Through the writing of this blog I've just begun to realize how much my life is full of music. Its everywhere, and now I find myself paying closer attention to it. How music affects my moods especially is crazy. I know I talked earlier about how music can set the tone for a movie scene or TV show but how about how it sets the tune for your own life.
As it gets sunny here in usually-not-sunny western New York I'm loving my country music. Its funny how much of winter people play louder angry music or stuff thats sad and depressing....thats what I hear around our hallways anyhow. And as the sun comes out music gets happier and more exciting. In my case....more country. Kenny Chesney's Summertime is a perfect example of the beauty thats been escaping my iHome speakers recently.
Our campus enjoys the same theme as we kicked off spring with a Hoedown this past Saturday night. The quad was full of people dancing in squares and lines. Though not everyone could keep up with the moves everybody enjoyed the upbeat music under the stars. It doesnt matter how not into music you are....music can totally affect your mood. The hoedown was a perfect example, I dont think we've had this many people laughing and having a great time in a while.
I transitioned from upbeat gospel music (from our gospel choir concert) outside to the quad and couldn't stop smiling. My country beats have not ceased....
So as I go into summer and escape the radio-wave-free zone that is Houghton College, I listen to the music thats around me every day and realize how happy (or sad) it can make me. Right now I'm loving the sun....so bring on the country!
