Music

Music is something we come into contact with everyday. There are all kinds of different genres of music in the world such as rap, hip-hop, rock, metal, pop, indie, folk, country, alternative, punk, orchestra, opera, classic and many others. When it comes to my music choice, I like just about everything. There are of course some songs that I prefer than others, but I will listen to remotely any genre as long as the meaning is decent. Others may listen to specific songs or genres because of the beat, or how the song makes them feel intellectually.

Since I have lived with my grandparents for a majority of my life, classic rock or just anything from the 50's and 60's is something I really enjoy. When I listen to the classics I feel as if I'm reliving in an era in which my grandparents grew up in. I've always loved the scenery from the 50's and 60's in such a way that I almost envy those who had the privilege of growing up in that time period. The cars are fascinating and the way everyone seemed to get along is just amazing. The way someone could walk out of their house and become successful in any type of business they wanted to form is mind-blowing. A few of my favorite classic artists are of the following: Dion and the Belmonts, Wilson Pickett, Canned Heat, CCR (Clearance Clearwater Revival), Greg Kihn Band, KC & the Sunshine Band, the Doors, and many, many others. Nothing can beat the classics.

If you were to ride in my car and go through my music you would find almost every genre of music except for opera, I'm just not a fan of it. I tend to steer away from the new generation of music as well because of some of the meanings or foul language used in the content. That does not mean that I don't listen to some of the newer music though, as there are plenty of new stuff I enjoy listening to.

When it comes to music I feel that some songs are very relatable. There are some songs that can instantly change my mood within a few seconds. A sad song will usually bring back memories I have had in the past, which sometimes creates a sense of sadness within me. Other songs that are more up-tempo tend to bring a feeling of happiness and energy in me. Music can be a huge role in fixing a broken person or just giving someone something to relate to. There are quotes all over the world stating that music saves lives and I truly believe that. The way music has impacted my life in such a way proves to me that music can help or hurt those who listen to the content. It all depends on how one conceives the meaning.

I love discovering music that I've never heard before and jamming out in my car as I drive down the road. I know I'm not the only one who will sing along in the car at the top of my lungs as if I'm on stage without a microphone. Music will forever be a part of my life and I hope the new artists continue to create content worth listening to.
