The Sound of Music

The music style I like most is alternative rock, that is, a more instrumental kind of rock containing meaningful lyrics. I am not very fond of “screaming music.”

The best band representing this music style is The Killers, who happen to be the best. I personally love them and I am their number one fan.

After finding out that The Killers play the main song of the E.R. series, I immediately fell in love with them. They are different, not the typical commercial band. They make real music and what I like most about them is their artistic videos that I never miss.

Now, I have to admit I am a little sad because they are coming to Chile for the first time on November 29th and I don’t have any money left to go to their concert. I have tried to save up some money, but the tickets have already been sold out and the only ones I can buy are the most expensive ones. Anyway, at least a friend who is going there told me he will call me from his cell phone when the band is performing. He is very nice!!

I often download music, because it’s cheaper and easier. However, when it comes to The Killers, it’s different. I have all their original CD’S, pictures and lyrics. I am really their number one fan. I love them!

What’s really funny about this is that I love music, but I can’t play any instruments. I’m not good at all at setting the beat or playing instruments in general. It’s very difficult for me to keep up with a music pattern. It’s ironic.

I’ve got many stories to tell about concerts. The first one I went to was a concert given by Los Prisioneros. It was very innovating; they performed twice to celebrate they were going back to the music business. Back then, I was only 15 and it was a very nice experience because I went there with a very important friend. Another concert was that given by Lucybell, where I actually fainted. What’s worse is that I fainted when they were playing my favorite song, “mataz”. And the last concert I went to was that given by Madonna, the Queen of Pop.

Music is really important to me; I can’t live without it. In fact, whenever I go out, I always carry my MP3 with me and listen to a great variety of music. I think it’s a way of helping yourself when you are at your saddest. When I’m happy, I listen to electronic music, and when I want to think and ponder as to things, I like to listen to Chilean rock, like Lucybell.
