what music means to me

when i was younger my sister use to play a lot of the beatles, i remember signing songs such as help, yellow submarine, and let it be. When i was in the third grade i got my first ipod, it was those small square ones the ipod nano and it was green. the main reason i got it was just to say i had one and so i could play around with it, i wasnt too into music so i didnt have any intill my brother put his music into it. at first i would just listen to AC/DC and Led Zeppelin because those were the only bands i liked at that time, but then by accident i heard the strokes once and i was hooked. i loved all of there songs and i thought they were very cool, the strokes lead to me liking the arctic monkeys around the same time. next thing i knew i loved those two bands. im very very picky with music and i dont like a lot of bands, when i came into high school i had found new bands as well such as the black keys, but my music taste all changed in 10th grade. i had heard Still by dr dre on the computer by accident and after i heard that song i liked it alot, i thought it was very catchy so on pandora i put rap/hip hop radio. every since then i discovered new artist. i learned about Kanye West who to this day is my favorite artist now and i learned about other great rappers. to me music is a great way to escape reality and a great way to keep you thinking. music to me is a very important tool for learning and creating.
