Learning I could sing in grade school gave me confidence and pride for the very first time. Singing also gave me the escape I needed from school, shyness and a lack of friends. Every time I sang I felt accomplished. I've never been partial to any one genre, love them all. But, my favorite songs are the ones that make you feel something. Songs that make you smile, even when you're having a bad day. But what I listened to was much broader in genres than what I performed. With constant requests to play the newer country, I started listening to it more often. For unknown reasons, it opened the flood gates of writing inspiration. Music Gets Me High is a perfect example of that inspiration.
