Why is music such an emotional experience? Why is it that EVERYONE, I mean EVERYONE loves music. Is it because the singers and songwriters are expressing emotions that we have trouble expressing ourselves? When we hear these emotions it makes us feel like we are not alone? But then why do only some people love poetry?
Music always seems to make me feel better. If I need to get pumped, feel loved, celebrate, mourn, whatever, there's always the right song. When there's a new song on the radio it feels like a present. When an artist I love is coming out with a new album, I count the days and sometimes even pre-order. I save up money for months to make it to a live show. I cry, dance, smile, laugh at live shows. Music is something I connect with people over. If someone likes the same song or artist, there's an immediate reason to be friends.
Music lightens the mood, makes me miss someone, makes me regret something, makes me laugh about something I did. If a boy plays music, the
y're automatically more attractive. If a girl plays music or has a pretty voice, I want to be like her.
People quote lyrics, people quote musicians. If so
meone hasn't been to college, but they've made a career out of music, they're respected. Music is respected. Even the industry is respected.
I'm not going to say that some day I'll be a musician. I won't. I can't sing, I can't memorize notes, I can't write lyrics. Music will, however, always speak through me.
Music is the biggest cliche to ever exist. However, like most cliches, it's true and everyone knows it.
