When Music first entered my life, I was very young. Long car rides were no bore for me. I was always chilling in the back seat of our 8 passenger mini van listening to the best of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Deep Purple, or Alice Cooper. Head bopping was never an embarrassment and neither was singing right along to the best of Super tramp. My love for music has brought me through the tough times in life, it has celebrated with me at birthdays, it has cried with me at funerals and been in suspense with me as I awaited lectures and grades. Music has been my best friend who has never left my side when things got hard, it has never judged me, mocked me, or hurt me. Music is the sweetest melody that tells my story.
Music was always an open friend to

As I came home every evening, I would grab hold of my life line, my ear buds. I would plug them into my radio and tilt my head back and look into the icy blue sky and I would let the music flood my brain. My problems would melt away slowly in the beat of the music. I noticed that as my life continued and I continued to push forward and live and breathe every day, my music taste changed from the innocent children songs to something much more fierce. It was no longer the cleanhanded pop that played on the radio but instead I stepped out of my comfort zone and experimented with much more bitter music. Blameshift, Sixx AM, Get Scared, Like a storm, Nine Lashes. Anything to bring my tormented heart some anesthesia.
I am now seventeen, as I look back on this rugged path I have taken in my life I see myself, I see me, laying in a puddle of my own tears, I see me, struggling to stand, running, falling and getting back up, crying myself to sleep, laughing with my friends and family. Music has saved my life more than I can count. I can now stand strong and look back at my pain and know that I have learned from it. I was a prey to grief and depression. But as one of my favorite song artist
Over time I began to utilize music’s powers as a form of self-therapy. I remember recently doing this to help me get over the pain of an awful breakup. I was the most depressed that I have ever been in my life. I no longer wished to talk to or hang out with my friends, I no longer enjoyed any of my favorite activities, and all I wanted to do was sleep all day. I was miserable. Finally, I could not take it anymore. I had to do something to fix it and fast so I decided to turn to my most trusted therapist to do the job: my iTouch.
Music is a large consumption of my daily life and the artists I listen to have shaped me in some way. Listening to music is one of my most time
Nothing lasts forever. Everything, whether good or bad has to come to an end. But people do say that sounds and voices do not die. Melodies we hear in our life lives on for generations and ever after. No matter who we are or wherever we come from; in whichever situation we were in, at some point of our lives, we have come across certain melodies that still live in our heart. And I am no different from others. There are certain musical pieces that have not only influenced my life, but have made a significant impact to change me for the better.
Music is something that I believe we could not live without. There is a quote by a philosopher named Friedrich Nietzschethat says “without music, life would be a mistake”. I interpret this to mean that humans would not be creative if it were not for music. There is a reason that music can take us where word cannot. When you hear so many different sounds coming together to make a perfect harmony it is obvious that no words can make you feel the same way as the music. The best thing about music is that there are literally too many genres to choose from. There are different genres of music for any mood you are in. The origins behind these different genres is an interesting and rich history that is begging to be studied and written about. Let me explain....
Throughout my life, music has always been a major influence. It has the power to change my mood when I'm feeling down, but the thing I find most intriguing about music is that it doesn't always end up improving your mood: like all forms of art, it imitates life, which is not always portrayed in a positive light. The musicians that I admire most have the versatility to induce several different emotional responses in the same piece. This quality is present in most of the wide variety of music I listen to, from Russian composer Dmiti Shostakovich, to Chicago jazz band Tortoise, to California pop/rock sextet Mr. Bungle.
My love for music has kept me afloat through many tribulations throughout my life. When I was younger I was fascinated with the concept of music theory. This love led me to play recorder, piano, and now guitar. I love the freedom that music allows one when composing an original piece. There are so many genres and aspects of music to choose that one can never be bored. With my music, I feel I am able to paint a vivid story of my life. As the notes carry my thoughts and passions, I am able to share my hopes and dreams with anyone who would stop and listen. I hope to improve my skills in the future and work on sharing my love for music with others. There's no better feeling than composing and preforming ones own
What comes up into your mind when the idea of music is mentioned? Some perceive it as a blissful escape from the problems of life. Some perceive it as a fun memory spent with friends. Some take is as a peaceful relaxation. Music is an amazing concept, an art of expression through sounds .Without music, the world would not be as expressive, the world would not be as memorable, the world would not be the same.
Music helped me realized that i am an auditory learner and helped me become a better multitasker what with musical, school work, and ski team happening all in the same season. Learning new pieces has always been a great experience for me and i’ve loved every
Since the earliest days of human civilization music has been a key tool for communication of stories which carried emotions through them. If we think back to our youngest years of life music has surrounded us whether it was from our parents singing us lullabies or from some sort of toy that played music we can say that musical melodies have helped shape or lives one way or another. Once we start growing up and figuring out who we are our musical preferences change; some people like classical and some like punk. We start to befriend people who like the same music as us and eventually we may attend a musical event. Our lives somewhat revolve around the music that we listen to.
Having music in your life is very important. Music is one of the most powerful things in the world today. Many people make a lot of money making music because of its popularity. It may not be the same genre of music, but everybody likes it. Personally music helps me from day to day. When I am stressed I listen to it to calm me down. When I am sad I listen to it to make me happy. When my spirit is down I listen to gospel to bring it back up. Without music I do not know what I would do. I believe that there is music for every person and problem they may have. It helps me, and I know it will help
Ever since I was a small child, I have loved music. The strong, steady beats, the
Music is the third most important thing to me in life outside of god and my mom. Music keeps me balanced. Every since I was a baby music was played around me. Jazz was always played around me to soothe me. There would be times when I would be really hyper acting like I couldn't sleep, my mom would put on some jazz and I would be fine. A lot of times I can have a long chore and I say to my self how can I accomplish this, Knowing it will take me forever. So I'll put on some jazz music and in twenty-five minutes I'm finished.
Music is that one friend that will always be there and will never judge us. It changes and has a huge impact on lives tremendously. There will always be that one song that can make a person get up and go. Sometimes, when we are sick it helps to take away some of the sorrow, pain, and it comforts us the best way it can. (White)
Music is one of the most fantastical forms of entertainment. Its history stretches all the way from the primitive polyrhythmic drums in Africa to our modern day pop music we listen to on our phones. It has the ability to amaze us, to capture our attention and leave us in awe. It soothes the hearts of billions, and it is so deeply rooted in my life that it has touched my heart as well. Everyday I walk to the beat of the song stuck in my head and hum along to the melody. For me, to listen to music be lifted into the air by the hands of your imagination and float around for a while. You forget about your worries, your troubles and find peace within the sound. Every chapter in my life is attached with a song. Every time I listen to a certain song, thoughts of my past come flooding back
Music has always been a big part of my life. Music is not just a bunch of melodies, rhythms, and vibrant sounds. It is a comfort to me. The lyrics of a song challenge my intellect and the rhythms and beats affect my emotions. Music understands me when people don’t. At times it takes me back to an event in my life or even in history. Both consciously and subconsciously my mind remembers the emotions that are attached to a certain song. It can make me feel on top of the world or the complete opposite; music can change the atmosphere and also set the mood. Music has power over my human soul. It soothes it. I cannot imagine not having music to listen to. It is a powerful force and my love for it is incredible.
