For those of you that don't know me very well, I LOVE music and I mean LUUUUUURVE. If I had it my way, I'd have music playing pretty much 24/7. I've played the piano ever since I was 9, having just seen Amadeus and declaring that I wanted to be "like that kid."
Lofty ambitions aside, I loved to play, I love being part of the music, creating something beautiful that can be so incredibly moving. However, saying that, the whole practicing scales for hours thing was never really my thing. I wanted to experience the joy of music, not sit playing scales all day. But, one is part of the other, so I endured the scales to enjoy the music. I still play now, though not as much as I used to, and that's something that I do definitely regret.
Nick & I didn't have the space (or money to move/tune) for my piano when we moved into our apartment a couple of years ago and I can tell you that the pain of living without Alfred (my piano's name, because he looks like an Alfred, he just needs a bow-tie) was quite frankly, well I don't think I have the words to describe it, It's almost like you're missing a part of yourself. We finally moved Alfred around June and I'm very glad that he's with me. Even if I don't get time to play as much as I'd like, it's still nice to have him there.
This Thursday Music Mix is a compilation of songs that are leaning more towards the "alternative" music genre. Though anything gets thrown in there. They all remind me of specific events, moments or things that I have been a part of over the last 4 or 5 years.
I've made them into playlists on iTunes so you can check them out. I'd love to know what you all have been listening to lately.
