Have you ever noticed that the music you listen to either directly reflects or directly affects your current mood? Or maybe I'm the only one who lets music be that important in her life. Either way, that is exactly what music does to me. Take this morning, for example. I climbed into my truck, all ready for a long day of work and school, and the radio was tuned to B93. Now I love B93, don't get me wrong, but this was just not a Martina McBride morning. It was more of a calm music morning. That being said, I turned the channel a few hundred times before finally trying Way FM. Good choice. It had a perfect blend of slower jams and some more upbeat songs to keep me awake before my coffee kicked in.
When I got to work I was in a spiritual mood because of my previous Way FM drive, so Pandora was immediately set to Third Day radio. However, after a couple of hours of the slower stuff making me want to fall asleep, I started singing Steve Miller in my head. Now Pandora is on Steve Miller Band radio, the perfect blend of classic rock styles to get me through lunch time (at least).
Now sitting here listening to Steve and his compadres (Boston, ZZ Top, etc), I feel like I'm back in my yard working on cars with my dad, or at the farm where I work in the summertime. Funny how music can put you in a certain mindset depending on the style, the lyrics, or the tone. It's cool and creepy at the same time. Maybe those crazy screaming parents aren't so wrong about song lyrics affecting child behavior afterall.
Anyway, that's my story for the day. Happy Hump Day!
Ta ta for now.
