Music in My Life

I think all people has its own Soundtrack of Life. What does it mean? Well, it's like in every moment of your life (childhood or youth, for example) you have one song which its melody and letter fits with your feelings or the situation, or just maybe you like it because it was “the hit” of that season and it gets into your soundtrack.

For me, music has been present along all my life. When I was a child my mom turned every day the radio on, she listened romantic songs (in Spanish) from the 70's to 00’s so as you can suppose I know all that old and classic songs. Sometimes the radio was on at any dial, so that’s why one of the first song that I can remember when I was 3yo is Objection (Tango) from Shakira.

Then, when I was growing up I listened to pop music because of the influence of my oldest sister and I liked because the melody was so happy. I still like 90’s-00’s pop bands: Backstreet boys, N’Sync, Spice Girls.

Finally, when I was 13 or 14 I started to search new music to play on my mp4. At that age, I realized that I liked Rock music (specifically the Alternative and Punk one) for example: Franz Ferdinand and The Offspring, I liked the combination of the guitar, bass and drums, and the letter of the songs. I remember that I wanted to play the electric guitar then I realized that I prefer look and listen to people playing it than me trying to learn. But back then I didn't found all the music on my own, I had the influence of my best friend, who showed me one of the first bands that I like the most: Foo Fighters (on the video one of my favourite songs).

Now I still like that music, but also, I listen to songs from different musicians, for example: this week I have sticked on my mind Stolen Dance from a German band called Milky Chance, and the last week I listened a lot an 80's song called Brother Louie from Modern Talking. And I like 70's and 80's music because the rhythms are so cheerful and swinging, that’s why I play one playlist from Spotify called "Retrovisor" which has a lot of classics from that years (YMCA, In the Navy, I Will Survive, Karma Chameleon). Also, I like every song that let me dance, sing or just appreciate every instrument (such as Brahms, Wagner, Rossini, Chopin). Except for bachata, I hate of what it sing about.

Through the time, I always had songs (from every and more bands and singers that I said before) that has a special meaning and I hope to have more for the rest of my life.
