Music holds all of the emotions

 

It seems so silly how different songs can strike different emotions. Try listening to an upbeat song, it’s hard not to bounce to the beat a little, or shake your head and make insane faces at your favorite parts. Then listen to a slow dreary song, it seems almost like your whole day changes, you begin to see the sadness in everything. Then listen an oldie but a goody like uptown girl and memories of all the times you heard that song come to you with a great impact.

When you hear a song and when memories come with it, It seems like the memories are just that much more vivid because the song helps you remember specifically what was going on at that time. For example I only seem to remember the times when I was really little when I think of the songs that where always playing. I think of the songs, “you’re my best friend”, and, “good ole boys like me”, by Don Williams and I seem to remember things much more clearly. Of course when I was super little I didn’t know the names of the song but I still remember their melodies and the way they made me feel.

Music also gives inspiration, when I am listening to music a get more ideas. I think it gives you the push to do things though, more than anything. Like when my room is a mess and I really don’t want to clean it, if I put some music on I am more willing to clean and I do it more efficiently because it helps me to concentrate on my room because the sound seems to block out everything else.

One thing I don’t get about music is how people can listen to it while studying or doing homework. I just want to listen to the words of the song or sing along so badly that I only concentrate on the song and not the homework that needs to get done.

Imagine a commercial or movie without music. It would change the whole feel that it gives. Say there is a commercial selling perfume and there is no music, how many people less would buy the perfume would you think? I say it would be a lot less because the perfume would seem a lot less attractive to the buyers.

            It amazing how if you listen to holiday song in the dead of the summer they still make you happy just because they are like the stimulus in your brain that makes you remember the good times. Music just has such a great impact on every person, no matter who you are or what you have been through. (457)
