Of course you have.

And because lots of new music comes out of the English speaking world, I thought we could have a little fun talking about this very popular topic.

I have several core memories of my first year in America around 1998 and 1999.

Instead of treated, we get tricked.

Instead of kisses, we get kicked.

Hard knock life in this context means a difficult life, a life full of intense struggle.

The good thing about moving to America at such a young age was that when new artists would come out with new music, I would be learning about them in real time with everyone else, which meant that I quickly became part of that culture.

First thing that comes to mind when I think of the word music is playing instruments.

To continue with the theme of early memories tied to music, I'm going to tell you one more quick little story.

An orchestra also usually plays only classical music, while a band plays more contemporary type of music.

I remember learning Eye of the Tiger by Survivor when I was in the school band.

The flute felt very soft and feminine, so I decided to go with it.

I specifically remember him asking me, but how do you learn about the meaning of words that don't come up every day?

Of course, it's much easier to do if you move to another country.

Sheet music is the written version of the music.

When I think of sheet music, I think of what's called a musical score.

A score is the written version of each part of an orchestra.

Although some artists or songs under those two genres may see some popularity internationally, the majority of their listeners live only in certain areas of the States.

Sometimes I put on one of the playlists on Spotify under the focus category and it helps my mind relax.

Most of the time, choosing what to listen to will depend on your mood.
