Hello all, My name is Mariah, and I love listening to music. I've always been a lyrics person. For whatever reason my brain just saves words from songs. Music has been ever present since I was a kid when it was used as a fun distraction during cleaning chores. My dad liked Weird Al and rock music. My mom played Fleetwood Mac (Rest in Peace Christine McVie) and pop. As an adult, I listen to music to celebrate when I'm happy, to cry when I grieve, to make it through long bus rides to work and everything in between. When I want to be in a good mood, I pick modern pop songs or 80s music (Pat Benatar, Blondie, or Bon Jovi). If I am in the car for a short while I listen to pop music, like Lizzo, Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran. However, some of my favorite music is the punk/ alt pop/ emo music that I first listened to in high school. Some examples are Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Something Corporate (and everything else Andrew McMahon has been a part of), Paramore, and more recently With Confidence, and State Champs. What are your favorite music genres, songs, or bands? Do you like lyrics or the melody most? Do you have a favorite concert experience?   If you are enjoying this conversation, I'd recommend also joining the Welcome Corner to introduce yourself, pick up tips and tricks, and connect with other members.  Please keep an eye out for other posts for #SAPCommunity24 and find out more about it the original blog post.
