					music is a love language of mine, through life i've gone through many eras of music i've loved, all of them with a story, a reason, or a person behind them. music tells just as much a story of my life as i could tell my own story. so let's go through it together, okay?
				</p>

				<h3>childhood music interests</h3>
				<p>
					does your child listen to The Police? if your child told you they love the song from them called Walking On The Moon, what would you think? this was childhood emma. she was drawn to music that was well before her time, probably because it is what family members or parents always had on the radio. some things we hold onto forever, and i'll be damned if the drumming style of Stewart Copeland isn't something to fall in love with in itself. other odd childhood intrests include Rod Stewart (mom was a big fan) assorted classic rock that i was to young to understand was just talking about sex in every song. to be honest i don't think i had much interest in the music of my childhood at the time. i grew up in a fun part of the mid to late 90s and 00s. there's an era of boy bands, one girl divas, just so much that defined my generation that i have no connection to. i don't regret this though, music is so wide and there is so much to explore, and as i grew i would certainly do this
				</p>

				<h3>those teenage years</h3>
				<p>
					we gotta talk about 'em. you either hate the music you listened to as a teenager, feel nostalgic for it, or maybe you still listen to it today. for myself, this was a deep dive of classic rock and psychedelic music, no drugs though. teenage me thought to need drugs was to take away from the experience of music, look i was a square okay? do what you want as long as you're safe when you listen to your music.
				</p>

				<p>
					i'd explore much of what we'd call dad rock today. The Who, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Cream, The Moody Blues. during this time i'd discover a song that would always hold a special place in my heart, and still does today. Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest was love at first listen. i do not know what i love so much about this song, it is just pure joy and safety that i feel when i listen to it. i think the lyrics say it all really, it is just about a good time. what more could one ask for?
				</p>

				<h3>adulthood and present</h3>
				<p>
					i would quickly shed myself of my "born in the wrong generation" self when i entered my early 20s. i had met someone online playing video games. she was from poland and we enjoyed similar games. one day we just started talking outside of games. we started talking about music, and she just had so much to share. i was awestruck by the music she would show me. i'd find my love of shoegaze from her. of indie rock bands like Metric. there's more to this story then music, but we were realistic. we were both in school and separated by many time zones that made keeping in touch difficult as we got busier with school. i'd hold onto her love of music so deeply though. i got a spotify subsciption when spotify was what i'd still consider a decent app. related artists pages led me to indie gems like Built To Spill, and Pavement. I'd fall in love with the oddities of bands like Galaxie 500 and Smoking Popes. one day, i remember i was listening to Built to Spill, and i looked at their related artists page. in this page i found a band called The Thermals. I played the top song "No Culture Icons" this was it, for 2 minutes and 22 seconds i was in love with everything i heard. they were speaking my language and i wanted more. i went through every album, finding favorites through all of them. over time as i began to understand myself more, i found softer sides of music i would love. this would include music from Hop Along, Alvvays, Courtney Barnett, and many others i so desperately wished i had noted. spotify like a lot of subsciption apps had an expiration date, and i would move on to collecting CDs and digital media that i would keep on my computer to listen to offline, but my love of music is always alive like a warm fire
