music, maestro!
music has always been a very big part of my life - i eschewed the traditional piano (though i can tinker around with it a little) and went for the violin. in fact, i learnt for more than 10 years and attribute the fact that i enjoyed most of it to the fact that my mother never pressured me to go for any music exams (thanks, ma!). if it hadn't been for uni, i probably would have continued on. in some little dark corner of my mind, i had always hoped i could get into the SSO or something like that. but of course, there'd be no way that could happen since i never took any of the exams...
in uni though, i always wanted to get into radio - i loved the idea of being able to interact with music the whole day and share the songs that i really loved with everyone else. though i studied radio production (i really enjoyed it!) in the end there wasn't any fate for me to take it up as a career.
but i digress. what i want to talk about now is music. songs, in particular. there are some that resonate very strongly with me through the years, and i always prefer to have some sort of background noise going in the form of the radio or my own music. even with S, i find i'm always singing some song or another, so i was pleasantly surprised when i sang, 'we all live in a yellow submarine', and she continued on 'yellow submarinneeee, yellow submarine.' she also can sing along to 'do you know the way to san jose'. very funny.
this evening, i've been taking a little musical trip down memory lane with all the songs i used to love while i was in high school. it's amazing the emotions a song can conjure up and i have a lot of songs associated with different people.
one of my all-time favourite songs. it seems to come back into my life when i need it the most...
