So, I really dunno what to do here.
Yea, we're suppose to talk about music.. since this is a "music guild"
but, believe it or not, talking about music can get pretty boring
esp if you're talking about it to people who really don't know what music is.
or people who have never really played an instrument.
it is sooooooooo hard to talk to them about the difficulties of being a musician if they have noooo idea what the hell you're talking about
( playing guitar does not count, since 70% of Americans play guitar, and it's easy as hell to pick it up. )
When I say instruments I mean Trombone, Violin, Saxophone, Trumpet, Clarinet, Tuba, Flute, Cello, Marimba, Xylophone, Baritone, French horn etc.
Those instruments take skill to play, and it takes more than a week to be able to learn how to play it well ( unlike the guitar )
Not trying to bash on any guitar players here. There are just too many "wana-be" guitar players.
All they care about is money, and fame, and anything else that has nothing to do with music.
Anyway, it's just really frustrating to here people say "Omg! I cannot live with out music" or "I loveeeeeee music"
Because half of the people that say that don't care what it took to create the music they listen on the radio everyday.
They don't pay attention to any of the actual music.
Not the lyrics.
The music
The melody.
The only thing that makes that stupid song you're listening to an actual song
Sure, to some people listening to that may seem stupid.
Well to those people "music" seems stupid.
All they care about is the lyrics.
The little rhyming words that cover the music.
~***~
A lot of people don't like Rap music.
Well, I don't like rap lyrics.
They are stupid.
But, I like the music.
So I listen to rap sometimes, but I couldn't sing along with any of the songs.
Because I don't know the lyrics.
But I know the music, I could hum it to you if I wanted.
And that goes for any song I listen to.
My ears automatically listen to the music, and not the words.
I couldn't tell you the meaning of any song.
I mean.. I hear the words.. but I only listen to the music.
I also don't know the titles to many songs because I always accidentally tune out any voices when there is music present so, if im listenig to the radio, I always miss the title of the song.
For some people the music is in the background..but for me the lyrics are in the background.
That's also why I hate most country music.
Not because they all talk about drinking beer or how their dog died.
But because the music of it really is not that appealing to me.
I don't know what it is, but as soon as I hear the first chord of a country song, I am aggravated as hell & I want to turn it off.
But now before you think I'm some completely insane music obsess-or
I do know the words to some songs. ( and the titles too >.< )
Normally if I want to understand what is going on in a song, I have to literally go on Youtube and look up songs with lyrics, because it is sooo hard for me to concentrate on what a person is saying since I am so use to tuning them out.
~***~
So I guess I got off topic?
Or maybe I did some super-ly-epic transition? o.o
Yea...I got off topic hah!
Anyway, When I first clicked on "New Topic"
my intention was to talk about how I am learning to play cymbals...
And yea.. that didnt go well.
But I think I kind of got my point across.
Some of the things I said were kinda harsh....maybe?...or not..?
I dunno, As I kept typing, I remembered the jocks and preps that go to my school and how they bash on music sooo, that got me venting.
So I really mean all of that anger-ness at them.
Not you o.o
But you can Comment on it.
But! You should tell me what you think music is.
Also, are you like me? D:
I don't know anyone that listens to just the music like I do.
All my friends can listen to a song one time & understand what it means.
But I don't because I was too busy not listening to the lyrics.
Is there anyone else like that? D:
I'm kind of alone..
Okay this is wayyyyyyyyy to long. o.o
and incase you were wondering.
I am a band nerd.
Have been for about 6 years now. heh..
