Music is one of the most important and powerful things in my life. My life without melodies and harmonies would be totally empty. Listening to and playing different tunes helps me to relax and it can also help to motivate me in trying times. I love listening to music since I were a young boy. I think it is like the memoirs to my life as it has been there throughout everything with me.
When I was younger, I have the great love for musical as I do now. I mainly listened to whatever was playing in the background or what my parents were listening to. I do care for the musical compositions. There was sometimes a little bit of pop music thrown in to the mix here and there, but that’s really all I liked back then. At the time I didn’t care for that genre of music much, but now as I’m older, I enjoy it as it allows me to reminisce on memories from times of my childhood. Once I hit my teenage years music became my life and gradually started to inhibit my soul. I believe music has the ability to convey all sorts of emotion. Whether the emotion is joy and happiness or sadness and despair through rhythms, harmonies and the lyrics music shows it.
The effect that music can have on our emotions is tremendous, as it can bring people to floods of tears or bursts of laughter. The musical images that music and song are able to create are amazing. Music has the ability to transport me back in time just like a time machine. It lets me revisit lost and forgotten moments in life. Songs can paint a picture, for example, the music in classical music tells a story without lyrics which is an immensely powerful thing.
I feel that this applies to the saying “music imitates life and life imitates music”.
Recently song writing has wandered its way into my life. I believe there is no better way to express myself or yourself than through song. Listening to other musical artists that I like gives me inspiration. I believe music effects people in many different ways. To me music is more than just something to listen to or play, it’s something to feel. I think it brings me closer to my friends and family. I also feel that it helps me or anyone else to get through things.
Pain is temporary. Quitting lasts forever.
