My World of Music

Music is very important for me. It helps to have a good time.

When I switch on my cassette recorder, it seems that music takes me away to some other world where I feel myself happy and comfortable. Only music helps me to forget about my
problems. Even if I had a bad day music makes me feel myself well because all singers most of all sing about love, friendship and happiness. I like this kind of songs, somebody's happy and I gladly share his happiness and leave all my problems far away.

Well... What concerns my favourite style of music,- I haven't got it. Sometimes I like to listen to classical music, especially to "Requiem" by Mozart. I believe classical music develops my memory and makes me think. Also I'm fond of rock and pop music especially of youth groups singing about youth problems. In general their songs are happy and easily caught. But sometimes it happens that some pop songs irritate me as they are absolutely senseless. And I try to understand why one and the same word repeated hundreds of times and one and the same chord played during the whole song make people forget about everything and shake in a strange dance. I doesn't want to sound like an old-old granny, but I really feel like that.

Sometimes I regret that I didn't get musical education, maybe then I would be able to understand the most complicated composition. But my soul feels music and helps me not to be deaf to something which is really worth listening to.
