So I've been thinking, how must life have been without the luxury of iPods and iPhones?
I mean seriously, before sound could be recorded, the only music people could have heard was the piano in the saloon, the nickelodeon in the theatre, and the organ at church.
I think we, as technically advanced people, tend to under-appreciate how lucky we are. I can, if I wish, listen to country, stop the song midway, switch over to dub-step, and switch again to classical music. Imagine the monotony and silence of a world where you cannot freely choose the background music that accompanies your life.
I simply cannot comprehend it. As a person who relies on music for comfort, inspiration, joy, and love, I cannot simply entertain the notion of a world of silence.
But, I think that the music that we listen to really says a lot about us as people; back then, people listened to whatever was playing, but now we have the luxury of choosing the music that accompanies their life. I can listen to Angel by Sarah McLachlan to console myself in my insecurities, to If I Die Young by The Band Perry to think about what I have to be thankful for, and to Party Rock Anthem for that party mood.
So here's the question for today's post. What song(s) reflect your life's movie. We could create a soundtrack to our lives. And, if you read this, answer the question, and like this blog on Facebook and follow it.
