Has music influenced me?

I love music. So much that some beg me to stop. I really love to sing. Music has deafantley changed me.
When I was young dealing with som emotional turmoil, we all have that at a young age, there was nothing that peaches and herb couldn't fix. I grew listening to oldies but goodies. It is true I am an 80's baby. I give much love and respect to, Madonna, Cindy lauper, Stevie Nicks.etc.... I have to admitt that my heart is more found of blues. Music when I grew up had meaning. You could feel it before the artist even began to sing.
I have many veiws on todays music. I feel like it is sort of a rat race to who can make the most money. Before people would sing about thingsw tha had meaning. now a days we have to fight through stations to hear more than just " black and Yellow, Black and Yellow." I mean really.
Don't get me wrong I like some rap. For the most part however I feel that they just like to listen to themselevs. SORRY...
Music and my love for music has changed my veiws on the world. I believe music is a beautiful noise. I like to listen to music from other countries. I like to closer my eyes and fall in tune with the instruments, I swear some times it feels as though I can see right into their hearts.
I appreciate music more and more the older I become. I'm sure music will continue to confert me, lift me up, make me joyiuos and teach me in my life
