When I listen to music it can make me feel many things. Music has a huge influence on how I feel. If it’s upbeat and fun, I will be in a motivated fun mood. If it’s sad, I’ll be in a slow, empty mood. My favorite song would have to be Holding Onto You by twenty one pilots. This song’s lyrics have a really good message and make you think. It tells you that you can’t let your demons win, you have to fight through the bad to get to the good. I feel that I gravitate to music that is more alternative indie or punk because while it is fun the dance around to songs on the radio, they don’t always convey the emotions I feel that well, I like most genres but some more than others.
My friends and I kind of listen to the same music, we all have our own preferences but we enjoy a lot of the same bands and or songs. Without music the world would be nothing. Music is the most amazing thing and it takes you away and it tells you that you’re not alone and it tells you that it’s going to be okay. Music is a way to express your emotions whether you’re singing or writing it or just listening to it. The world would be so boring without it. Without music in my life, I don’t know where I’d be but it wouldn’t be a good place because music takes me out of the stress and the constant motion of my life and it relaxes me and puts me in a good mood. I don’t think I would like where I would be without music.
I do think that music has the power to heal. It has helped me through many tough times in my life and I know it’s helped people I know through many hard times also. Music is poetry in some cases, some songs are just silly and fun to sing along with and that’s okay, I don’t think you should mock any genres just because the content isn’t necessarily full of wisdom, sometimes you need a simple song that doesn’t make you think. One song that I feel is poetry would be the one I mentioned earlier, Holding Onto You by twenty one pilots, my favorite lyric is “Fight it, take the pain ignite it, tie a noose around your mind, loose enough to breath fine and tie it to a tree, tell it you belong to me this ain’t a noose this a leash and I have news for you, you must obey me. Music has been there for me when people couldn’t, it’s the one thing in life that I can fully depend on because people are unpredictable, but there will always be the songs.
I like what you say about the dependability of music, and I think you've keyed in to its real appeal for us: "It takes you away and it tells you that you’re not alone and it tells you that it’s going to be okay. "
