I LOVE JOHN WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!

Yes, it's one of those days...A day in which I listen to nothing but John Williams.  I love his music and he is a genius through and through.  Rap, heavy metal...they all SUCK!!!! MUAHAHAHA!!!! No offense to anyone reading this, but honestly, I feel like John Williams puts all of them to shame.  His music is just so magical, and it always puts me in a very good mood.  Whenever I listen to his music, I feel like nothing can bring me down--it's that powerful.  I'm so happy now that I could start crying at any moment.

In Colorado Springs, the symphony would play in Memorial Park every Fourth of July and play music all into the night, until the fireworks went off (that's when they played 1812 Overture).  They ALWAYS played something of John Williams, and most of the time it was usually something from Star Wars.  But it was like one of the happiest feelings whenever you were sitting outside on the soft grass.  And then we moved to Oklahoma.    Since then, Fourth of July has never been the same.  But the first year we moved there and I realized that they didn't have a symphony playing outside (it had gone bankrupt--too many football fans, and no one interested in music ), I decided to grab my portable cd player and John Williams' music (Call of the Champions and Summon the Heroes were definites), and I listened to his music while sitting and watching the fireworks.  It makes a whole world of difference and I was so energized by the time I got home that I sat down and wrote John Williams a letter to tell him of my experience, and to thank him for sharing his music with the world.

I think the reason that I love his music so much is that it has more depth and it really tells a story with the emotional dynamics.  You can't even begin to describe music to someone, especially John Williams'.  It's something that must be experienced in order to say something.  And when you listen to it... It's like you step into a whole different world, free from reality.  Nothing else matters at that point.  And that's where I like to be the most.

In my senior year of high school, I remember turning on the radio and heard something that made my day all the better:  "Colorado Springs Symphony plays John Williams"... I can't remember the date, but I still have the program.  I bought tickets that day and being a student, I got them for seven dollars!!!   It was SOOOOO wonderful!!!!!  And I will never forget it.  They played Star Wars, Harry Potter, and many more, but they ended on a wonderful note:  The Finale of E.T.  And the horns lifted up their bells at the very end!!!! HOW SWEET!!!

Am I obsessed??  Probably... Do I care??

HELL NO!!!!

YAY FOR JOHN WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!
