i have never felt that i was born in the wrong time period. well until recently that is. i find myself going back in time and listening to music that was popular in the late 60's early 70's. based on my views on life and the world, i feel i wouldve flourished during this time period. with songs like "don't let me down" by the beatles or anything by neil young. it's no secret for my love of pink floyd and other music that was experimental during that time period. but i am noticing my distaste for current music becoming increasingly evident. music these days just doesnt add up to the music back then. i know that's cliche and what not but i love music. i love everything about it and find myself listening to the words of the songs more than the songs themselves. i mean don't let me down is an incredible song about love. to me one way to tell how music is, is the way it can be seen years into the future. it's crazy to think most of neil young's music is still relevant in every day life. even to listen to the beatles you can find songs that just are so beautiful and so moving that they can bring people to tears. i havent really thought of new tattoos since my last one, however i want let it be somewhere on my body. this song is easily one of my favorites. just so beautiful and moving. it's also times like this i think of my pops. i have most of his LP collection with most of the music that i listen to. the only bad thing is never being old enough to discuss the music with him. at age six i knew nothing of neil and the beatles. but now i do. maybe thats the thing i feel like ive missed out most on. ive had a great group of male father figures in my life, but the relationship with them isnt the same as i would have with my father. maybe music is the only way i feel like i can connect with him. whether it's the driving up north with my mother in the car listening to all the great music he left me and her telling me what he used to be into. it sucks to never have the chance to ask him what album had the most influence on him in his life. that's just one question id like. if it were the only thing i could ask him it would be that. forget everything else, music means more to me than people will ever understand and to connect with him on that level would have been the greatest thing i could do. here's to hoping his lp's continue to live on through me.
