Can't Stop, Won't Stop

My life from very early has always had a soundtrack or a theme. I can’t think of one time my existence hasn’t been a precious layer, up front for music or a part of setting something of even the vaguest significance to a song. The first memory of my sub-conscious background music for me was when I was about 7 years old and living on College Street, going to Maynard Elementary. You remember John Travolta walking down the street with “Staying Alive” thumping in the rear, him swaggering down a strip? That was me only it wasn’t “Staying Alive” it was “Groove Line” by “Heat Wave” ending with “One Nation Under a Groove” especially if I had just stepped out of my Father’s car. By the time I was 15 and living on Vine Street, clear on the other side of town and going to high school thoughts inclined more toward romance and I had already experienced a triplet of sentimental kisses from a few guys who weren’t even my boyfriends but the one that stands out the most is the one right before my family moved and “Kissin You” by Total was playing in the background. All I know is between listening to the love forlorn singer tell her man “I want to kiss you” and my lips parting slightly to engage with his, that kiss was like “set if off!” Later on when I needed to adjust my mental or something was bothering me for instance, my heart breaking I would drive to a parking lot to a secluded spot and play jazz by Boney James or let my mind wander to the alternative stylings of Steeley Dan. It varies depending on the situation but whatever the case the music insists playing… and it won't stop..
