Until about 2 years ago i wasn't into good music. I had songs on my ipod that were predictable for someone my age. I did however branch out even back then, i was listening to rock and contemporary stuff, a little bit of opera. I did and still love music that is not very famous. I hate famous music i feel as if it gets misused constantly. So 2 years ago, i cant really remember how, but i stumbled upon a song that i really loved. It was by iron and wine called he lay in the reins. Now i don't know if it was this song that got it all started but lets just say it did for the sake of conversation. It was this song and blue skies by r-strays don't sleep from then on i started to get into good music. I discovered artists i never knew about and genres that i never would have thought i liked. I let this one song in and the rest just came to me. Whenever i hear a song and i like it i will move heaven and earth just to get it. A lot of the songs i hear and like, sometimes don't have lyrics or i don't remember the lyrics so it makes it that much harder. I'm not going to lie it is hard work tracking down the songs i like but in the end its worth it, a lot of times its not available on limewire or even on itunes so you have to search on the Internet and beg someone to send it to you, sorry different story. i remember this one time i fell in love with a song and it was in spanish so i checked dozens of Spanish websites and tried to find it. The only problem was that i didn't know Spanish and still don't know Spanish. I ended up buying this album that i thought might have this song on it. Turns out that it wasn't there. After several months of searching for this song, yes months, i found it on this spanish forum that suggested that it might be this song and keep in mind that YouTube wasn't really famous when i was searching, it i didn't have these songs that i can look for so easily. Oh yea the song was called Una palabra by Carlos varela. After liking a couple of songs that weren't "normal" i found more and more and became obsessed. I barely have any contemporary songs on my ipod anymore and i delete songs like crazy all the time because its just too much. i have 1,200 songs on my itunes and i love them all. Most of it is soft and some are opera, it's all different types of genre and that's what i love about it. Another one i went crazy for was kid by pretenders,the live version in this pub, amazing song. All I'm saying is try some new songs that you might not have tried before and let it fill your heart. You wills see that you will love it.
