If you get online and google what the definition of music is, you'll mostly find that it's just a combination of sounds made by instruments and voices that mix together to form some type of rhythm. Although, I believe that music is much more than that. To me, music isn't just a bunch of sounds. It can bring out emotions in people and set a certain mood with just the sounds created from it. I mean look at television and movies. Almost every scene has music playing in the background, including the trailer. The music can set the entire tone for a movie or television show. It has the power to make you feel it rather than just listening to it. It can change the way you look at or picture a scene, which is pretty cool.
The lyrics in music also hold a lot of power. Lyrics can inspire and sometimes people can relate to what is being said, which can really help people to get through something they may be going through. Certain songs can literally change someone's life by changing their perspective on something, and that is so incredible to me.
Music also allows people to express themselves in such a beautiful, entertaining way. It allows people to tell a story or express the way they feel about something in a unique form. Not only that, but music is fun. There's a reason people go to concerts and play music at dances and dance their butts off at a music festival. Music makes people happy. It can be happy, sad, emotional, and more. It can tell a story, or be an escape, or perhaps even guide someone through a certain time in their life. It is so much more and can do so much more than just making sounds and rhythm. Most of all, sometimes music speaks when words can't, and I think that's really important.
