This week I would like to talk about music. Music is extremely powerful and has a huge impact on people around us and the world. It brings the world together through emotional connections as well as likings of certain types of music or artists. Music is the output of a way to interpret our feelings and live through experiences with one another. Music is a way to connect with the people around you as well as connecting to the artist of the song. Sometimes I try to imagine life without music. As a songwriter myself, and one who loves to listen and play music, I don’t know where I would be. I don’t know what I would do without music. Music is my way to express myself and live through the best of times and the worst of times. Music impacts so many different things. Even when it comes to movies, the music behind the scene influence the tone of the scene dramatically, and it’s unbelievable to see how impactful it is and what it does to the scene in the movie. In certain horror movies, all of the contents that you see are fake and it’s just your mind playing games with you. The music helps the scene build up with suspense and completely tells you how to feel as you watch it. Every single piece of music is completely different and proposes a new story and tone to the listener. Every songwriter’s story is so vastly different from the people around them. Every single person experiences something different each day and every person has a way of expressing it, whether it is through art or a sport or some other type of media that helps them cope with their daily experiences. Every song has a different effect on each person and will eventually affect how you go about your day. Music also influences other writers to write a certain way. Certain artists can have such a huge impact on some people that it can influence them to have a new outlet. Music helps the world stay together and find a way to represent the time. Music keeps our history and creates a timeline. It keeps our history and our past strong by bringing the music into the present. The Beatles, as one of the most influential artists of all time, have kept our history alive by having their music still be listened to and admired today. Listening to music from the past is like stepping into a time machine and reliving what the listeners in the past were living. Music is what keeps the world together and keeps people connected with one another, and I couldn’t be more thankful for that.
