music makes the world go round

Music has always been a very important element in our house. My mother and I did some dancing in the kitchen yesterday to some old eighties toon. I can't even remember what it was. hehehehe. Anyhow, sometimes I get hooked on one song for a very long time or a series of songs. At one point in time, I was obsessed with new age music and was constantly playing some Nervada songs on the stereo. I remember my mom commenting on the depressing nature of my choice of music. She said she felt like she was constantly at some funeral home. :D I also notice how my choice in old music correlates strongly with the music my father played a lot when we were children. We even have the thriller album from the eighties. John and I used to dance to it on lazy Sunday afternoons when he was like 2 and I was 7. There's still plenty of music in our house..always when we're eating and doing chores..etc. I always feel more alone when there isn't music on... it's like an invisible shell..sometimes defining me, sometimes protecting me, sometimes representing who i am..and other times, it's just there.
