Music is important to me. Songs are poetry set to music. and can be powerful and inspiring. Music inspires me, and can be truly evocative. I often imagine music as a soundtrack to my life at certain points. For example, the day I left my crappy high school for the last time, I remember thinking about the final strains of "Nessun Dorma" with its powerful, overpowering "vincerò!" to overcome years of unhappiness I had endured there, as I walked out and did not look back.
I am no musician, I cannot read music or even know the right vocabulary to describe it most of the time, but I appreciate what I like and the work of the artists that I enjoy listening to. I have extremely eclectic tastes, everything from classical, Welsh folk, queer pop, movie soundtracks (I love these in particular), 90s indie, 80s pop, German rap and rock.... I can never predict what I'll get into next.
