What is it about music that just grabs the attention and emotions of people? Why do so many people like music? Music can have all different kinds of meanings, depending on the type of person you are. Music can be calming and relaxing to some, while for others, music can be their getaway from reality. There are many different kinds of music for anyone to enjoy. Music can have a more deeper meaning than just having sounds and words that fit together like a puzzle.
When people think of music they only think about the sound being created or the lyrics that match the sound; although, only some people can catch the message and meaning behind the music and lyrics. Many, if not all songs, come with a hidden meaning. Sometimes a message is sent through the specific word choice the musician composed. The lyrics of a song can provide an explanation, a story, or even a memory of that musician's life or possibly about someone else's life. The music can be about a love story, a tragedy, a happy or sad memory, an experience, a life-changing journey and so much more.
Music can't just be formed from throwing together words and creating a random beat, hoping it sounds like music. Music takes time and effort. Music needs passion and love to be successfully created. Music is a way to express feelings that some people may have a hard and challenging time saying; music can also be a way to just simply let out everything, any and all emotions or thoughts in one's mind. Some people may have a difficult time expressing their feelings, but with the help of music it all seems to get a little easier and more comfortable with yourself around others.
At some time in your life you need relaxation. Listening to your favorite song can get you in a more cheerful mood, or listening to some classical music can make studying a little less stressful, or just jamming out to some loud music can make you smile (and possibly lose your hearing). People listen to certain types of music because it helps identify what kind of person they are. Music can express what type of person you by what you listen to and how often you listen to that particular type of music. We all have all of our favorite types of music, all of our favorite songs, and all of our most hated versions of remixes. More up-beat songs can mean you're a more energetic and fun person while sad and scary music can mean you're upset about something, more than likely a wrong choice you've committed or a person, including yourself.
When I listen to music, all negative thoughts suddenly disappear. I'm in my own trans, my own world, where nothing and no one can disturb me. Music helps me calm down and forget about everything that's happening in our society. It's a peaceful, relaxing, and soothing feeling that I receive from listening to the soft sound of music. I know I am not the only one who feels something when listening to music. Everyone is different though. Depending on the type of music you're listening to and what particular song is being played, different emotions can be brought out of a person. Music is more than just words people memorize and sing out loud, it's a way for people to know what kind of person they are.
This blog post was truthful and very relatable for many people. I actually thought about making music the topic for one of my blog posts one week! The rhetorical questions you used at the beginning were effective in pulling your reader in. Music is something just about everybody listens to, and sometimes people don't realize how music affects them, but your questions challenged them to think about that. I completely agree that music can effect your emotions and change the way you are feeling at the time, and I do believe that music is a way for people to discover who they are truly are. I have also noticed that music helps one associate with others and it is something to have in common with others, as well. Friends and people you associate with often tend to have the same interest in music. I know this first hand and it see within others around me. Because music helps to define who you are, it shapes you as a person and allows you to interact with others who share similar interests. The thing that amazes me most about music though is how it change your mood and I notice this most in movies. I love listening to movie soundtracks and seeing how the producers fit certain songs into the movie because it really adds to the mood and story being told. The way a song and its words fit perfectly with a scene in a movie is just fascinating to me and I know that the song adds to the overall emotions that are trying to be portrayed. This is just one reason for people to like movies, but I agree with you that there are many more reasons to like it!
