Friends+Music=Never a Dull Weekend

Over the weekend I went home and spent some much needed time with my friends. One of my favorite parts about us hanging out involve, you guessed it, music. No matter how long it’s been since I’ve seen them, nothing really changes once we’re all back together. The same goes with music and the certain bands and songs each of us listen to too. Sitting around I started to look at everyone and smile, because our taste in music is all different, and although we may not fully enjoy a certain band that one person likes, we still give it a fair chance and appreciate it. Every time “the gang” is back together we fight over whose turn it is to play the music. It’s like a fun guessing game, we never know if it’s going to be a boy band, a hard core scream-o band, songs that make us flash back to high school, or a brand new song from a band someone just started listening to last week.
One of the best parts is that we are so comfortable with each other now that we’re not self conscious anymore about how we look or sound when we are singing to songs too. We just belt it out. I never knew some of my friends had such a broad range and could really hit some of those high and low notes. We compete with each other to try and mimic the actual singer’s voice and see who does it best, as well as interpretive dance competitions to certain songs. If I was to give everyone in my group of friends a stereotype it would be a very wide range. One of the funny parts is that if I asked everyone to give each other a stereotype, I’m almost 90% sure most of them would give me the quiet or shy one. But if you asked them to stereotype me at a concert, or hanging out and listening to music, I’m pretty sure that same percentage would change to hyper or excited. What can I say, “music makes me lose control”.
