Music to my ears

Ever have one of those days where you just cannot get a song out of your head? I have had this song stuck in my head all day. I literally could not hear any other part of it in my mind except for this:

" Ever know when the time is right to take the reins.
Down the road they're gonna find out anyway but it's too late
Ya know leaches like pretending that they're everything they're not.
I don't like it, I don't need, I don't want it. "

Yeah, that is it, all I can hear, kudos to anyone who can tell me what this song is, and who it is by! lol.

Yeah so, this partial song has been in my head. Even when my emo friend was sending me 'noise' after 'noise" He is really into metal music. For me, try as I might because I love music, metal is just noise to me. I literally frown when hearing it, without realizing I am. But he just kept randomly sending me songs. Since they were metal, I'd literally hear a few seconds of it before shutting it off. Then if I was not doing anything to occupy my mind, the dang song would come back in my head. lol

I looked up the first line and I got " Take the reins definition and meaning." and "5 tips for taking the reins of your love life!"
Little tip for those seeking love out there, apparently you need to " be willing to put in what you want to get out and that means effort and that means time and that means money." lol that was the little portion I could see without actually opening the link.

Google clearly could not tell what I put was lyrics. It was a little amusing though, I guess I shall head to bed with this song, and maybe my subconscious will work it out haha short entry tonight.

This morning I spent the first hour of my day practicing on the keyboard. I actually like starting my day out one of two ways. Either practicing the keys or working out. I know seems like very different ways to start a day out. However, it is what I enjoy.
Anyway, so this morning it was the keys.
Since I had successfully played ' The longest time' at my friends, Let's call her Sarah, house Sunday night when we were hanging out without needing my sheet music. I decided I had at the least, brought my level back up to where I was on that song 22 years ago.
So, I decided I needed to focus on Fur Elise, as some of you may know, there are a lot of versions of this beautiful piece out there for people to learn. Obviously, goal is to someday play it as it is intended. For now, though I am just working on version 1. Haha which interestingly enough, there are different versions of that as well! So, I can play the very simple one-handed little snip of Elise, just fine even without the sheet music.
So I am currently working on the both hands version 1.
Well (I wish I could upload a recording of me playing to it, I believe you would actually be able to tell which was being played by which hand) I am stronger with my right hand. It just flows more smoothly and sounds better if you ask me. So, it is my left hand that I need a lot of practice with.
But then I started thinking, well why IS my left hand so much weaker at this, I am LEFT-HANDED lol I started thinking about how weird that was to me. And then I started thinking about all the things that I do that does not in fact favor my left hand. I am left-handed, but I bat right-handed (Big Baseball fan over here btw) I realized I also Bowl right-handed. I also use a right-handed bow. Same with shooting a basket. Then I started realizing anything "sporty" I seemed to favor my right.
So, then I was like ......ok what do I actually do left-handed HAHA.
Turns out I eat and draw/write/color Left-handed. Oh, and shoot a rifle left. Some Southpaw I am huh.

openly saying what is on my mind has never been easy. I used to keep journals when I was younger. But haven't had one since I was 13/14.
So, this experience could get awkward lol.

Yesterday I was working on rewriting Dark, since I received so much good, helpful feedback from people on here.
Well, my best friend was at work, and started texting me because it was extremely slow and boring. (she is a bartender)
So, I suggested I come just sit up there with her, I could bring my laptop, continue working, maybe have a glass of wine and chit chat.
She loved the idea of course lol.
Sitting at the bar, chatting and trying to continue my work. My mind was not focused on the task at hand. It was bothering me a bit, but I didn't focus on it too much. I had her read what I had rewritten on Dark. she seemed to like it more, than the previous version.
Long story short, I am hearing all kinds of Rock on the Jukebox. Some of it I knew, some of it I did not, but I realized that it was messing with my creative flow.
I don't know if anyone else is like this or not. However, I tend to always have music playing, especially when I am writing. I am not sure why, but it just helps me focus my mind on the story. Odd, I am sure. I could not focus because the Rock music was messing with my flow.
Because, as if I am not odd enough already, Classical music is the genre that influences my creative flow the most.
It's very specific though I have to either listen to Wagner " Ride of the Valkyries" or Vivaldi: The Four Seasons.
I do not know what it is about these in particular. They just make me feel. Just feel more connected. I have background with being a part of an orchestra. So, it takes me back too, and yeah, I just feel all this when I am listening to it, and I think I do some of my better work with that.

Anyway, the Rock music on the jukebox was not doing it for me. I laugh at this though, because music does so much for me. Literally I put music on so that my mind stops going a mile a minute as well. It's interesting because it does calm my random, useless thoughts. Yet it also surges my creative thoughts forward. That is all music too, yes classical I feel produces my best emotions, but I can get something from any kind of music.
Example being if I had been working on the story, I started about A guy explaining how he fell in love with music at a Rock concert. I would have been good. I listen to Rock when I am working on that story.

So anyway, I did not get the rewrite of Dark finished, we actually ended up making a whole day/evening of it, once her and her better half both got off work. It was a fun night. (perhaps a story for another time)
I wrote Dark in a day. Hopefully I will have the rewrite done in two. Seeing it lite up light a Christmas tree definitely shows me, even though I seem to have the ability to sit down and write something resembling a story out in one sitting. I shouldn't lol I should slow it down and take the time to proofread more. LOL
