The end of one chapter... and the beginning of another...

I don't think I've had any readers during the time that I've been running this blog. Nonetheless, like all projects that one completes, I think it's important to give this blog a proper final entry.

I started this blog with a review of Milo Greene's self titled debut album all the way back in January 2013. Why? I wanted to tell people about the incredible music that this band was creating. I wanted to share with them the joy that I felt when I listened to the soothing harmonies on '1957'. This later led to more album reviews, and though I sometimes struggled to keep up, I made sure I always got to it eventually. Sometimes, I felt an album didn't warrant a review, largely because I had nothing to say about it. In January 2015, Fall Out Boy released a modern rock masterpiece in 'American Beauty/American Psycho', and yet, the words to write the review of this fantastic album never came to me. Then more incredible albums were released Chasing Grace with 'Nowhere Near Old Enough', James Bay with 'Chaos and the Calm', the return of Madonna with 'Rebel Heart'... Still nothing.

Having really thought about everything, I can finally come to the following conclusion. When I started this blog, it was because I cared about other people enjoying and liking and experiencing the same feelings that I was. At the time, I saw writing reviews as an act of sharing, an offering to people who could find the music and possibly fall in love. Then 2015 came along and something changed, all of a sudden, I realised that I could never impose what I like upon others. I am proud of my music taste, but of course there will always be people who disagree. I will continue to recommend music to those who ask and if you email me at finlay26may@yahoo.com, I can offer some artists you may like. I got into university last month and as part of my quickened growth since the moment I found out, I've learned that I don't need people to think how I do in order to be satisfied and happy with myself. If it took 2 years and over 30 reviews in order to teach me that... then it was still worth it. This is the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, and I can't wait to see what's around the corner. Happy Trails!
