One of the things in life i like best is music. I know nuts about music theories nor any instruments, yet i feel that music is a fundamental part of humans. I listen to all sorts of music. Since young, I have wide taste of music, from asian pop to eclectic jazz fusions from some underground musicians. I listen to classics too.
That was younger years. However, I feel the popular music nowadays is getting worse. There is nothing around that i know will become a classic such that ten years later it will still widely like. I am kinda disappointed.
I have listened to a lot of music lately, not all of it within the comfort genre my ears are used to.
Ti me, good music I find is those which has emotion, a soul. You listen to music that makes you laugh, cry, or just lifts your happy mood up a couple of notches, and you connect to it. It's like the music reaches inside you and touches your heart.
