Harmony: Striking a Chord
Whenever I'm driving in my car, I always turn on my radio and listen to my favorite station. They play all of the current hits, including pop and rap. However, my interaction with the station is not like that of your average listener. Yes, I crank up my volume and sing along, but I do so much more than that. I make the songs my own. I change them every time I hear them. I sing harmony to pop and rap songs. Luckily (for me and the rest of the world), I usually do this with the windows closed. It's just not enough to me to sing along with the song the way it already is. I have to interact with the song and add my own parts to it to truly enjoy my experience. Sometimes I make it different, and sometimes I sing a harmony that I already know I like. Maybe it's the nine years I spent in choir, or maybe it's because I have an incredibly musical family. Either way, if you ever see me driving, you can probably guess what I'm doing: I'm creating a song.
