Music is My Best Friend
Music is such an important part of life. Throughout my life when I have been happy, sad, or wanting to just spend time on my own to get things done music has always been the answer. Music is all around us; while driving, eating at a restaurant, and while we wait for our car to be serviced at the dealership. A life without music is not truly a full life at all. I listen to a lot of different music: country, hip-hop, rock and roll, oldies, but my favorite band of all time is the Beatles. The Beatles have been touching people’s lives since the 1960s and continue to do so through their music. From 1940 to 1943 legends were born, later to become the Beatles, made …show more content…
My oldest sister AhLeah listened to hip-hop, my oldest brother Tyler listened to heavy metal, my mother listened to rock and roll like Motley Crew and Gun N’ Roses, while my father listened to music such as The Beach Boys and Styx. No one in my family listened to the Beatles growing up nor did any of my friends. I started listening to the Beatles when I was around 13 years old; I was in middle school and just got my own computer for my bedroom. I would sit in my room and find music online all night long; I would even sit with a blank cassette tape ready to record any good song that would come on the radio. Throughout middle school and high school you could not find me rooming the halls in between class without my headphones on. I was always listening to something. I bought my first Beatles album “The Red Album” 1962-1966, when I was 14 years old, first heading into high school. This is a 2-disc CD that has a total of 26 songs, I still to this day have these CDs and now have put the music onto my iPhone so I can take this music everywhere with me. It’s amazing how so much time has passed, yet I still listen to the same songs over and over again; the music just never gets old or overplayed in my …show more content…
I was so happy and excited, my manager let me and five other employees working who were working get off early so we could go enjoy the show. At the time $75 for one ticket was just not affordable to me, I felt so honored that this person was kind enough to make such a generous offer. I went to the show and loved every single minute of it. It made me think about how music and artists are in today’s society. It seems that there is a lack of passion in a lot of today’s popular music, I wish so badly that I can have lived through the Beatles era and would have been able to watch them as they were out tour during their prime years. I like to think that the people who enjoy listening to the Beatles music, are kind, helpful, and creative individuals. That is why I think that person gave me his tickets, because he is all of these attributes, and true Beatles fans have all those characterizes. The Beatles just had that effect to attract a certain type of person and then make one an even better
