I'm going through my music CD's and ripping everything. I've decided to put the CD's away and start thinking about fully embracing the world of mp3's. It's a little bit of a leap as I don't have a way to stream them to my stereo, however I've a mp3 player in my car and an iPod.
I was pleasantly surprised at rediscovering songs I'd forgotten from the 80's. It was a youthful time. Secret crushes, broken hearts and countless hours with friends doing nothing. I have been looking at the good in my life and trying to revisit it.... enshrine it as part of my history in my heart and mind.
Music, at times, has been so much fun and brings back so many honest moments. It's why I seem to always setup 70's and 80's playlists when I first cobble new playlists. It's also why "Time After Time", "Tenderness" and "Roxanne" seem to make it to my lists every time. It's why, when I feel down, I listen to "99 Luft Balloons" or, if I feel like yelling at fate, I click the repeat button while listening to "King of Pain".
If you weren't around in the 70's and 80's... and didn't listen to the rock du jour... these song titles will sound foreign. To me, they are calls to my past and echo in my thoughts with inspiration.
