Author: ForTheRecord

Originally born and raised on Long Island, NY, I've made the journey to Colorado with a blind eye and two suitcases to pursue a career in college admissions. Though I love what I do, I never want to lose sight of my passions: music and writing. Music is the most important thing in the world to me, so what better way to spend my time then not only listening to it and playing it, but writing about it too? Though I am 23, I like to consider myself a 50 year old suburban dad, due to the fact that my music taste is that of a 50 year old suburban dad. And even though I may have been born in the wrong decade, maybe my purpose on this earth is to spread the love and appreciation for the good tunes of the past. I hold onto the hope that this music is not gone, but just lost; soon to be found again. And it's people like you (all my 13 subscribers) who can help bring this stuff back to life!

A BLURB:

23. music enthusiast. NY–>CO

Two passions that have always been consistent in my life are writing and music. So I figured, why not combine the two? I am fascinated by melodies and lyrics and the nature of the composition of a song. What was the artist thinking or going through at the time? When was the song recorded and why was that relevant? What social and political issues were happening at the time of release? These are questions I want to explore in this blog. Each week I will pick a song to  delve into, analyze, and sprinkle in my own personal thoughts and opinions on it. I hope whoever stumbles upon this place finds it enjoyable:)
