Ugh, music makes me so emotional sometimes. I was driving with my friend last night and she put on this CD by this singer she really likes- I think her name is Corrinne May. And all the songs were slow and sappy which makes my mood plummet but I didn’t want to be weird and be like, “hey, the melody of these songs is depressing me. Can you turn it off?” so then it came to this song called “My little nephew” and it was about her nephew who she loved spending time with but he was growing up so fast and he lived really far away so she never got to see him… and in every other picture she saw of him he looked older, and idk, songs of longing especially kill me and the tune was so sappy and so I’m sitting there silently crying like an idiot and my friend didn’t know it because it was dark and she was the one driving. And then my friend says, “So pretty, right?” about the music, and I said, “No, it’s sad!” and my voice was all loud and squeaky and then because the floodgates opened I started like, hiccup crying and she was like, “Oh, Krista!! I’ll put something else on!” And then I cried for like 5 minutes and it was really stupid and embarrassing.
The singer does have a really beautiful voice, though, and she's a Christian and writes a lot of Christian songs, so I like that, too. I just wish her songs didn't sound so sad.
