you realize you're a music major when....

Good evening (or good morning...),
I'm obviously procrastinating finishing my essay on environmentalism and Eco-terrorism, but who wants to do that!? Actually, my paper is my inspiration for my post today.

I've had an epiphany kind of a day.  As I was getting ready for school I felt myself dragging, but then I realized I had renewed my Spotify premium membership and I had my fabulous Florence + The Machine/Gotye/Kimbra/Erato/Billie Holiday mix on my ipod and I lept out of bed to turn on my music and once the music was on, I stopped and I wondered "does anyone else get this excited for music?"  So do you?

Again, music was my force tonight.  As I was trying to write this paper I didn't want to write, and make myself focus I couldn't find the right music.  I need something new.  Something I can analyze and discover it's nuances and fall in love with the lyrics but nothing was working so I went back in time and remembered my favorite music to do homework to high school (that wasn't Lord of The Rings - because that is and will probably always be first in my book).  Run Lola Run.  If you haven't heard this music - find it.  It's amazing.  Here is one track:

Anyway, the film is amazing as well, but I just find it strange (and maybe it isn't and I'm over thinking things) that music drives my life so much, especially when I don't realize it.  I'm surrounded by music all day for homework and class work - you'd think I wouldn't want any more but silence is scarier.  Especially when silence is comprised of a cluster of pitches created by your fridge and the flashing light on your computer monitor and the light above the sink. 

I don't know if this is important to anyone, i think I just needed to write something I care about that didn't make me depressed about the environment. I look forward to hearing people's thought on Lola.

Oh! And the title of today's post came from me standing in my dinning room, about to walk into the kitchen for some water, but I couldn't walk till the "drop" (I believe it's called) in the Dub-Step song I was listening to.  Also, awesome!

PLEASE IGNORE THE CREEPINESS OF THE VIDEO - I don't know what's going on.  I just like the song... Don't judge!

Well, i guess that's it for now.  I did want to write about my AWESOME voice lesson today, but that will have to wait for another time, hopefully after I've slept and finished this paper.

Ta!
