I love music...

The new artist I love is Kate Voegele. I heard her the first time on my beloved One Tree Hill and now I am hooked. She does a rendition of Hallelujah that knocks your socks off. I love that song even though it makes me cry when I listen to it. She does a beautiful job singing live even.

I have very odd taste in music. I love most any music, as long as it is sung well, has a good beat, or has a good message. When people sit in the car with me as I listen to IPod they are confused. Until I was 13 I listened to nothing but oldies. Elvis was my very favorite, I even made my parents take me to Graceland when I was 10. What 10 year old does that? Then I started liking more popular music, rap (what rap used to be, not the crap nowadays), hip-hop, alternative, even some country. Now? Pretty much if it has a good beat and a message I enjoy I will like it. One of my all time favs is Green Day. I like them a lot because they write all their music. Plus the reason they are called Green Day was because a principal told them it would be a "green day in hell" before they made it as a band. I am a sucker for a cool story.

I like music, it calms me, motivates me, comforts me, gets me fired up, or keeps me moving.
