This Is Me

My entire life...
One thing has truly changed the way I see things..
One thing, keeps me going on day by day...
The one thing that my life revolves around...
Music...
Every single time I hear a song that truly moves me...
I get this feeling from deep down inside...
As though the world freezes for a moment...
Just to give way for me to truly appreciate the moment...
Sad to say that,
Nothing and noone else have ever made me feel that way...
You'll get this amazing feeling when one day, you come back home from a bad day in classes, or a bad day with friends..
Broken hearted, torn apart...
Feeling so bad that you feel like taking your own life....
And then you get to listen to this song....
Which tells you that you're not alone in this...
That someone else out there feels the same way too...
That someone else out there understands exactly what you're going through and how you feel...
Whether or not the songwriter has been through that situation or not, doesnt really matter...
At that very point, it feels as though the song was written specially for you...
Call me childish, or whatever... I dun care...
But that's music to me...
Sometimes, its not even about the lyrics...
Its more than just strings and keys playing in harmony...
Its the depth and significance of the entire song coming together in the end...
Turning into something that actually makes sense...
Something that moves you...
Looking back in the days
When I use to sit by my radio, and record songs off the radio and make my own 'compilations'.. Naming them..
When I tried to be a DJ in my own room, picturing myself announcing songs...
When I use to sing my lungs out, only to realize later that I can't sing and Im annoying those around me...
The day I played my first chord on the guitar...
The day I played my first song in church...
All the way till the day I get to step into a real recording studio and actually be involved in the making of something...
My passion..
Regardless of what others may say....
Im very proud of it...
I wonder if there will ever come a day, that I would feel that passionate over something else or someone...
