Sound of the Music

Today, I hit the "snooze" button when my phone-alarm went off. My alarm is set several times in the morning in case I hit the snooze couples of times: 5:45 am, 6 am, 6:10 am, 6:15 am, and 6:20 am. Usually it doesn't go all the way until 6:20 as I usually get up by 5:45 or 6, or between those times. However, today, I just couldn't will myself to get out of bed right away. So I hit the snooze button twice, so it was already past 6 am, when I suddenly heard a soft melody--it was my husband's alarm going off. My husband's alarm is a beautiful Turkish song. So I found myself pleasantly becoming conscious from the music and was able to get out of bed before my third alarm went off.

Music has always had that effect on me. In fact, I always used to set my alarm with songs so that I can wake up to my favorite music. Sometimes, I'm in the mood to wake up to hyper and happy music and sometimes like today, the perfect melody to wake me up is this soft music that slowly draws you in and brings you back to consciousness (from the unconsciousness of sleeping that is). Music has always been such a huge part of my life. I can both calm down when I listen to certain music and I can also get energized and happy. iTunes used to be my source of music-listening, but due to the fact that it just took so much of time to try to download free music online, organize it onto iTunes and then transfer over to my iPhone....and worst of all, it was taking up so much of my disc space on my laptop and I kept getting this error message of: "no space in disk" that I just deleted off all my music (after saving a copy of everything onto my external hard drive that is).

And then, there was Spotify!
