Music And Its Effect On Life

"On those nights that I missed him most I listened to music" (Alexie 3086). Woven throughout Sherman Alexie 's work, "Because My Father Always Said He Was the Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ at Woodstock,” is the theme of music. Its presence is a faint drumbeat of life, felt throughout the piece. It not only accompanies moments of sorrow, such as when the narrator listens to music while he is longing for his father, but encompasses every variation of emotion available to man, and because of its extraordinary influence on the characters, it takes on human qualities. Through music 's multidimensional effect on characters and its personification, Alexie highlights music’s everyday influence in life, suggesting that it is inescapable and necessary to the human experience.

Music can be used to describe how we feel on the inside when we ourselves can’t seem to find the words. Music has the power to help us discover ourselves or remember something we may have lost.

I remember when me and my family drove along in our family car going shopping. As we drove to the highway, I remember that the radio was always on. There were different types of music playing like pop, hip hop, classic, rock and other types of music. I remember all those good times when I was little the laughter coming from my younger siblings, the sun shining and the wind blowing though the window. I also remember the landscape and the noises of the music exiting through the window and entering the highway. Whatever song was coming on it left this happy mood inside of me. It made me notice more things and made me feel light and carefree. It made me feel like I had to make a difference in the world. It also got me kind of antsy. But then again, that's what music does. That’s what music does it

Art has undoubtedly become a decisive aspect of our culture; embedded in the way we learn and grow on a daily basis. Art forms such as music, television and dance dominate our society as an outlet of freedom of speech for humanity. The evolution of music has rapidly exceeded its original classifications, developing new genres with greater appeal to an audience, hence its influence on society has expedited. In recent times, lyrics (specifically rap lyrics) have been introduced into the court room as a form of documented confessional evidence, evidently challenging law’s authoritative nature. This essay will closely follow the genre of rap and its relationship with law, through cases based in the United States of America (USA). In addition, the trial of Simon Bikindi in Rwanda and Smith v The Queen will be used to form an acute analysis on the influencing factors of relevance, identity, freedom of speech and current constitutional law.

Music is a key factor in my life, now and has been for as long as I remember. Music is one thing that can control my mood and emotions unlike any other. The sounds and melodies of the composition have the potential to sway my moods from a dark gloomy state all the way to a joyous and soothing harmonic atmosphere.

Music was the one thing that I could go to just chill out and relax. On some of my harder days I would listen to those good lionel richie songs, but for some other days it’s pop, rap, or even opera music. But for everyone music is a key to unlock the true happiness in our brains. It can also give people tears to their eyes when they hear the song that made them first feel welcome. For example, when I made 6 years old I use to listen to ballerina girl by lionel richie. That one song that had made me feel like I was the center of my parents world. But I still felt as if it was meant to be sung for me. It was because that song had described how I was back then. So now I when I listen to that song I break

Sometimes in life people grieve. People feel all kinds of emotions. Music is almost an emotion itself. In my perspective music can be an escape, for however long you desire. Music has been call “a way of life” for many human beings. Somehow, it has made a large influence on the world. I can think of many instances where music has influenced my life.

Music is ingrained in my soul as firmly as my first name or last. I hear a booming bass hidden beneath each wave that washes up the shore, and watch a wonderful arpeggio as the sun rises. Despite all the tremors of life, music has always been with me. It was an obsession that started at birth, as my parents belted out in song throughout an otherwise quiet house. It grew slowly like a crack in the windshield, growing larger each day. Whether it be the harmonized voices ringing throughout the car after a victory on the little league field, or a mellow chorus sung out among friends at a barbeque, music allowed me to escape. As I got older the affinity only grew and you could often find me nestled up in my room finishing school work while wrapped in the warm melodies of my favorite

If I had a table that held objects that symbolized my life, on that table I would for sure have a music sheet, a plane, and a car. These objects may seem kind of strange and may have seemed insignificant to me before I had to write this essay, but I now realize that they do in fact relate and symbolize an aspect of my life. Whether it be how music is an important part of my life or how my sister moved away to another country, and early memories of round-tripping with my family, I will explain to you how these things are important to me.

Music is an extremely important factor in our lives. In today’s society, walking into a store and hearing a pop song that you know all the lyrics to is a very common occurrence.

These emotions can elicit different types of moods as well; and we often come by songs can put us in the mood to do different kinds of things like cooking, sleeping, studying, spending time with friends, or anything else. I don’t think that Born To Die is my absolute favorite album, but I do think that it would keep me from going insane on this stranded island.
