The Power Of Music
Why does certain music make us feel some type of way?
Do you ever get that feeling when you hear a good song for the first time and instantly feel like the song is describing your life, instantly makes you want to dance, or reminds you of a specific memory? I feel that on a daily basis and it's super powerful.
Personally, I enjoy listening to rap and alternative music because they are on totally different spectrums, yet I can enjoy both of them equally. Rap helps me let loose of anything I'm worried about, while also bringing out the dancer in me when I go out or have random dance parties in my room. Alternative, on the other hand, is very soothing and mellow. I tend to listen to alternative music when I'm studying or when I'm in one of those sappy moods. There's no in-between when it comes to my music preferences.
Although music can help in many ways, I find it really crazy how one song can bring me back to a specific memory. When this happens I can remember the time, place and sometimes even the smell. It's freaky how powerful a song can be. Some songs can make you really happy or really sad all because of one specific memory.
If you look at Spotify for example, there seems to be a song out there for every mood you're encountering. It's relieving in a way to feel like you aren't the only one who's feeling a certain way because a specific song explains almost exactly how you're feeling. That's the beauty of music.
No matter how good or bad your day is, just remember you have some good ass music out there that can speak volume to you on so many levels way better than a person can most times.
