Appreciation Post- Thanksgiving

 I wanted to post a blog dedicated to music as a whole. Every genre, every artist, every song, all so unique.  I am so grateful for everything music has brought me, how it has been a reliable empathetic companion all my life. No matter the situation, it has been there for me to hold my hand, open my eyes, cradle me into comfort, and uplift my spirits. Music from the 60s-90s has resonated with me in ways other's will never understand. It is not just a "love", it is an undeniable and unbreakable bond that I have and will cherish forever. Thank you, music. 

Bruce Springsteen

One word- iconic. Bruce Springsteen has remained such an iconic part of the 70s/80s. My mother has shared stories of her memories associated with Bruce Springsteen- the era of high school, and how it takes her back to those "Glory Days" *wink wink*. We always listen to his music in the summer, and whenever I hear his raspy voice I think about all the good times in the sun. Bruce Springsteen, you are a legend. 

Rick Nelson- "Lonesome Town"

 "Lonesome Town", one of the most emotionally-provoking songs I have ever listened to. The lyrics compel this battle in my heart and mind between sadness that is worded so beautifully, making it a true piece of art. The song is tied together perfectly with Rick Nelson's angelic voice. "In the town of broken dreams, the streets are filled with regret. Maybe down in Lonesome Town, I can learn to forget". 

Michael Bublé

The serenades of Michael Bublé's voice is what serenity sounds like. He has a voice of velvet, and I believe he is one of the most comforting singers in our modern world. Although he is not from the 60s era,  his kindness and passion for true music embodies the same qualities. My favorite song that he has ever sang is "Sway". It is perfect for every mood- it always lifts my spirits. Surprisingly, Bublé has a slight speech impediment- with his angelic voice, it goes quite unrecognized.
