I love all genres of music. My parents love music too and this obviously influenced the beginnings of my musical sentiment. By age 7, I was the proud owner of a "My 1st Sony" red walkman, which I treasured until it died. I remember my Dad driving me to Saturday sport, and we would sing along to Split Ends, The Skyhooks, Men at Work, Jefferson Starship and more. My mother loved The B52's, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and ACDC, her secret passion. We would beg Mum to put on the Thriller LP on the record player and dance around the living room. 'Beat It' was a much loved favourite, so much that the song now permanently skips on the warped vinyl.
I've owned many walkmans, discmans, I have 4 ipods and an iphone. I have thousands of CD's and even more digital downloads on my trusty PC. I love live music. I try and see as much live music as I can. I've been to many festivals, most in Australia, some international.
I worked in the dance music industry for 3 years before moving to Singapore with James and becoming a full time lady of leisure. I miss work often, the buzz of it all. Doing what I love, all day. Although I don't listen to dance music all that much anymore, I still love it. And certain tracks still trigger off fond memories of parties and massive nights out whilst clubbing with my friends.
Recently a friend looked at my ipod and was overwhelmed by all the music I have. She asked me what my all time favourite song was. An impossible question to answer. Top 10 favourite songs? Still impossible to answer.
Here is one of my top 10 favourite songs of all time. Depeche Mode's 1990 hit 'Enjoy The Silence'. I have attached the piano version of the song because it's just beautiful. Have a listen, tell me what you think.
