music soothes this savage beast
You know music drives me in almost everything I do. When I work, clean, cook, I like to put on some music to listen to as I do my tasks because it helps pass the time. Even as I type this I am listening one of my music mix's. But it goes beyond just playing the music to pass the time. Music truly drives me. There are certain songs I play because they well up certain emotions in me. Bodies by Drowning Pool, Out of Control by Hobastanc, Do Right by Jimmys Chicken Shack bring out anger and rage in me. Amazing by Arrowsmith, Dolphins Cry by Live, and Blaze of Glory by Bon Jovi bring out noble and self sacrafice emotions in me (and yes I can be noble and I have given up things to help others). And there are many more of course. Some put me in a silly mood (mostly Green Day and Offspring) and others put me in a focused almost zen mood to help get through certain jobs. I even have one song that reminds me of the good times I had with an exgirlfriend and another that brings back the bad memories of why we broke up. But there is one composer that I love most of all. I have a cd of some of his greatest music. And no matter how bad a mood I am in, no matter what may be going on in my life and is bringing me stress. This cd brings me to a calm and serene state. After I have listened to one or two songs I nothing that had me up in arms matters and I can think again with a clear and focused mind. Who is this great composer. Yohan Sebastian Bach. I know I know here he goes on a rant about Bach but Im serious. There are few things in this world that can bring me such peace and calm like Bach does or do it better. His musics is just so peaceful and moves me body mind and soul. I remember picking up a cd of his greatest works for just five bucks in a book store in Reading Pennsylvania. I had also picked up four other greatests 2 of Beethoven, 1 by Strauss, and 1 by Vivaldi. But its the Bach cd that I treasure the most. Well since I moved a lot of things got hastily packed and forgotten. And for a while I had forgotten about it. Well tonight was an ugly night at work. I worked almost nonstop to keep things runnign smoothly and I thought hey tonight would be a great night to go home, take a nice hot shower, pour a glass of wine and listen to bach in the dark. Well sadly I cannot find the cd and I have looked through everything. *sigh* I have lost my Bach. I could probably go out and buy a new cd but I fear that it just wont be the same. Ill miss that cd and hope I find it someday. Could really use some peace in my life. Even if it is just for 5 minutes. Heh geuss Ill just have to rely on the other things that bring me peace.
