What Music Means to Me

Music is a significant part of my life. I listen to music almost the entire time that I am home even when I'm doing homework or reading. I know that a lot of people say that you cannot concentrate on your work with music, but honestly music actually helps me finish things. The music that I listen to the most is Indie Rock and Alternative Rock. My favorite band is Coldplay. I love that they are always coming up with a unique style of music and the fact that the majority of their lyrics can just pull at my heartstrings. Some of my other favorite bands include The Killers, Weezer, Coasts, Good Charlotte (who broke up, but now we have The Madden Brothers which is pretty cool), the 1975, and a lot of indie rock bands that are not necessarily popular as of now. To me, discovering new music is a hobby. Sometimes I pay attention to the sound of the song and sometimes I look for songs that have amazing lyrics. Sometimes, the song is a two for one and that makes it even more incredible. Depending on my mood, my music can shift from bands like Motley Crue (insert the little accent above the u) and The Darkness to a more pop group or artist like One Direction and Katy Perry. I am really open to a variety of music including EDM, chillstep, and spanish music like Shakira. I feel like as long as the song or type of music fits my mood, I am happy. Music just helps me relax and it helps me control my anxiety; I honestly do not think I could go a day without it.
