Just thought i would try and start a thread about music folks, but not how it is at the moment, or what you are listening too now. This thread is all about how you came across music in your life, and the path it took you along the way.
A natural progression of your musical tastes if you like? My story is like this:
I was a young lad in school, with not a care in the world about anything. I never really had a notion about music until about 3rd year in school ( around 8 or 9 years of age ). I remember my parents where always playing Elvis and the likes on the radio ( radio luxemburg on the old radio music things that looked like a wooden cabinet , lol ). Heres my favorite Elvis song:
I remember when Elvis died, my mother was in tears, and she said to me that 1 of the greatest singers in the world had just passed away. I vaguely remembered who Elvis was at the time, but i do remember that moment. It was about then that i started to listen to music, but my timing might be wrong here.
I kinda knew Elvis through the folks and the radio, but my first real memory of music was the Bay city rollers, lol. Come on now folks, who didn't like the Bay city rollers at the time? But i took no real notice of music until i was in the 5th year of primary school (about 9 years of age) Here is my memory of the Bay city rollers then:
Strange as it may seem to those who know, but my next memory is in school. I was sitting there yapping about the Bay city rollers when 1 of the lads started laughing. I was way behind the times, and felt i had to know what was the scene then, so to speak. It turned out that Ska was the music at the time ( a long time between both sets of music, i know) Lets just say i was more interested in how things worked in the outback so to speak. My favorite Ska song is here:
So, i move on in life, and go onto secondary school, where i meet the woman who has stolen my heart, never to be gotten back. We where together through our 4 years in secondary school, and she was mad into Bob Marley, and all things reggae. My first song i ever heard in reggae is this 1:
Life moves on and i have discovered Rave music. I have taken on to some serious *** in my life in the meantime, but music always plays a part in it all the way. But after meeting a head ( who i never met before ) who sits there with me for most of the night, he says to me that music is one of those things that can make or break a man. It was then that i realised that music is all about how you feel at the time, and not who you are.My favorite rave songs:
Well, might as well stick the whole album up, it is progression after all.
Now its over to you folks. let us know how you progressed through the music in your life, and maybe this can work out like the "lets be honest" thread that i think is brilliant.
Apologies if my video linked links haven't worked, but i am out of this world right now, lol. Have fun folks, i did.
