Which makes me understand why the violins were used in the shower scene in Psycho. Music in movies can take you to many branches of your emotions. Like, in a moment of sadness you here the dramatic sad music or when you have a scene with girls having fun you have an upbeat Madonna song. A melody within a song is its backbone without the melody the “song” would be nothing but words or an interesting poem. “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head” has this melody that is so unique to itself. To me it’s as though it’s speaking two languages because the melody sounds mellow and happy. The mellow melody has helped relieve a lot of my personal anxiety. On my most hectic craze filled days it creates an opposite affect the melody calms me down. The melody also has a way of …show more content…
Music relives us from sad days and can keep us feeling happy. Music for me has been very important as reach the end of my senior year. I feel as though I have never really had so much happen to me at one time in such a short period. I currently have two jobs, stuff going on in my personal life, and haven’t slept more than 5 hours a night for the past two weeks. It has been overwhelming but this song itself helped me when I felt I was most frustrated. I listened to this song and realized my obstacles right now can’t affect how I handle my personal emotions. No, it’s not easy to have this mentality but those raindrops are falling on my head, they keep falling (David, Hal & Bacharach, Burt 1969) and I can’t really control these outside obstacles but I can maintain a positive outlook and be okay on the inside because I know It won't be long till happiness steps up to greet me (David, Hal & Bacharach, Burt 1969) . I have also found myself connecting with god recently something that I felt I had lost. So I just did me some talking to the sun and I said I didn't like the way he got things
Billy Joel said, “I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music” (Music Quotes). Whether we realize it or not, music affects our lives greatly. The only thing for us to question is how. How does music impact your life and the lives of others? What does music do for us? People of all ages benefit emotionally, physically, and academically from music.
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
When the song came out in 2015, I was in the midst of graduating and truly coming to terms with the person I am. Going through this period of self-realization, the lyrics “You can't rush your healing/Darkness has its teachings/Love is never leaving/You can't rush your healing” (II. 19-22) really went to show me that the hard times I was going through were placed in my way as learning experiences. Listening to the mellow tunes of this song had such powerful repercussion on my mood as well. Not only the content of the words, reassuring me that everything will pass, but the actual vibrations of sound forced me into a meditative/healing state of
In the 1930s the United Stated and Japan had a turbulent relationship as the result of Japan trying to expand into China and take their territory as well as take over their economy by force resulting in a variety of horrible events done to the Chinese. To reprimand Japan for their aggression towards China and to try to force them to end their aggression the United States put in place a system of economic sanctions and trade embargoes to cut off essential goods. Instead, this only made the Japanese more determined and after months of discussion no peaceful conclusion could be reached. This in turn led to the events on an island 2,000 miles from the U.S. mainland and 4,000 miles from Japan. The name of this island is Pearl Harbor, which was
At the beginning, music has and always will be an important thing in my life. When I am on a road trip or am doing something that takes an extended period of time, I know I can turn on Spotify and drift into my own world. Also, if I ever feel perturbed or dejected, I can listen to my favorite album and feel great again. Third, music helps me prepare for activities such as football games or school. Lastly, music assists me whenever I’m working on something such as homework or a project for school.
I find myself humming it from time to time when I least expect. Usually I’m on a downer, feeling sorry for myself mostly or thinking about something I said or done with deep regret of some sort. Subsequently, as I get older I find I’m more emotive when I listen to music associated with my youth as oppose to just listening to the drumbeat, guitar riff and more importantly; the voice. I’m more driven by how the song relates to my life
This song expresses the freedom i have in today's society and the relationships to others. “Ave Maria” is a calm and steady set of music set in a orchestra. the quote “ O matter, horein bittend kind” this explains the respect to others and by oneself. This song is very calming and has a robust sense of emotion of religious faith about christianity. when people listen to this song they're going to find that it is calm and instrumental with a lot single vocal in it.The song is a major role factor in my life, because it shows the kindness and respect i have to others. I am a respective guy, but I am also a goofy nature type of person. The instruments in the song are perfectly united to make that one set melody that I love. The opposite of my respect is wild and that what makes us
Music is that one friend that will always be there and will never judge us. It changes and has a huge
Psycho (1960) is a film that redefined horror expectations, and made a name for slasher films. Prior to Psycho, horror was a popular genre, but nothing compared to this. One of the scariest aspects of this film is the fact that we still almost sympathize with Norman because of his innocent demeanor, and up until the very end of the movie, we’re stuck thinking that Mrs. Bates is the one responsible for all of the murders. The use of quick-shots within horror were also birthed through Psycho, which is part of what made the shower scene so famous, as it has definitely influenced horror films since then. The music is also crucial, again, adding to the impact that the shower scene leaves on the audience. While the content of the scene is frightening
Music is a huge part of our everyday life. Many people don’t realize that music plays a significant role in in the way it affects the human brain. It connects and helps us share experiences with loved ones, friends, and random acquaintances. The variety of genres lets us explore the different emotions as we listen to specific songs, whether or not its pop, hip-hop/ rap, indie, country, rock/ heavy & death metal, classical, dance, jazz, blues, soul, reggae, and opera. Psychologists seem to believe the answer lies within the rhythm, tone, lyrics, and melody of the music. A great and inspiring songwriter/ vocalist, Mitch Lucker, said, “Keep listening to music, cause it gets you through everything. I promise.” My question is, why do people turn to music rather than friends or family? Considering this, what is it about music that helps us through difficult obstacles in life? According to many psychologist music can affect mood, health, mind, and learning ability.
According to Hutchison (2013), life course perspective “looks at how chronological age, relationships, common life transitions, and social change shape people’s lives from conception to death,” (p. 383). In order to understand a person’s life path, it is important to look at event history; the order of significant events, experiences, and transitions in a person’s life from conception to death, taking into consideration how culture and social institutions have shaped the arrangement of individual lives (Hutchison, 2013).
This manipulates the audience because they know something is going to happen, but do not know exactly what. Music is also used to manipulate the audience during the trailer. Bernard Herrman composes the main theme music used in Psycho. This music is very sinister,
3) Fear of losing control – Usually influenced by physical events or situations (but commonly social
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.
People say that music has the ability to heal a person mentally and spiritually. But to me, music is much more than just healing. It is a way for me to escape this world called reality and enter a world with in my imagination through the different beats, harmony, and chorus. Only when listening to music, I can truly feel all my emotions with each song having the power to make me remember, from painful to happy memories. As I grew up to be the person I am today, my music journey also grows with me. Looking back at it now, I would never want to change a single thing.
