Music has always been a part of you. You've been in choir or a band ever since you can remember, and you've been performing for friends and family since you were tiny. Not only is music such a part of your life, it's a part of your family's too, and you're happy to share it with them. Your whole family is characterized by their musical ability. Here are some things that are probably true if you grew up in a musical family:

1. Everyone swears you can keep a beat because of how your parents rocked you and pat your butt as a baby.

2. Even if you’re super talented, someone else in your family is probably better.

3. Everyone wants your family to be like the Von Trapps on the Sound of Music and sing concerts together.

4. Long car rides probably consist of lots of harmony and drumming on the backs of the seats.

5. You might hate how loud your house is sometimes, but every one of your friends thinks it’s magical to come to a place where everyone sings.

6. "Happy Birthday" sounds the best in your family, although the melody gets a little lost in the midst of everyone's elaborate harmonies.

7. Musicals make up the bulk of the family movie collection.

8. One of your siblings pretends they aren’t musical, but you all know it’s an act. The singing in the shower proves it.

9. You start singing harmony at the same time. It never fails. Why can’t anyone ever just stick with the melody and let you have your moment?

10. You don’t understand how anyone could have musical talent and tone-deaf parents.

11. Even if you were shy, everyone tried to make you sing as a kid because they knew you had it in you. After all, the rest of the family could do it.

12. Your parents sang the words to any story book that rhymed.

13. Whenever you go over a bridge on a road trip, you all hold a random note and then laugh at how bad it sounds.

14. Cooking doesn’t happen in your kitchen half as much as singing and dancing does.

15. People think you sing back and forth to each other around the house instead of speaking. That may or may not be true.

16. You try to one up each other with how loudly you can belt.

17. If you weren’t in chorus at some point, you were most likely in band, orchestra, or musical theater.

18. Your music tastes may be different, but you can all get a little crazy over some Disney songs.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
