I cannot imagine life without music. And I don't mean those hits that you hear over and over everywhere you go. They might be catchy and enjoyable for a while but after all they only exist to turn profits in for whoever is behind them as an artist or I guess mainly as the label company. I am talking about music recorded with real instruments and by really talented musicians and artists. My preferences go to instrumentals and to songs in languages I don't understand.
Some of favourite songs are instrumentals, because I like to listen to the different instruments, to the rhythm, to the beat, to all the different layers of sounds and to ultimately interpret them as I want to, to enjoy them either as I go about my activities or as I get lost in my thoughts.
I particularly enjoy listening to my favourite songs in foreign languages because on top the music I like, the artists' voices carry a vibe, that is like vibe you get off when you meet someone that doesn't speak any of the languages you speak. I believe that because you cannot communicate verbally, you just get a "feeling" about them. You sense and it almost always represents the way that person is. So those songs in foreign languages are very genuine, a way of sharing an emotion, a feeling, a much more powerful way of sharing emotions rather than using lyrics.
Of course it goes without saying that there are many songs with very deep lyrics, lyrics that make you think and that make you ask yourself questions. I like it when I get to hear and understand something new about a lyrical song I like. It's like discovering its full meaning.
The other great thing about music is that it can take you back to a period of your life that you associate with a certain song or album or playlist. It is fascinating how it brings back not only memories but also feelings about that particular period of your life.
And music is also great because of its diversity to suit your mood.

Хубаво е да се питаш и да си любознателен, но и също толкова важно да не се оставяш по течението. Защото е лесно.
