MUSIC IN MY LIFE

I´m not that kind person who needs music in everyday life, but it doesn´t mean that I don’t like it. I listen to the music mainly in the car or with my friends.  I like different styles of music- from classic one to metal. I prefer rock, melodic metal, punk and ska. I like also pop music which is ideal for parties. In the past I wasn’t into drums, but it changed. I am not very interested in rap or hip hop, but I don’t mind it. I don’t like people who reprobate people who don’t listen their favorite style of music, because everybody likes something different.

My favorite groups are: Metallica, Nickelback, Ska-P, Manuchao. I admire old rock groups as Queens or The Beatles, because their songs will never get old I think. My favorite singers are: Asaf Avidan, Karel Kryl, Johnny Cash or Damien Rice. Damien and Asaf were on Colours of Ostrava last year, but I haven´t got enough money to go there. I very regret it. Karel Kryl was a amazing gifted artist, who wasn’t afraid to tell the truth. I think that Daniel Landa absolutely ruined his songs, because he changed their meaning. I think that in the Czech Republic we have excellent musicians.

I am not a talented musician so I can´t play any musical instrument and I regret it very much. When I was in the first class I played the piano, but I had a very big problem with my teacher, so I stopped it. She was terrible: she screamed on me all the time and she hit my fingers with a pencil. When I was teenager I wanted to play in some rock group so I started to learn to play the guitar, but I am not very patient so I stopped very fast with it. I admire drummers a lot, because it is very hard for me to keep a rhythm. You have to do lots of things at once and it is something what I can´t to do.

My brother plays the piano as my mother. He has been playing for 8 years and it were hard times for me, because the piano was in my bedroom and I had to listen his practicing. He isn’t bad musician but he played ugly songs. I have no problem with classic music, but it were songs for practicing not for listening.

My mother is gifted musician, I think. She can play the piano and sing very nice. Time to time she compose something. She was the leader of folklore group in Metylovice. She rewrites hundreds of songs. At present she teaches music in elementary school. Thanks to my mother I know very big count of hikers´ songs, because when we were children, we spent evenings around the fire and sang.

Summer is the best season for music, I think. I prefer festivals to concerts because in the festivals there is much better atmosphere. You can make friends there and it can also be an adventure. Last summer there were amazing festivals in the Czech Republic.  I won tickets to Rock for People, but I have nobody to go there with me.  I really wanted to go there, because there were great groups as Billy talent or 30 seconds to mars. Last year I was at concert of Rocky Leon, which took place in Stone. Forerunner was Relevant. Both ones were great. Rocky is very energetic person and it was a great party. I think that there wasn´t a person who didn’t have a fun.
