Figured I would do one about music this time around! Just a short one containing some of my thoughts about music and what it says about people. My favorite genre is symphonic rock/metal by the way. :]

* * *

They say that you can tell a  
lot about a person by what   
type of music they listen to.  
What types of songs they prefer.  
What musical genres they like   
best and what band are their   
favorites.

Sometimes their choices are   
a reflection of who they are.  
Calm, relaxed, complex,  
filled with turmoil, angry,  
depressing, sad, beautiful,   
happy or disturbed.

Sometimes their choices  
are the total opposite of   
what you would expect.

The happy preppy girl  
shuns pop and prefers   
metal.

The goth guy sitting of  
in the corner by himself  
practices opera when  
he knows that no one   
else is listening.

The old lady in the  
supermarket drives home  
blasting rap music out   
of her windows.

The girl who hides her  
feelings behind poems  
closes her eyes to rock and  
metal arranged into an elegant   
symphony of sound. Because  
it's complexity reminds her  
of how beautiful the world  
could be if only we would   
take the time to listen instead   
of condemning that which we   
don't understand.
