With music, I'm kind of weird. I don't hate Justin Bieber, but I don't like to listen to him that much. I dislike rap with a passion. It's too aggressive for me, it leaves me feeling angry. Also, I don't find anything musical about a man or a woman saying words so fast you can't understand anything. I love the Beatles and Oasis. However, I still know every word to every Taylor Swift, Avril Lavigne, and Maroon 5 song.You must be thinking, "Aren't you too young for the Beatles?" or "How can you like Taylor Swift? She's so whiny." Well, I like what I like. That may seem weird to you, but that's how it is for me. I do not conform. Sometimes, I try but I never succeed.
Music is a part of a persons identity. The words that have been heard over and over again by the same person until it is a part of a soul, will be heard by millions of others. It units the world. It is a constant in a world that doesn't have many constants. Things are always changing, but a song remains the same. Forever.
Which is more important, the lyrics to a song or the instrumental part? Everybody has a different answer. If you had asked me that question a few months ago, I would have said obviously the lyrics. What's more beautiful in a song than the words that you've heard so many times before but never in this certain way? Maybe it's because I've loved words and their ability to have a meaning since the beginning of time. If you asked me that question today, I would not be able to answer. Words are beautiful, yes. However, instrumentals are words for the soul.
How amazing is the human mind? It takes sounds that are placed one after another and makes it meaningful. I used to think that classical music was boring, but it isn't. It allows your mind to wander into the world of sounds, which isn't unlike from the world of words. I think just like words, sounds have stories. Sometimes, it just takes a little longer to comprehend them.
Some say that music can save lives. I don't doubt them. When a person is all alone, he doesn't feel like dancing around the room because life is amazing. Nope. However, put that same person in a room with loud, dance-able music. You now have a person who is enjoying life, even though he is all alone. Like I have previously said, music is a constant. It's always there. If you listen to a song twenty times a day because you love it, you will still have access to that same song in 40 years. Music will always be there, even if everything changes. That is what makes music, magic.
