My one and only, true love.
Listening to: Music // Epik High & K.Will
Hi. I think Lee Hom looks really hot when his hair looks like this.
And this.
Hubba hubba.*******************
You are my music, my love and destiny.....Music is my life.
That verse reverberated through my entire psyche when I first heard the song "Music" by Epik High & K.Will, although I couldn't understand half of the lyrics. But, the parts that were sung or rapped in English, cried out to me. It sparked something in me that even I could not comprehend.
A realization hit me in late 2005, when I first discovered the joys of Asian music despite insulting it prior to that occasion. It is absolutely amazing how music is able to transcend so many different barriers, whether it be language or even the norms of society.
This sudden revelation proved to be beneficial to me as due to it, my musical tastes have spread far beyond the norm. However, I still do not have the privilege to say that I have the most extensive music collection as I have yet to move beyond the boundary of what I am familiar and comfortable with. But, I believe that with time, that collection will expand by leaps and bounds. Hopefully, I will be able to say that I have explored music and its vast ocean by then and be able to appreciate music in all of its glory.
There are those who say that music does not play a part in the process of moulding ones personality. There are those who believe that one would retain the same traits and characteristics even without the existence of music. Alas! We live a world that is surrounded and fuelled by the power of sound. Therefore, there is no room for "what if's" and the like. I strongly believe that music has the power to change a person. To manipulate their perception of life. Which is why I think that music should always hold a positive message. It is why I think that music should address only issues that matter in an effort to voice out a liable and logical opinion, but in a more artistic way. It is why I think that music should be able to evoke feelings and emotions that a person has never felt before.
To say that music is merely a form of entertainment is a gross understatement in my case along with many others. Even so, it seems to be more than a passion for me. I believe that music has been so deeply imbued in my blood and soul that its become part of who I am and most likely, who I will become.
My love, my destiny. And so it shall be forever more.
