What Music Discovery Can Lead You To

What is music? Music can be described in many different ways. Music for someone can be an inspiration, something you do for a pass time or it can be used as a way to express yourself in this musical world. Music consists of important key features that distinguish it from just an ordinary sound or noise. Music consists of rhythm, melody, and harmony to create musical texture and musical form. Most of us have a musical genre preference and though they can be different from our peers they consist of all these terms that let your music preference product be classified music.

A place to begin

Essentially in your search for your new beat or something you can share with your friends or keep to yourself begins with your current music preference. I know this seems like a very simple task... and it is but some tips can't hurt you on your search. In my own experience, searching for new music has been a difficult task because I'm particular about what I listen to, but that's usually based on my personality. What I recommend when you're searching for new music is to have an open mind, simple as that.

Tools to consider

We live in the time of the internet where you can pretty much find anything you need for your daily life. The internet is an excellent tool in your search for this new music artist you didn't know you loved. Many different resources, applications, and subscription services are available including some big names like Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, and iHeart Radio. Each of these with different features and search methods that can adapt to your searching methods, meaning you can use the one you like most to find new music you'll most certainly enjoy. Spotify, for example, is a monthly subscription which has many useful features that again, for example, has an algorithm that builds playlists based on your most played artists or music genre even recommending artists for you to listen. Essentially you don't have to use Spotify specifically but many other applications and subscriptions all offer similar features that will help you find the song you won't stop playing on repeat.

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.
