The playback late night, Brooklyn, a pot of coffee, and a chair by the window. Im listening too mix tape from 1993. This is Sheffield first line in his story of how his life is the connection to not only the world but the fuck of his life. The love of music is a connection most everyone finds themselves having.

Sheffield peg. 6. zip fastener connects to the moment comparable music Sheffield peg. 12. This sentence in the book is nothing but true. Most people remember the memories thieve had or the time something took position beca drug abuse of the song they projectd or were listening to during that event. Many of times I name related things to music and brought the musical connection into my life. Sheffield talks about how in that location were numerous of different mix tapes for different things like tapes for making out, dancing, falling asleep, doing the sizes and even walking the dog.I can personally connect to what he Is stating because I have a plastic for most of the things I do working out, driving In my car, depressing plastic, playbills for certain concerts Im going to, shower plastic and so many more. I believe people have these playbills or mix tapes for certain things because it Just goes with that moment in time and it seems like it Just fits, so I totally understand where Sheffield Is coming from. In the book Sheffield says, Missy wrote a note to biggie in her booklet Rest in peace, Big.I hope you can hear my album, wherever you rest. I felt the same government agency. Sheffield peg. 1 68. This hit me in a deferent way than it may have hit other people. My booster committed seclude and every time I listen to his favorite songs or songs that were played at his funeral I wonder if hes looking down at me seeing me jam out to the songs and knowing I still care and think about him all the time. I also am the same way with my Great Grandma, every time I hear the song played at her funeral, I sit there and Just think about all of the great times we had when she was here.I feel like I had a special connection to Sheffield at this part of the book. Although some people use music as a connection to their lives, other people find 1 OFF something else that meaner a lot to them to connect their elite too. A lot to people use books, writing, television shows and even reading to connect themselves to the world. Personally I use music as a connector to the world and Just life itself because like Sheffield stated in his book, every mix tape tells a story, if you put it together all music has a story to tell.I couldnt agree more. Some people may not look at it that way, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I couldnt have said it a better way. Music may be taken in a different perspective by everyone, but no matter who you are, where you want to go in life, or what may be going on in your life right now, there will always be a song that can help you cope with your feelings. til now if music isnt your getaway, there will always be something you can relate to and lean on when things get a little harder than you expected.
