I think sometimes about how music has affected my life. When someone asked me what my favorite band is, I have a hard time answering that question. I think of my favorite band as an artist who has changed my life in some way. There are many songs that have gotten me through some hard times. Depending on who you are it may sound stupid to think of music as helping bring a person through major crisis in his life. Music has always been an important part of me. I associate different musical artists with different parts of my life. I also associate songs with specific circumstances in my life.

My favorite single song of all time is undoubtedly Lateralus by Tool. This song is not only amazing on a music level but speaks to me personally in a way that no other song ever has. The emotion that is conveyed in this song is extremely intense and these specific lyrics get to me every time I hear them.

Over thinking, over analyzing,
separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.

I’ve always felt throughout my life that I should be doing more. I over think things and it has caused me to miss many chances. If you haven’t listened to this song I would recommend it.

I am planning on updating my blog more often and think that some music themes might be interesting. I’m going to try to listen to a new album every week and give a review. The genre will not be set so things could get interesting…
