something wonderful in my ears. like- work out. i've been known to walk into the gym, hop on a treadmill, and if my ipod battery is dead- i walk out. i suppose that's not a monumental statement from anyone who might be reading this. duh. megan loves music. but i seem to be finding that i appreciate it so much more in the last year.
here's the thing. mario and i had completely different taste in music. not completely different, but well, we listened to mostly salsa, meringue, bachata....things not in english. which is fine. i LOVE that music too. we danced, we shared a love for dance. latin music brings me joy, but not being in my native language, it's hard to be completely inspired by something i can't fully understand.
so rediscovering my ears has been the most fun thing from my newly single life. i find myself listening to new things all the time and thinking, "how did i NOT know about this?" like, there's not enough time in a day for me to sit quietly and listen to new things.
here are things i currently can't get enough of:
i know. it's a bizarre combination. if there's something you haven't heard of, i can't really take the credit for discovering any of these gems. i have friends that have ridiculously amazing taste in music. (thanks to ben, michael, matt, todd, the list goes on.) but, if it's something you would consider complete crap- that's me. like i said i love music, but dance is my second favorite, and who can't get down to lady gaga?
check them out. hopefully you'll find yourself truly inspired.
what are you listening to?
I've always hated John Mayer, and thought he was such a tool, until I heard "Say What You Need to Say" and that heartbreak warfare song that plays on the radio now. It makes me mad that I like him. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and Lady Gaga....she is a flippin' genius. I'll never forget when I saw her on American Idol playing Poker Face and my jaw just dropped.
