sum thoughts about music

i was just thinking about this during band practice today but it’s really cool how music both connects and isolates you. 

like i could be sitting in the same room with someone, listening to the same song or playing the same piece, and yet we are both experiencing the music differently. i will never feel the same emotions or have the same feelings about a piece of music as someone else will. one song to me can be a completely different song to someone else. 

maybe that sounds a little cheesy, but music is my biggest coping mechanism and at this point i’ve devoted my entire life to it. i love music so much, and the experiences it has shaped for me.
