Thanks to the person who decided to put radios into cars, any road trip we take most likely includes a sampling of either your own music collection, or a taste of what the record companies would like you to hear. Because music is with us almost everyday, it has a way of attaching instelf to feelings and events in our lives. Whether the feelings are negative or positive, hearing the first few notes of a song can incite a memory immediately. Since music has such a powerful effect on my feelings, it has led me to think about how valuable a cd would be to me. I have many cds that I truly enjoy listening to, but there are a select few that when I listen to them, they make me feel happy, sad, strong, weak or a variety of other unique feelings. These cds are truly enjoyable because the entire cd captures a single mood. The feelings that I have when listening to these cds has made me think about how much I would pay for a cd, if I knew ahead of time it would offer these feelings while I listened to it. The catalist for this thought actually came from bands that had excellent debut albums and less impressive follow up albums. A band that I think had this problem was Matchbox 20. I enjoy Yourself or Someone Like You so much, yet I have been disapointed by proceding releases. It led me to think about how much I would pay today for a Matchbox 20 cd that offers me the same powerful feelings as Yourself or Someone Like You. We all have the cds that we would consider the best, or our favorites. I invite you to think about much value you place on these cds. Music is an art form that presents itself to us nearly everyday.
