Music is different. Instead of changing your surroundings, it forces you to look at your existing surroundings in a way you didn't before. Art and literature and things change you from the outside, but music changes you from within.
I think the type of music a person listens to says a lot about them. I don't have a favorite song, or favorite band. I just listen to what speaks to me.
"You Could Get Lost Out Here," is a song that I heard first when in a bad mindset. When a music teacher says that they're going to play a sample song for you, it's hard not to expect a droning classical symphony that stretches on for ten ice ages.
When the teacher played that song instead, it transported me to that strange place in my head that I go when listening to music that I can believe in. Because the truth is, you can get lost out here.
I'm still trying to find my way back.
