OT Question of the Day - Music

By JLP | October 29, 2006

It’s the weekend and believe it or not, personal finance isn’t on my mind. I have been listening to one of my favorite CDs, Pat Metheny’s Secret Story from 1992, which I think is one of the most beautiful albums in the world. It’s kind of funny because the first time I heard it, I HATED it! But for some reason I kept listening to it and all the sudden I started liking it. Anyway, listening to this CD reminded me of a question that I would like to ask you that IS NOT related to personal finance:

Has a song or piece of music ever given you goosebumps when you listen to it? If so, do you remember what song it was?

I get goosebumps a lot. It usually happens with guitar solos or some sort of orchestration. I guess that is just my body’s way of telling me that I’m listening to a good piece of music.

I don’t know much about music or music theory. I just know that I love listening to music. And, when I listen to music I usually hear all the little details that most people don’t hear. It’s funny because I’ll be driving along with my family and we’ll be listening to something and I’ll hear something and I’ll rewind it and tell my wife that I like a particular part and she’ll just look at me like I’m crazy!

One of these days I’ll make a list of all my favorite songs and share them with you. Most of you won’t care about it, but maybe a few of you will. In the meantime, if you want to try out a mixture of world music, jazz, and classical all in one album, check out Pat Metheny’s Secret Story. Be sure and listen to it AT LEAST 5 times before you decide whether or not you like it.
