Listening to music for most people can be a way to get away and express yourself. Depending upon your music taste the genres can vary, but all music has a way of influencing our lives. Here are just a few of many reasons why I believe we wouldn’t be where we are today without music.
Music…
- Motivates you
If you are about to workout or go do a speech for class, music can pump you up and encourage you to keep going.
- Inspires you
When listening to a song, usually people try to relate the lyrics to a situation in their own life. In this instance sometimes you will find yourself figuring out a big life problem or even deciding to try something new.
- Affects your mood
If you are in a bad mood listening to music can affect how you feel and your mood can even affect what music you choose to listen to.
- Can brighten your day
On days you are feeling down, you can always listen to one of your favorite songs and know that it can be the thing to put a smile back on your face.
- Can cause dancing
Depending on the type of music and the type of mood you are in, if the song is good enough and you want to express your happiness, dancing might occur.
- Is a universal language
No matter where you go, there is something about the rhythm of song that brings people together.
- Makes parties more enjoyable
Without music, parties would be pretty boring and there might be less parties as a result to avoid awkward silence.
- Gives movies emotion
In movies, having a background song that hits the viewers heart strings can really bring the overall piece to life.
- Reminds you of the past
Whether the song reminds you of the best weekend with your friends or a past relationship, music always has a way of sticking with us.
I think these points highlight how music is not just something you listen to to fill awkward silence, but a medium through which feelings, passion and happiness is expressed.
