SOCIAL COMBUSTION

A LITTLE DIDDY ABOUT BEETLE
SPILLED BY B

Some songs just hit you. Some songs that you don’t necessarily think would resonate with you actually have the power to bring you to tears. I consider my self a very artistic person. Simply because I love finding the beauty in nature and things around me. I am a lover of entertainment, art, music, and any expression of someone’s inner philosophies. I let music take me in and breathe me out. i love feeling the melodies, harmonies and words expressed in an assimilated form. I let songs tell me their stories and I let them teach me from their experiences. When I find a song that understands me, that I can connect with, it is truly special.  A couple of months ago when my mom was put onto life support, Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness” was that song for me. I listened to it to and from the hospital every day for three months. I found comfort in it’s lyrics and was soothed by it’s meaning. Last night, I had the pleasure of getting to see it live, coincidently just as my mom is being released from the hospital after a long and scary battle. I cannot even express the emotions that I felt hearing 2,000 people singing the song that brought me through some of my darkest days. It made me weak and brought me to tears. THAT is the very power that music has over me. It is everything. I live it, I breathe it, I become it. and I would have it no other way.
