Music is one of the things that made life worth it. If there is a God, I think music bring us closer to him.
Music is so beautiful, and so wide in styles, instruments, interpretation, that I think to close your mind to only one style is really stupid. You can miss so many wonderful songs doing that. So I like to listen all kind of music. I couldn`t name one style in particular, and in no case I could choose a song, but checking my ipod, the most listened songs are always hard rock bands like Led Zeppelin, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, Kings of Leon (before they sold out)….I’m calling all this bands “hard rock” because that `s the most general classification I can think of….this bands are not all the same, some of them are more garage rock, psychedelic rock, progressive rock, etc…anyway, I think old classic bands are eternal, their music is so wonderful and touches you so deeply that it’s impossible to forget them, and all good musicians of today have them as their mentors. Rock wouldn`t exist if it weren`t for bands like Led Zeppelin, one of the best bands in the history of music. Or the art of experimenting with new sounds wouldn`t be possible without the existence of Pink Floyd, The Beatles, David Bowie...
Moving to different styles, I also like:
Brit bands like Blur, Oasis, Massive Attack, Tricky, The Stone Roses… or Scottish like Travis….european musicians have a really neat and elegant composition style, that`s what I like about them.
Björk…she has her own style and I love her for that!
Latinamerican music like Los Fabulosos Cadillacs or Bersuit Vergarabat! One of my favorite bands of all times, their songs speak about our roots, the history of our continent, the feelings that made us latinos!
Nano Stern, Manuel García, Los Tres, Los Prisioneros, Violeta Parra, Vìctor Jara, Inti Illimani, Los Jaivas…it`s really unfair to put them in the same categorie, but there are all Chilean and awesome.
If listening to music makes me fly, makes my day better or sometimes worse, I think going to concerts is one of my addictions. I’ve spent so much money on that! But seeing Bersuit Vergarabat in concert for the first time was one of the most magical days of my life. Listening to “Vuelos” or “Un pacto” made me cry. In this point, I would say that loving old bands is not very convenient, because the musicians are retired or dead, and the feeling that you are never going to see them in concert is really sad. And even if they are alive, music has also a context and it wouldn`t be the same to see Janis Joplin today that in Woodstock for example…

I`ve always liked writing, and because of that I`ve wrote poems, and sometimes, songs. It`s really weird because sometimes they are in spanish, and others in english…I guess if I knew more french, they also would be in that language…it`s something I can`t control! I also imagine the music and that`s how I started playing the piano and the guitar. Lately, I decided to continue on the piano, I`ve never took clases, but I was good, I think. I have a natural talent to listen to songs and catch the notes, and also with instruments. Unfortunately, my piano broke and I`ve haven`t fixed it yet. That`s how I lose my practice, and it`s so sad, because now I can`t play like I used to :( But I swear, I would fix it this week. I miss it too much!
omg Maria Paulina! you write?! i had no idea!
ResponderEliminarit's so wonderful! i use to write songs and poems too, but then i stpped. i don't know why.
anyway, it's true that music makes you fly, and saves you from problems.
love U "M"
