If you were indeed a true music hater, you wouldn't have an Ipod at all, much less be moved to tears by any song. I've heard a lot of people out there who say the same thing you do, but I think it's just the current state of American music……songs are little more than a commodity anymore and without much substance. Being on this side of the music industry has shown me that record companies are ruthlessly pushing artists to pump out songs long after they have said everything they have to say, for the sake of fulfilling the artist's contract commitment, which I think is way too long for most artists. So here we are, the American public, left to listen to a lot of empty and musically challenged songs, most of which are beginning to sound the same IMHO. This was actually meant to be an encouragment to you…that you're really not a music hater, just sounding what so many already feel. Sorry if it didn't come across that way…..getting off my soapbox now……..

I love to listen to music in my car and that's about it. And even then it's usually the same cds…Bruce Springsteen and a few other good old rock bands. But pretty much I don't keep up with trends. I can certainly appreciate good music and good musicians (my dad is a lover of oldies and we grew up listening to Elvis and the Beatles), but it doesn't change my life. I will admit (shamefully, maybe) that I don't like most, if any, Christian music either. Unless the lyrics are Biblical (I will ask my sister on that one), or hymns. Period. I am a traditional service girl; it's the Lutheran in me. Contemporary worship does nothing for me, but make me feel awkward and slightly disrespectful. Hey, music is not for everyone. Books, that's another story…

I do like music though My life doesn't revolve around it nor do I find a passion in it. I have more of a passion for books and movies but I think I couldn't imagine life without music. I like to write poetry though and so I tend to connect to songs and like songs more for their lyrics then the sound.

Or not. At all.
I don't listen to people's music posts either, (but if I post a song I expect other people to listen to it;)

The only music I care about are my worship songs (contemporary Christian) and Sugarland. I'd rather read ANY day than listen to music.

(just kidding)
Actually, my first thought was that the music genes were split between you & Chris – he got 100% and you got 0%. Nothing wrong with that. I can't say I totally understand, since my mood is usually very affected by music (more to cheer me up rather than bring me down). But I certainly don't think you're lame for it.

Maybe not to the level that it effects your spirit and lifts you up but that it does effect you on some level. I'd be willing to guess that if you take the soundtracks out of your favorite movies…well they're an entirely different movie. I wasn't alienated by this point and found it mostly interesting. :-) Keep up the good writing.
