Music is a part of me. It defines, in a way, who i am and my personality. My favorite kind of music to listen to would have to be country, though it is not the only type that I limit myself too. I can relate to it and most of the time find that the things that the artists are singing about are things that I, myself, have experienced or have some kind of connection too. Some of my favorite country singers include: Taylor Swift, George Strait, Brooks and Dunn, Josh Turner, and many more. When I hear their songs I feel a connection, whether it be serious or on a more relative note, that brings out emotions that often relates in some way to events in my life. One of my favorite songs, "That's what I love about Sunday," by Craig Morgan, is a prime example. It's all about the closeness of the family, all the things that he did growing up, and the traditions he lived by. This song reminds me so much of my life because I grew up in a small country town with a big family where everybody knows everybody. My Sunday's were exactly like the song, full of friends and family, singing at church, backyard football, and just hanging around. This is why I love country music. I often feel like they are singing about me or things that I know of.
I can see how music would produce some kinds of boundaries though. Often, people of different races or ethnicity's listen to different types of music and can be viewed differently if they do not follow these norms. In all honesty though, I believe that it shouldn't matter what you listen too because music is an expression of one's self and you should not be limited to this expression based on others ideals.
