All the lonely people, where do they all belong?
I’ve always said that obsession with music started in high school/college. This was when I started to really dig deep into the lyrics of song, samples, musicians, etc and dissect them because I wanted to know all the parts that made such beautiful music.
But my love of music started much younger and I didn’t even realize it until I was much older. I don’t give much credit to my mother for shaping my musical tastes as much as I should. In fact, she introduced me to one of my favorite bands and had me listening to Latin Jazz before I knew how much I liked it or before it was cool among my friends. I didn’t grow up in one of those “music was always playing” homes but when my mom did listen to music, I knew she was in a good mood…and my mental/emotional connection was made.
