Music And Romantic Ballads

Imagine entering into another universe where you can freely express yourself in ways people can understand you and would actually be around to listen, feeling like you have all the time in the world because it all seems so important? Writing and listening music can become one's temporary escape to all of his or her issues and a relief by using words that describe how he or she feels. I myself follow this pastime and feel very relaxed in the process as time seems nonexistent.

Many of us have listened to certain songs in the past which have taken us back to a previous experience, time or place. Music can take trigger the mind and take you to experiences you have had in college, a relationship you had, a tragic family event or anything. It takes your mind to a certain event or moment in your life, like a birthday party or other celebrations. If you ever think you need to be inspired for something, such as goal, music can help you get there. It’s about connecting to what the artist has to say, or how the sound of the rhythm makes you feel which can give you your own motivation in your life. It sparks the mind and acts as a very strong catalyst which can lead to creative ideas you never thought you can

Music has always played a governing role in my development during life. My first major connection with a song occurred when I was around nine years old. A majority of my time growing up was spent with my older sister, Melissa. We would always spend weekend nights in her bedroom with a group of her friends. I can vividly recall the setup of her room: the lights dimmed to an almost perfectly relaxed ambiance; a faint smell of vanilla and cinnamon (her favorite scents) from the candles burning on the dresser; and the television loud enough to hinder any outside noise. Often, these nights would consist of binge watching T.V. shows and story-telling among my sister’s friends, who at the time were much older than me. It was during one of these nights that a commercial came on, displayed by a channel called “VH1.” A music video came on the screen; The song was “How to Save a Life” by The Fray. As the song progressed the room was filled with the seemingly instinctual singing of her friends, almost up-to-par with the rhythm and

Music is another language people use whenever they want to express their feelings. Whether they are angry or passionate, there is always a melody for that emotion. It is universal and it brings people together. There are so many amazing artists that have a substantial influence on this generation and past generations.

Wherever I am, music follows. There is a song for everything. The world would be a very dull and boring place without music. There are sad songs, happy songs, romantic songs, slow songs, fast songs, loud songs, quiet songs, peaceful songs, country songs, pop songs, rap songs, classical songs, etc. Whatever I am feeling, there is always something that describes it perfectly. Some songs don’t have words and others do. All full of rhythms and rhymes.

Often times we use music to relate to ourselves; our lives, experiences, thoughts, and personalities. People use songs as an expression of themselves, their thoughts and past that they may not be able to express in any other

ballads, with lyrics that tell a memorable story. Songs can tell similar stories of internal struggle as to

I love music because it has the ability to transform someone’s day just by listening to it. In my opinion, it is one of the few art forms that is effortless for others to experience because there

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.

The Romantic era was a time when composers expressed their emotions through their music. With the French Revolution underway composers began to write what they wanted, and how they felt. Composers stopped writing for individuals and specific events and began to write what the people wanted. By doing this they soon began to sell out concert halls. Franz Liszt stopped writing in movements and began to just play one long piece. He played what the audience wanted to hear. As many composers began to show off their abilities, schools began to open for students to learn about music and how to play musical instruments correctly .

Ever since I was an infant, music has been a significant part of my life and the lives of my parents. Even as a baby, I would be comforted by my father singing my songs that comforted him, for example, being sung to sleep to “Jane Says” by Jane’s Addiction. It has always been a natural response for me to turn to music as a means of comfort, acting like a security blanket. At times, it can be difficult to express in words certain feelings that you are having, making it difficult to talk to someone about it so that they can help you. In times like these, music can serve as the best companion because it does not require you to speak or to attempt to share what is going through your mind; it simply provides you comfort just by being. There are times where all we desire is to be heard, but this is problematic when it is difficult to formulate sentences accurately depicting what you are thinking. This is why I find music to be the ultimate companion and source of comfort at times. While it cannot actually listen to you, it offers its company and implied support as you think to yourself and contemplate your

The romantic period of music began in the 1820s and with it came a change of stylistic features. Beethoven largely impacted the new way that the music of the Romantic era was viewed. He made people perceive music as a true form of art made to be taken seriously, rather than just a fun time passer. Another reason for the change of music during that time was due to nationalism and exoticism. Nationalism promoted music, such as folk songs and dances, which was created for the purpose of supporting the nation. Exoticism had the opposite effect as nationalism. It caused audiences to listen to folk music from other nations and it allowed people to have a better understanding of unique qualities and cultures of surrounding nations. These factors led to the music during the Romantic period becoming more personal and emotion than it was in the previous classical era, although it still contained a melody, harmony, tone color, and a form. Much of the music from the Romantic era can be recognized by its melody. The melodies became wider, more irregular, and dramatic during this time. The harmony of Romantic music was further advanced as well. The composers learned how to use harmony to build the melody and intensify its emotionality, while at the same time experimenting freely with new chords. The tone color of music during this time was expanded allowing the quality of the sound of the music to improve. One of the most important changes that were made to the features of music during

Music can impact society in many ways whether it is in positive or negative way such as, emotionally, morally, or even physically. Emotionally, music can make society feel like they’re not alone. It may even make someone feel as if that song exactly spoke about how that person was feeling at the time they heard it or when they were going through a certain situation. Songs have a way of connecting to us, us referring to us as human race, in very emotional ways that we directly connect with especially when someone is in a vulnerable state. This article states “Music has the

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.
