An anonymous post on pinterest sums up my feelings on music well, “My music will tell you more about me than I ever will.” The music I listen to describes me in ways I cannot.When people ask me to tell them about myself it has always been difficult. I have never been the type of person to talk heavily about myself to my peers. If you listen to the music I listen to you would be able to tell what kind of person I am. You could tell the types of things and songs that make me happy, upset, or angry, without me telling you. The songs that would play in my life are songs that I am deeply connected to. They are the songs that make my modes pull at 180 when I listen to them. When I was a little kid there was one song that I knew word by word. I didn 't need the music to be able to sing it. That song was “Mississippi Girl” by Faith Hill. I am not for sure why I was so attached to this song. It is not like it was my parents favorite song that I listen to day after day. The only time I listen to it was on the radio and if someone would change the song I would throw a fit until they turned it back on. I was six years old and could recite it word for word. I can still recite it word for word even though I haven’t heard it in a while. One of the big reasons I like this song is because it makes me happy. It reminds me of my childhood. When I was a child, I did not know what the song really meant, but once I got older I realized what it meant. This song is about someone who is not going
I chose this song because, in my opinion, it has a good thesis that backs up the song lyrics and it gives you a positive feeling. Basically, the song is telling us to always keep our faith and stay strong no matter what. It encourages people to
Music plays a big role in my life. I listen to it everyday. Music helps me process what emotions I am feeling that day. Emotions such as anger, happiness, depression and anxiety. For example in 2011 my commanding officer for young marines died. Then three month later my grandfather passed away. Everything felt hopeless, I was depressed and
There are many different kinds of music today, but I seem to connect more to those that make me ponder on about life. At times I look to music for guidance when making a decision. . Music can turn on and turn off the brain. It simply allows ourselves to manifest a connection between the song and our emotions. In the novel Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older Robbie is a character that I
One of the largest parts of my life for the past few years has been music. I has been like a home and it definitely provides a connection for me. Many of my favorite songs are relatable to me in some way. They may describe an aspect of my life, or even a specific way that I feel. Having this thing that I can relate to and actually understand is such an amazing thing.
Music is something in my life that has been very important to me. Music is something that people bond over day by day and interact with. Music is something that can be one on one with an individual person in every mood. “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain” (Bob Marley). Twenty One Pilots has been, and will forever be, one of my favorite bands. This song has a very deep meaning and it makes me very emotional listening to it sometimes but it is truly beautiful. “I feel for you but when did you believe you were alone?” (Twenty One Pilots, Friend, Please). This quote came off of another song they wrote on this same album, this is talking about love and depression and through all the pain and misery you are not alone
people’s lives in a very unique way. Everyone experiences music differently; what can be a sad
Music surrounds people everywhere they go: in the car, at football games, on TV commercials, and in waiting rooms. Our personality is an indicator of what kind of music it is that we choose to surround ourselves with. Furthermore, the music we surround ourselves with has multiple effects on both our bodies and our brains. Whether it puts us in a good mood or distracts us from something more important, music has both positive and negative effects on us. Music can be used as a tool to facilitate so much of our experience in this world.
Music is something that can impact a person’s life in a negative or positive way. Ways it impacts my life is by how it helps me exercise, how it tells my story, and how it helps me relax.
The purpose of this research was to explain the different reasons why people use music. It talked about personality linked to musical preference. Editors from this text explained how they use songs to tune their inner lives. Jay,Nando,Carlin,Matt, and Greg all shared reasons for why they listen to the types of music they do. “People with higher iqs, who are more intellectual and open are more likely to appreciate music in a rational, cognitive way. They focus on musical complexity, and appraise music with a critical ear. They are less moved by what they hear. People who are more introverted, neurotic, and less conscientious use music more for emotional regulation.” (Isaacson, 2007).
I grew up listening to music everyday not knowing it would save my life in the end... the words that I would listen to would somehow connect with how I was feeling or what I was going through. Music truly soothes the soul and just somehow gives you hope to continue on or to stop something. I think I related my problems to the songs, it would give me comfort knowing I wasn't the only one who was feeling the way I once was. It showed me life was worth living and fighting for. Take Demi Lovato for instant, she was going through major depression and found herself through the music she would produce. A lot of artist are actually like this and only some really come out and tell their true story on how music saved them. It's incredible to know that no matter what you're going through someone, somewhere has gone through it too.
One reason I chose this song was because it gives me hope. When something goes wrong, I will usually put my earbuds in and listen to this song. If I don’t have my earbuds, I will think of my family because they give me hope to get back up and try harder. I will think of my little sister that wants to be just like me when she gets
Music is something that has, and always will, make me happy against any negativity that may cloud my thoughts. My behavior supports the idea that I wholeheartedly value music. I incorporate music into my life because I am passionate about it. For example, I regularly attend piano and guitar lessons. To clarify, I invest a majority of my time and resources into bettering my musical ability, simply due to the fact that it makes me happy. Moreover, I consistently practice each week in order to grow as a musician. I am aware of the fact that playing music well requires elegance and effort. Because of this, I make sure to take my time and really get to know a piece of music before attempting to play it. If you simply play a piece without any emotion, it sounds boring and unimaginative. Playing music is joyful, and even therapeutic, for me. Another behavior I engage in that keep a physical collection of music. I prefer the classic sound of vinyl over the sound of music through a pair of headphones or coming out of a speaker. I routinely listen to vinyl records, which serves as an alternative to digitally purchasing music. To clarify, I have spent a lot of money on my collection, which I would never have done if I did not love music so much. Furthermore, vinyl records require much effort to be properly maintained, including being regularly cleaned, stored in specific ways, and flipped over every few minutes. The fact that I continue to add to my collection despite the high maintenance only further proves my dedication to music. I have found something in my life that brings me immense happiness in music, which will stick with me throughout my entire life, continually motivating me and serving as a much needed emotional
Music has different meanings, but to me music is the way I express my emotions and thoughts. I like to listen to happy songs not anything sad that will make me cry because in the end, thinking positive, positive things will happen. The music I listen to reveals my personality and the way I act in life. When making a playlist, I add songs not by what year it is but what makes me smile and remember all my good memories that go with it.
In 1973, exactly twenty-five years prior to my birth, my parents were just in elementary school. They told me stories about their lives back then but none contained any traces of music. The only stories about music back in those years were from my grandmother. Back then, my parents grew up in Viet Nam in a poor family with no televisions so they couldn’t really listen to any music growing up. Although my parents could not listen to music on television like how we can now; they were able to come to live performances by local artists held at the district’s performance center every other month because the shows were free. My grandmother told me that the music back then was really different than how it is now. The songs served many purposes to the citizens, it was an encouragement to soldiers at war, it was the rhythm that put kids to sleep, it was the comfort food for everyone who listen. Grandma told me the style
Music to me is an art itself and my drawing style translates into the type of music I listen to. For instance, the coloring aspect of my drawing style would translate into pop culture like artists like Ariana Grande and Fifth Harmony. The darker side of my drawing aspect translates into an R&B or soul feel, like The Weeknd and Zayn. When listening to music it makes me feel either empowered or vulnerable and I love it. Music to me is a way to express yourself no matter in what you’re feeling. Sooner or later I
