I love music. It's one of the most important things in my life and it's fair to say the listening of it is one of my major pastimes. I love how it has the ability to reach deep into you and bring up strong emotions of euphoria or desperation with the simple change of a chord or tempo. I love how it can take you to exactly the mood and the environment the musician was immersed in whilst writing the song, without using any spoken word, or more so, the umms, yeeaaahs or likes and y'knows that dilute the communication of those moods in speech. I am eternally jealous of people who can pick up an instrument and open up their world in such an eloquent way. At the moment I am eternally grateful to Spotify for broadening my musical horizons, and far from taking away from the music industry, since I have signed up I have seen more live music and bought more albums than ever in my life.
Favourites at the moment:
