Soundtrack t my life
By Kristin McGee, Tucson, Az
It's common for people to say, "You never know what you have until it's gone." We break up, or lose friends, or move away from home, and only then do we realize how good we had it with that person, or in that place. Humans can be amazingly blind to the things right in front of us. It makes me wonder what life would be like without music, or if I can really imagine such an existence, having grown up in an IPOD generation. I try to picture a world without music, but it is nonsensical, like a world without hope, or a sky without stars.
Everywhere I go music goes with me. It is my ever-present companion. I can hear sweet melodies when I stare into the faces of those I love. I can feel the rhythmic beat of drums as I race to get to school on time. And in those insightful moments where a dizzying truth seeps into my bones, I feel low bass notes throbbing inside me. It would be an impossibility to function without it, this soundtrack to my life. So, to answer your question “How has music effected me?” The truth is, I couldn’t begin to tell you.
