Music is Part of my Life

Music has always and will always be a part of my life. I guess I could speak for all and say that "without music, there's no life...." As Misato mentioned below, "If we don't have music in the world we would feel that something is missing in our lives." I strongly agree with her. If there was no music society would only have people speaking to each other, and there would be no entertainment, etc.

Music has an influence on people, it helps influence a person's personality... It may sound strange, but it's really hard to describe it in words of what music can do... I listen to mostly all type of music.. but most of the time it's the mellow type... because it makes me clear my mind when I am stressed out or when I have a minor depression due to 'school work'. Music is basically a stress reliever medicine for me... and it may be for some people out there too. By writing music, it shows that the composer has a talent for writing poetry. The words of the songs might teach a little thing or two on how the world is, the way people feel, think, and act towards others. Life is seen through music by words. Music can change the way people act, and become a 'new' person. When people can express their thoughts or feelings, they express then through music. If you hear a singer singing a heavy metal song, you would think that that singer's is somewhat.... wild... and really outgoing. If you listen to a singer sing a sentimental song, you would think that she or he could be soft spoken, kind, and sweet.

Anyways, to conclude my idea on music, all I can say is that, 'no music.... no life.' We wouldn't be who we are without the influence of music in our lives!
