i have always loved music and have a pretty eclectic taste as well. i remember singing and dancing in the backseat of my moms car when i was younger, back when seat belts were a recommendation. i remember my friends and i singing and performing in front of other people we knew... other friends, family, strangers, teachers. i loved it! i used to think that i was so good that i would become a famous singer one day. and i believed i was so good that i was so good that my talent alone would carry me to stardom with little to no effort. i think i was 8 or something. and clueless, because that didn't happen anywhere close to the dream in my head.
however, i still have a huge love for music. and although my dance moves aren't quite like they used to be, i still "get down" when i hear a song that moves me. some of my favorite music is not even the stuff you hear on the radio. did you know there are people out there that are way more talented than what you hear on the radio. well, that's my opinion, but i am pretty sure there are a lot of people who would agree with me. half of the songs on the radio have no feeling. don't get me wrong, i like a good booty shakin' song every now and then, but what i love most are the songs that make me feel something. those are the people who are singing because it's their passion...their heart and soul, not to make a few bucks off the same tune with different words.
the greatest thing about youtube and pandora these days is that they have allowed me to discover so many songs and artists out there that i had never heard of before.
this week i have been listening to lawson. i don't know a whole lot about this band and i couldn't find it on itunes or pandora but here is a video instead. check it out and let me know what you think.
