Yesterday I was walking home from school listening to my ipod and a song came on that gave me this acute nostalgia for my teenage years. It's like ,when you hear NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys, or the Spice Girls and you automatically are brought back to your childhood, or least that’s where I’m brought back to. Well, when I was in my mid-teens I had my rebellious phase. And really all that meant was that instead of continuing to listen to the broadway music I grew up on (Yes, when I was 12 and people asked me what my favorite music to listen to was I said broadway), I got into Alternative rock. I know, pretty edgy. So on came Evanescence, with not even their most popular song, and I was brought back to this time of my life that I thought had escaped me. Music just has so much power to transport you, and isn’t funny that we can describe certain segments of our lives by the music we listen to? I guess right now I’m in the folk/acoustic/americana segment. Most of my teenagers years were defined by Alternative and Classic Rock, my childhood by strictly broadway, and I think I had a small stint somewhere in there with pop. For your enjoyment I’ll attach the song that came on today.
