A thought that scared me!

Yesterday I was listening to "Surf Mesa - ily (i love you baby) ft. Emilee". And when I was listening to it, I checked the other videos like its remixes. After the original, I listened to one of its lofi remix. The song was so good, I just closed my eyes and lie on my bed.

A thought then came in my head. The thought was not something new. We all had that thought for something once in a lifetime. It made me feel little uneasy. And I said we all had that thought because it's a quite normal thought. We might had it about hobbies, foods, places or videogames.

So the thought was "There are so many songs and so many version of one particular song, and I will never know about them". This made me stop the song I was listening. It might not sound that important to some of you but for me it is. Think, you like to try new things and make new hobbies. Now you realized, there are so many things to try and some of them are really amazing. And you'll never know about them. Or something like this, you like to visit historical places. After knowing about some new places, you realized there are lot of places to visit or to find, and you'll never know about some of them.

Music is an important part of my daily life. It’s like a therapy to me. I know my taste differs from time to time but aren’t we all like this. We all have that one playlist which shows the most diversity. And it’s okay and great to have one. Sometimes I just want to listen to Rap. And sometimes I think about living my whole life listening to Alternative rock or Indie rock. But when I listen to Indie folk music, I just want to move to somewhere near mountains or a river side, and live there a calm and peaceful life. Axel Flóvent is the guy who made me fall for this perfect genre. It’s so good, like it’s pure and calm. And when I’m stressed or thinking overly, I switch to Stress Relief or Peaceful Meditation playlist on Spotify. They always help me. I also loved the Peaceful Guitar playlist and now I found Feel Good Piano playlist. They all are amazing.

"If there would be no music, what we would do without it?" I heard this line somewhere on YouTube. This scares me a little but I’m glad we have music. Think about how boring it would be. There would be no songs on stories of battles and winnings. Those pirates from Caribbean would have to sail a boring trip or raid. Geralt would never find Jaskier. Bronn would never sing "The Dornishman’s wife" song in Dorne with Jamie Lannister. Joel would never give Ellie a guitar in the second part of "The last of us". I’m really glad we have music.

We have love for different things. We all do. And it’s little scary to think a life without them. It can be anything. And it doesn’t matter if it’s a small thing or big. The thing matter is how much we love it. And music is that important thing for me.
