As a musician myself (I play the flute), Music takes to me a place noting else can take me to. When I'm down, I turn on a song that relates to my problem and I feel a million times better. I think about how music inspires me to do great things and how it lets other people express the way they feel and I break down and cry. My passion for music is unreal. There is no other feeling like it. I could sit and listen to music for hours and hours and NEVER get sick of the sound an feeling put into every verse. Music has been a huge part of my family. I am currently learning how to play the guitar. My father plays. My mother and younger sister sing. We love to sit around and sing, laugh, play instruments, and just have a great time. Music brings my family together. My mother and sister are more of the "anything on the radio" type, but me and my father are the 60s', 70s', and 90s' alternative rock type. Alternative rock, by far, has to be my all time favorite. Anyways, we can all learn many things from songs and artists' messages. Listen carefully and appiciatively. -Ms. Hackett
