I listen to music every 60 minutes of the day. Even when I am asleep, I play songs on the background all throughout the night. i.e. I sleep and wake up with music. My family and friends sometimes complain because I am really addicted to listening to music. But I don't really care because music makes me love myself.
I love this addiction but sometimes it get me into trouble. Troubles like slamming from my parents, friends and lecturers. Most times I use my earpiece while walking along the road. I remember I almost got hit by a motorcycle because the music was very loud in my ears that I could not hear the horn from the motorcycle. I know that's dangerous. So what I do nowadays is that I plug my earpiece only my left ear while taking a walk.
It is had for me to choose my favorite song or singer because there are so many great singers in the world with undiluted talent. But for the purpose of this writing, I will list my top 5 favorite singers:
- Enya
- Chris De Burgh
- Coldplay
- ABBA
- Passenger
The list above does not contain any hip hop artiste because I don't really enjoy listening to hip hop. I prefer New Age, Blues, Rock and Electronic/dance genre. But I like few songs by Eminem.
I have been criticized a thousand times but I cannot stop this because I love this addiction. It is a source of inspiration when I am thinking and my only solace when depressed. The hope music gives to me is so strong that it makes me focused.
Finally, if you know any song you think I should listen to please drop it in the comment. I also need your opinion. Do you think this addiction is too much? Please advise.
