Kate's Playlist

There is a commercial I keep hearing on the radio for Iheartradio, it says “I don’t believe in God, I believe in music.  Some people pray, I turn on the radio.”

I don’t often talk about my feelings on religion, mainly because I know my opinion is not a popular one.  I know what I believe and I don’t feel like I need to argue it with anyone.  I don’t have any desire to push my feelings on anyone else, the same as I hope other people don’t feel like they need to push their feelings on me. 

But I really love this commercial and every time I hear it, it really resonates with me. 

Music is very important to me.  No matter what kind of mood I am in or what kind of day I am having, there is always a song that can match it.  If I’m upset, the right song can snap me out of it.   There are certain songs that I will listen to, probably the same way that religious people have a certain prayer that they always go to in a time of need. 

Music plays like a soundtrack to every important memory I have.  I can tell you a song that was important to me at that time.  

I love music, I love concerts.  This is something vital to my existence.   And since this blog is all about me, I’m going to introduce something new.  Once a week I am going to share a song with everyone and explain what it means to me.  We are going to call it Kate’s Playlist.  I hope you all enjoy it, I’m looking forward to sharing my favorite songs with everyone!
