The past few years I have really started to enjoy music, especially while running or at the gym. I had to chuckle because I was creating a playlist for my Apple iPod and I noticed my taste in music had slipped to the dark side… Okay, not really but I seem to have a lot more songs that focus on the negative than the positive yet they still get me thinking while getting me through a tough workout. I guess pain and suffering inspires a lot of people in this world, there isn’t a bunch of Mary Poppins songs out there, at least I don’t listen to them.
Here is a taste of my playlist:
- Walk Away
- I Hate Everything About You
- I Don’t Care
- End of Me
- Never Enough
- World So Cold
- Hard To See
- Pain
- Snuff
- Sweet Sacrifice
As you can see, not the most positive yet they do serve a purpose. I just hope that these songs don’t represent how I view the world because I tend to think of myself as an optimist. Maybe I should say an optimistic realist. I am kind of curious to know what was on my Top songs on iTunes before the divorce.
Just an observation…
I found myself listening to the blue songs myself at first. Now I listen to the stuff my kids love. Much happier music. I even like the love songs now.
