Through music we are able to comprehend someone’s personality, their views, their culture, and who they are as an overall person. The music you listen to is a reflection of who you are and your own personal thoughts. As I reflect on the music I listen to I came to the conclusion that I gravitate towards songs that depict the emotions we feel through lyrics while being able to relate it to my own personal experiences. Throughout my entire life I’ve always been someone who constantly worries. It’s difficult for me to ever feel content with myself and my surroundings. Two years ago I discovered a song that I believe truly reflects who I am and captures the essence of how I feel on a daily basis. ‘’Ride’’ by Twenty-One Pilots emphasizes the aspects of my personality that I struggle with the most. The song beings to explain how Tyler Joseph, the vocalist, is constantly trying to find …show more content…
He strives for this feeling of liberation while remaining self-aware that life is composed of both good and bad moments in which you must learn to embrace both. Through my own personal experiences, I’ve been able to recognize this as well. We cannot control what happens to us, but we can learn to pace ourselves and take life day by day. I’m constantly reminding myself to not worry about the future and what it beholds yet rather learn to enjoy myself and live in the moment. One of the main reasons I connect with this song is because the chorus reflects on taking your time on the ‘’ride’’ that is your own life. I believe it’s important to not worry over something that hasn’t happened yet or may never happen. There’s no reason to rush our lives nor compare ourselves to others and how well they’re doing. I’ve learned it’s harmful to dwell on the future and forget to enjoy the moment. We should focus on ourselves and how you can achieve all you desire on your own
We’ve all been there before; being in one of the lowest point in your life, or having a joyous celebration. During these moments, we tend to listen to music that is similar to our feelings. When we’re sad, we listen to slower, moving songs; when we’re happy, we choose upbeat music; when we’re angry, we may listen to darker music that reflect our level of anger. The funny thing about it is that when you’re asked to name your favorite band or performer it might be difficult to even give your top five. You may not realize it, but you prefer to listen to music that resonates how we feel at one point.
In my paper, I argue that artists capture important insight in their personal experiences through music. In particular, I assert tha...
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.
Over the five months that I went to a sports psychologist, a framed quote that said “the only way out is through,” compelled me to continue sports psychology sessions. Yes, I went to a sports psychologist and yes it helped my mental blocks, self doubt, and anxiety. The theme of the song “44 Bars” by Logic is that it is possible to overcome adversity no matter how difficult or painful. One of beginning verses states, “It's kind of funny how life changed and rearranged. No matter what happens, everything ain't gon' be the same.” The meaning this verse is that life is going to be hard. It will present us will hard times and those hard time will shape us. Adversity changes us and our life. When I was seven years old I would never have imagined
For example, the narrator highlights the silver lining in many of his experiences throughout the song, claiming “A fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam” (9). Subsequently following it with, “It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand” (10). The narrator tells us he was robbed, yet it is okay because he learned a skill and a lesson. He knows he will not repeat the same mistake in the future, compared to someone who did not have the same negative experience. Having a positive outlook on life is essential for good mental health.

Music a part of me, memories splashed across the notes of my life. Wrapped in a rhythm, and kept with a beat. My emotions tucked in measures of composition, and words of free flowed tears, or happy warm hugs, and smiles. Each song is a remembrance of pain, anguish, love, fun sorrow, regret, and happiness. Sometimes all at the same time, yet songs have captured it in their elements.

Music according to Merriam Webster dictionary can be defined as “the science and art of ordering tones in succession, combination, and in temporal relationships to produce having unity and continuity. The dictionary made me understand that for music to be meaningful, it must have an agreeable sound. Music depicts a lot of information, ideas, knowledge and importantly feelings. People who make or produce music definitely have a way they feel before they begin to sing or before they make a decision to sing. A popular musician, Bob Marley said, “one good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” The familiarity of a song can determine the way you feel about the song. Familiarity plays a great role, it underpins our engagement with
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
Making it to the top is something I have always wanted to make it to the top and be successful. No matter what I’m doing: getting ready for a big football game, taking a shower, or just relaxing in my bed, I always have this song playing. Anytime I feel down and lonely, I listen to my favorite song. The line “we finally moving, we all on the road” reminds me that no matter how I’m feeling or what I’ve done in life, god will always help me and push me to chase my dream. It also reminds me of simpler times, sitting at home with my family going through the struggle with nothing to eat. I learned that music, god family and music is just like a number one fan, there
Music, a form of art, made up of unique and special sounds containing elements of pitch and rhythm can powerfully soothe one’s soul. Firstly, there are different types of music, and each has its own features. These sounds and features are what I admire in music because to me it creates a new form of communication to one’s consciousness. It stimulates our mind and gives it a sense of harmony and peace through the hardships that life poses for us. As a kid, I would always listen to music from any genre, deciding which genre would complement me the most as I grew older. In middle school, I remember going on the computer and finding a website/program where I could make my own beats. From that day on, I spent countless of hours each day making sure the tune sounded proper and pleasurable for my ears. At first, it wasn’t good, but eventua...
For me personally, music appreciation is defined as looking at different pieces of music and musical forms, and learning to find appreciation for them. This appreciation is formed not only by listening to several pieces of music, but by learning to understand what you may be listening too. This involves introducing yourself to many pieces of music and learning to interpret, what makes each piece different and unique. Understanding the historical background and societal changes that have taken place during the creation of the musical piece, is also an important factor to consider. Music is not only creative, but it also makes up part of a societies history. Music is an art form that connects different societies and cultures together, it possess the amazing ability to make us into one.
