He has showed me a path by creating friendships through his music with his indie rock band since the beginning of my rebellious teenage life. His music might not be as enjoyable as popular music today, but he has influenced me to believe that it’s okay to be different from others and accept reality through a different perspective. His music has exposed me to even greater musician artist such as Bob Marley, Lou Reed, Alex Turner, Morrissey, Miles Kane and many more. I can truly say that his music has greatly changed my life by helping me express myself for who I am. He is a very talented vocalist for the band The Strokes and forever will be my role model.
I always have them on me and they are portable and easy to carry around wherever I decide to go. Even though they are easy to carry around, they are also easy to lose, but can easily be replaced. Also they come in endless colors and shapes. Those of us, who were lucky to have been born with the sense of hearing, use them every day since we can listen to our favorite musician artists. Once the music flows through its spiral body, it creates a sensation of comfort and relaxation within our mind. For an instant, they are able to mute the real world and let us journey through an endless sensation of expressing our feelings through music. They are not only use to connect to portable devices such as a phone, mp3 or any other mobile device, but as well to connect us to a community of people who share the same interest as us. They create an extension of yourself that you will never regret as well.
