Friendships and Music: a link?
It just dawned on me that perhaps ur taste in music reflects ur outlook towards life, and hence ur preference for certain friends. Is there a relationship between friendship and music? Just as music talk abt emotions and personal feelings, relationships also deal wif this kind of things also… For me, lets consider my taste in music. Jay Chou, Dvorak, Beethoven, Bon Jovi, David Tao, Airsupply, ABBA, Black Eyed Peas, Selena, Philip Glass, abit of Celine Dion, some songs by Anastacia (Left outside alone), Hoobastank (The Reason), Gwen Stefani (What u r waiting for), soundtrack to some movies quite nice, like Frida the movie, The Motorcycle Diaries, Kundun, The Hours, LOTR da da da.. like quite a lot like that right? But when it comes to choosing friends, I realize I’m more particular, going for certain types, people whom I have chemistry.. I mean there just some pple u just find u cannot talk to, or carry out a comfortable conversation for more than 5 mins.. but then if u look at it this way, isn’t it abit like music, where u go for songs that just strike u, inspire u for merely just start u tapping. U can also say that there’s chemistry going on simply during the act of listening to the song itself. Then like friendships, there also songs, like Jay Chou’s, which grow on u over time. First time u hear, not so nice, or so-so. doesn’t stand out, then listen longer abit then realize that, whoa, the song actually like getting nicer, and by the millionth time u hear it, its like shen already. Then there r also songs which strike u wif their infectious tunes the first time u hear it, but as time goes by, u get sian of it and avoid listening to the track altogether. Although wif people relationships, things get a little more complex, isn’t it startling to draw such parallels? So there is really a link huh...But then again I may b wrong. Its getting late. Better sleep now. Tmw need to wake up at 6.50. goodnight.
