What is Life’s Soundtrack?

Music was my refuge.  I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.  ~Maya Angelou, Gather Together in My Name

Music is very important to me. I sleep with music on, I can’t travel without my iPod and I have docking stations in every room of my house, my car and my office. Someone asked me what it was that I liked so much about music, why I view it as essential as air, my response has always been that a good piece of music can shape the atmosphere, the feeling and the memories of every moment in your life. The best musicians write about the things we have lived through, they show us we are not alone in our feelings, and that somewhere out there someone understands us. That is why I love music so much.

This project is about me sharing my love of new artists, lesser known songs of popular artists and standby favourites. It’s also about sharing my life with you. Songs that have shaped who I am, that are connected to moments and memories that have meaning for me beyond just the lyrics and melody. I hope to be able to also share the stories of my friends, and their favourite music, and hopefully soon, the stories behind the writing of some of my favourite songs directly from their artists.
