...I remember waking up every morning to the sound of
Kenny G and his
Sax. On occasion, I would go downstairs and see old
Beatles music videos playing on the TV. It was
"Yellow Submarine" and I could remember it so vividly.
Then, when I wasn't practicing piano, my
dad would sit and play
"Hey Jude" all dramatically, and I would just watch.
My
dad made a
big influence on my taste in music. Hearing that music now, brings back old memories. Memories of when music was first introduced to me.
Back in the day, I loved
Ace of Base,
No Mercy,
Spice Girls,
Jewel, and
Boys II Men. There were more I think, but those are the most significant. I listened to their
CASSETTES all the time. In the car, in my cassette player,
ALL THE TIME.
Then, my
brother gave me something called a CD, and it was
Celine Dion,
The Colour of My Love 1993 Album.
I was blown away.He also gave me
Green Day and
Smashing Pumpkins CDs. I got into that too. WOW.
One day, after I got off the bus to my house, I walked inside and saw five guys dancing in the rain on the TV. It was the
Backstreet Boys. NOW, I was in love. Soon after came
NSYNC,
Britney Spears,
Christina Aguilera, and then came my obsession with
Total Request Live on MTV, back when Carson Daly was VJ. It was a
daily ritual to watch it. (I would catch the #1 video once I arrived home, and I would watch the rerun at 8 pm)
It all started in Elementary School. Now I'm getting older and I listen to pretty much everything.
Music was my life. Well, still IS my life. - a narrative of when music firstcame into my worldLove and Peace,Natalie
