So this sound corny, but I actually made playlists based off of a few of my closest online friends. I even named the playlists after them. It’s an assortment of songs with one big song that reminds me of them the most.

Now for the song that makes me think of you the most. I’m pretty sure you could figure this out without me telling you, but here it is… Somewhere Over The Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. I still remember you playing this on your ukulele. You also played me a song from Legend of Zelda. I hope you are still playing it. It’s probably one of my favorite things about you.

If I were to make a playlist for this girl, it would probably be somewhere shy of 4000 songs. Every band in the playlists I’ve made for my friends even MYSELF was introduced to me by her. She is and will ALWAYS be my musical soulmate. It’s crazy how someone that I have only met ONE TIME in my life can have such a huge impact on my life.
Let me tell you about how we met. I was living in Oklahoma at the time. I woke up around 1 or 2 AM because I heard talking downstairs. I walk down stairs and here is this girl laying on my couch with a few of my friends. She had a lot of tattoos to me THEN, but she has WAY more now.
Anyway, so I sit down with them and get to talking to her. She begins telling me about all the concerts that she has been too and all the bands that she knows. I was just getting into music around then, so I asked her to write down all the bands that she knows, so I can have some new music to listen to. She looks at me WIDE EYED like “Like… All of them???” I was like yeah as many as you can think of.
Well she kept telling me stories while writing them in a notebook I gave her. Now… I expected there to be a lot of pages filled, but not as many as there were. She filled like half of my 180 page notebook FULL OF BANDS and singers. I was set for life when it came to music. HELL… I STILL haven’t finished adding all the songs and this was almost 10 years ago that I met her.
Amy. I am gonna speak directly to you now. I know that we never got a chance to meet again, but you DEFINITELY have a very special place in my heart. Do you have ANY idea how much music influences my life? It has helped me get through so many tough times. It helps with my writing, helps with my anxiety and depression, EVERYTHING.
I am very lucky to have met you. I don’t know if I ever told you how fucking STRONG you are. I mean…. You are dealing with so much shit. Your cancer, raising a family….. I have been following your page for a while and I just love how you can just look through all of the bullshit and still keep that amazing smile that you have. The energy that you put off is just awesome.
I feel sorry for anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of meeting you. I really don’t know how to thank you for everything. I hope that one day we can meet again and talk about art and music. You are an amazing woman and don’t you dare let anyone tell you different. Thanks again. This post was as much for you as it was for my friends.
