I love

music

I love the bass lines and I love the drums and I love all those different voices, melting together, purposeful.

And those compositions!

Have you heard an orchestra? There are so many different parts, all ebbing and flowing, filling up every possible timbre of sound.

The first thing I ever sang was "Do Re Mi" from the Sound of Music, when I was too young to talk. That's how I learned what the word "doe" meant.

My Fair Lady contained my favorite song until the age of eight, and I watched it while my mom braided my hair tirelessly, for hours.

Lovely, lovely, oh, wouldn't it be lovely?

I laughed at Master of the House, and I cried at Eponine's last melody.

I loved Ed Sheeran when I was twelve, because I loved guitar and I loved English.

He found my headband on his bedroom floor, and he cried over it and got high over it and drank thinking about it, and I loved that.

The Script was my first real band. I used to say my favorite band was the Black Eyed Peas, because they were the only music group with more than one person I knew.

I sang "Baby" at a talent show at summer camp in '09, and I felt invincible for three whole minutes.

My best friend showed me my first rock group.

Then I found Lana Del Rey, mostly because tumblr loved her, and I wanted to be a hipster, because everyone I knew wanted to be one, too.

Then it was Ingrid Michaelson

Hey Marseilles

and Jack Johnson

and Leona Lewis

and Michael Buble - Christ, I loved him.

I shifted from my singer-songwriter phase to my alternative phase:

Radical Face

the xx

Gorillaz

The National

Then to my Macklemore phase.

Then to my obscure phase:

Snowmine

And that's it, because it's so weird and obscure and no one likes them except me.

and then to my indie pop rock phase:

The Jungle Giants

The Kooks

The Strokes

The...

um.

Catfish and the Bottlemen

Young the Giant

And my favorite songs? Too too too many, like, at least 300 songs too many
