The music of my life

I never had –and I still don’t- a favorite kind of music. I mean, I have some tendencies to rock music and derivatives, but I have always thought that every type of music fits with some circumstance of life, and that’s why I always talk about “the Life’s tracklist”.

My own life’s tracklist is compound of many artists and more specifically, of many songs. Every song of this tracklist has a special meaning and reminds me some situation or person that could be important to me.  

I always remember an occasion when someone asked me what song I would take with me if I would have to go to a desert island. On that occasion I said I would like to take “Highway Star” by Deep Purple. Today I probably would say something like “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin. Tomorrow… I don’t know. Each day has its own song and that’s why sometimes I hear some pure rock music to activate my day, other days I hear classic music to relax, other days I hear some dance music to change my mood, etc.

I believe music is profoundly connected to our life; it talks about what we are, what we think and what our expectations are. We can express ourselves through music and, at the same time, we can allow ourselves to feel intensely our emotions. I think somehow... it's a way of catharsis, like every art expression. We can use it as we wish.


Kind regards! J
