High Hopes
Music can strike a chord on your soul at any age. It can transcend the days of darkness and forever etch in our memories the lightness of love, the days of carefree youth, and the dawn of our golden years. It can change your mood, it can set your mood, and it can record your mood. Music transports you in and out of moments in your life. It can be an anchor and it can be like a hot balloon soaring up to the clouds. It makes new memories and reinforces past ones. Music is your one true friend and also the party. It is the chameleon of life that changes tempo and beat to match its listener. Music knows no limits and transcends all ages, races, gender, and religion. It is the original equal rights opportunity. It can act as your therapist, priest, lover, and best friend. It can be the soft shoulder to cry on and the pep talk calling you out of a slump. Music is the conductor of life that transmutes the passages of time. It plays many roles in the trajectories of life. Whatever situation presents itself in life, music is there to provide the soundtrack of the time.

Linkin Park Songs That I Can Relate To
Linkin Park Songs That I Can Relate To The songs that got me through my darkest times Greetings, Vocal readers. I decided to take a break from talking about cosplay and instead, talk about one of my other favorite hobbies. This is my first article about music and I’m going to talk about a band that I grew up listening to. That band is none other than Linkin Park. I’m a huge fan of theirs and I first started listening to them, dating back to middle school. It was around 2001, almost a year after their debut album, Hybrid Theory, was released. I was 13 years old about to start the 7th grade. In fact, in October, it’ll be 20 years since that album first came out. Yes, time sure flies. When the news broke back in 2017 that Chester Bennington died, I was in shock and in tears. It was like my heart came out of my chest and cracked in two. His loss hit me so hard and millions of LP fans everywhere. Even though he’s no longer with us, he’s spiritually here in our hearts. Whenever I listen to a specific Linkin Park song, I get emotional, because it’s something that I can relate to. Below are some songs from them that got me through life, in no specific order.

The songs that connect me to you..
Using Music as a connection to my life and feelings each day, It's hard not to relate to songs that flood me with pride, belief and unbreakable love for you. Words are not always easy for any of us to share how we feel, it can be that sometimes another tool is needed to show our emotions towards someone or a situation. Sometimes it's gifts, written words in a card or hearing a song that speaks to their heart and shares our aching expressions through the artist beating with the feelings within, that help us say everything we have wanted too but maybe couldn't find the words yourself.

Music and Podcasting
I am a creative person. I have always been involved in projects and hobbies that have something to do with some kind of music or writing. I have been a musician and a singer/songwriter since I was seventeen years old. I played in rock and metal bands around the Detroit area for many years.

Bluer Than Blue
I'm the kind of person who has dedicated songs to most of the major events in my life. I have named all of my daughters after favorite songs. So when I married my husband, I was eager to commemorate my new relationship with my stepson with a carefully selected anthem. He was thirteen and completely uninterested in sharing a special song with his "stepmonster". He told me flatly, "I already have parents."
