Stay In Tune

Why music is underrated.

Stay In Tune

To most people, music is just a form of entertainment or a noise to fill the room. To others, music is much more. It's funny how we interact as humans and how alike two strangers can be when given a certain topic. As you guessed, I'm going to talk about music. It's another language. It can connect two complete strangers on opposite sides of the world or it can connect two friends on a deeper level.

It's crazy how, when put together, sounds and words can change someone's life. Whether it inspires you or makes you think, it's up to you. That's the beauty of something so raw and unrelated is the fact it is open to interpretation. Knowing that there is something on this planet that has the ability to connect so many people is frightening, but at the same time comforting. Even if you are one of those people who do not completely feel the same way as some people about music, it's undeniable that music fills a void within us whether it be emotionally or just by changing the mood of a room.

We live in a world where we fight more then we get along and that's a scary thing. For something like music to allow for people to find common ground is one of those things that is over looked on so many levels. Besides that, it also shows the evolution of just how far we've come since the 19th century being that now music is easily accessible for everyone. I think I'm getting too technical but it is one of those things that does not get half the credit it deserves.

Whether you are a classical type of person or an EDM type of person, the beauty is that there is something for everyone. Everyone is able to find where they belong in a musical world, which is one of those things that makes you feel safe. To know that in a world that's so big, there is somewhere you belong and people you belong with; it is an overall place to call home. Am I saying music is home? Absolutely not, but it gives you a place to feel comfortable. Music gives you people who understand you in ways that other people may not. The beauty of that is when you can't find the words to vocalize how you feel, you can simply play a song and it's as if you poured your heart out without fully becoming vulnerable and still getting your point across. I think it is amazing how something can evolve so much yet still be the way it was. I mean, the same songs are still played now. Some things are timeless and I think it goes without saying that music is one of them. So put your favorite song on and just jam.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
