"You're never fully dressed without a smile." - Turn on the happiness

I haven't posted anything in ages so here's a new one.

I was looking through my mom's blog and I saw one about her favorite songs. I thought I'd talk about music a little bit.

It's such a huge part of my life. I sing constantly (ask any of my family) and when I get home from school I usually go straight to the piano. It's my therapy and my joy. I can't live without it.

Music definitely affects moods. I've felt that a lot. When I'm happy, I listen to the happy stuff. Usually this is some pop-type music. And a lot of the time I listen to Broadway musical music. Two days ago I got some Annie, Get Your Gun, Annie (orphan-type), and West Side Story. The happiest song ever is definitely "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from Annie. "It's so choice." Haha sorry, we watched Ferris Bueler's Day Off in AP Psych today. I can listen to that song over and over and over.

When I'm feeling down, I listen to... wait for it.... the sad stuff. Stuff like Lost by Michael Buble, Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright, Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins, Cry Me a River by Julie London, and Dreaming With a Broken Heart by John Mayer.

It's not a surprise that my iPod is something I can't live without. If I lose it somewhere in the house, I frantically search for it until I find it and usually I'm really loud about it. Music is my addiction.

So just a clue for you... Music affects your moods. It's something that you can't change. So if you're feeling down, listen to a couple of sad songs... and then turn on some happiness. It can't get much better than that. :)
