The Importance of Music
Music fills the voids everywhere you are. Whether its a long walk with your headphones in, a car ride, or trip to the food store, music is always there. I start and end my day listening to music. Music brings me motivation to get daily tasks done. My favorite thing about music is how it can change my mood. When an artist writes a song and their lyrics describe how I'm feeling perfectly, that is what music is about to me.
Discussing the role of importance that music has in class, opened my eyes to see different perspectives music brings. People listen to different kinds of music, or use music as a tool for different objectives. For example, people use the strong beats and lyrics to prepare for a game or stressful test. People from all different backgrounds can meet on the same conclusion that music is powerful and used every day.
Music has dated back for as long as history goes. Although for a time, it was seen as dangerous. This shocked me, because I couldn't imagine a world without my favorite music. The world would be a very boring and dull place without it. Music has brought unity and inspiration throughout the years including the 9/11 video we watched in class. That video was very moving for me as a viewer, and goes to show how compelling songs can be. I look forward to expanding my knowledge on music throughout this course.

I relate to the fact that music can change our moods, and that it creates a sense of unity. It's really intriguing to think about the fact that throughout history, music has been one of the only constant things that everyone can relate to. Even though everyones music taste is not the same.
ReplyDeleteI liked the connection you made between the overall importance of music, like how it was used to unify and inspire people around the time of 9/11, and the importance it plays in our everyday lives. Very easy to understand and relate to.
ReplyDeleteIt also took me by surprise that at times music was considered dangerous, but back then societies were more strict and I guess music does have enough power to threaten or disrupt their daily codes of conduct.
