Personal Narrative: Phil Collins, Journey And Bryan Adams

Decent Essays
As a child growing up with a mother who loves 80’s pop music, I remember sitting in the back of the car dreading the songs, I was about five years old and I didn’t understand why I did not like everybody have fun tonight, and other cheesy songs from that time period, the only ones I did care for where Phil Collins, Journey, and Bryan Adams. I enjoyed music that had a rock theme behind it, I loved guitar solos and now as an adult, I appreciate high notes coming from the lead singer of Journey. My mom pointed out as a child she knew I would be into rock music just by the way I would get excited if I saw it on tv, and when I was 14 she took me to my first rock concert which was Green Day, she thought she was going to hate the whole show, but

    "This life is a precious gift." The Lonely Island Band captures the essence of life for the youthful and daring or the aging and reckless. I enjoy being around family and friends. I care about music, television, and movies; sometimes I like to look for a deep message that most people overlook.

    The screeching of my violin echoed off the wall as I struggled to play Mendelssohn's concerto in E minor. The double stops that were meant to flow in harmony came out in a jumbled mass of notes indistinguishable from the shriek of a dying cow. I whimpered as these terrible sounds emitted out of my violin, and threw my violin down in defeat. I slowly tilted my head towards the clock, a terrifying reminder that my addition was only 10 min away. I gathered up my music, and ambled away from the empty practice room to where my judge would listen to my audition.…

    Many of us can look back on our adolescence and be mortified by some of the interests and choices we made. Our adult brains make us wonder what we were thinking when we chose to listen to same song on repeat from a band that we now can’t believe we liked. In my case, I can think back to a few musicians I had once loved and now listen in confusion at their appeal and ponder how it was that my mother did not go crazy. The quality of vehicle allows me to make trips and travel while only having the option of listening to the radio. Sometimes, I spend an entire trek searching for a song I like and occasionally come up short.…

    Why I Sing Chaeley Winkler I cannot remember a time when I wasn’t singing. Of course, I know there was time before I could speak or burble as infants do, so there must have existed a certain silence before sound, however the mere thought of being so silent—unable to reach out with voice or touch—disturbs me to no end. But these thoughts of a time before sound hadn’t quite crossed my mind until I began to question the finer, tinier oddities in my life. These questions emerged at around the age of seven, before they had manifested as inner thoughts.…

But the music that you might like now might change over time and as you mature, or you might still like the same music but you also start listening to other types of music. In the early years of my life, my mother would sing me this Spanish lullaby called “Ale Roo” that she used to debilitate my anger and sorrow.…

    The Plane Ride When I was nine my family started a move from the tranquil suburbs of San Jose, California to the desert city of Windhoek, Namibia, located in southern Africa. My parents were taking myself, along with my younger sister and brother, around the globe because they felt a calling from God to be missionaries. All of our possessions were sold off, including my much beloved toys, until everything we had could fit into eight large suitcases. These suitcases are what we carried to the airport as we prepared for our journey. I felt no small amount of apprehension and excitement in what lay ahead of me in the new country, but an event I would experience in the coming flight would forever change and shape my perspective of how I see the…
