I heard Vanessa Carlton's new album came out months ago - unfortunately I was on vacation at the time to fully sit down and listen to her.
I kept a note to remind myself to take a listen again. She has such an influence on me, and it really does touch my heart to know that she's still making music.
Although she isn't as popular or particularly following the style of artists today - that's exactly what I love about her. Her lyrics, piano, style is all and all warming to the soul.
I usually don't get easily excited,
but she really has made an impact on me.

Music has taken a leap through time. With every generation there's always that new sound - which in particular seems to be techno/trance/dance music lately. Although I have no problem with the music of today, It really is uplifting to go backwards in time and listen to the change in sound. How different everything has been.
It's very difficult to find an artist that can truly impact you, to name a few: Adele, Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, The Script. Whenever I listen to the radio and hear songs that hold a secret meaning ; example: Foster the People, it's like an epiphany.
Music isn't dead. Listening to music will always give you that same meaning: with time, things change. Life changes, music changes, you change. Although your life only shortens with each breath you take, it's always nice to appreciate and notice the little things.
