I Couldn't Live Without...

Water. Food. Oxygen. Given most people aren't capable of living without those, it might strike you as kind of obvious stuff (which it is). But let's put such things aside, as there actually is one thing I (figuratively) can't live without. And that thing is - drumroll, please - music! Yeah, that's right. Can't see myself going through life without a (virtually infinite) number of combinations of melody, rhythm, tempo and all the components that comprise music - no way, no how.

I think I may have mentioned it in one of my previous posts already, but I'll mention it nevertheless: music is my religion. It's what kept me from going mad (more than I already am anyway) on several occasions in the past and I believe it will continue to keep me sane for quite some time in the future.

I don't know what the world - or my world at least - would be like without music. As a matter of fact, I can't imagine any kind of a world in which people didn't stumble upon the beauty of musical instruments and the things one can achieve with a guitar, drums and a piano. I sure can tell you, though, that my life would never be complete without music, and to complete the title of this post, that is the one thing I couldn't (figuratively) live without.

  1. Another music buff! I also can’t imagine my life without music. Music helps me relax and deal with reality. What kind of music do you listen to? Do you like punk? Metal? Classical music? Jazz? Pop? Do you play any musical instrument? I’ve started learning to play guitar but since I don’t have that much free time anymore, I had to give it up. What are your favourite bands?

  2. Oh I listen to just about everything (except that little Canadian moron, I can't stand the punk - I believe I don't have to mention his name here). I actually wanted to learn to play guitar too, but it was a long time ago and I never really got to it. And my favorite bands? Damn, I don't know, there are lots of good bands out there.. Off the top of my head I could name Arctic Monkeys, a-ha, blink-182, The National, Donkeyboys, The Lonely Island, Gorillaz... The Beatles (I mean, who the hell doesn't like The Beatles), Oasis... Really, I prefer to talk more in terms of songs I like rather than bands/artists because chances are every artist has a song I'm bound to like, but only a few have albums I'd dig as whole.
