Music can have a very positive impact on your life and inspire you. Although I do not possess much (if any) musical talent, I have always enjoyed listening to my favorite songs. As a young man, I listened to music that reflected the disillusionment and anger that I felt. Bands like the Clash, U2, The Alarm, Stiff Little Fingers, and other punk rock and new wave bands really resonated with me.
My taste is more diverse these days
Now that I am older and more mature, I listen to a much more diverse array of music. I enjoy hard rock, punk, 80’s alternative, country, jazz, and modern Christian music. On occasion, I even listen to a little Classical. Bach and Mozart are my favorites. Christian music makes me think of Jesus and helps me worship God. Jazz is smooth and helps me relax. Country songs help me recognize that life can be rather difficult at times.
The music of my youth is still my favorite
Alternative rock and punk remind me of my youth. It is what I listened to in my formative years. Hard rock is just plain fun to listen to some days. Nothing better than playing some Led Zeppelin to get my blood pumping. Each type of music inspires me in different ways. Explore music and find out what you like, and listen to it for inspiration.
So I’m headed down the open road unknown
Switchfoot
And we find what we’re made of
Through the open door
Is it fear you’re afraid of?
What are you waiting for?
Love alone is worth the fight
I am Doug Keating and this is my letter to sons.
