The Sound of Music

No I'm not talking about the movie...your kidding me, I was forced by my lower school music teacher Mrs. Kelso to watch that...
What I'm talking about it what music can do to us, what sound does to us. Okay, so your running and you are not listening to music one day and you run 3 miles with some trouble...another day you are listening to faster paced music and you finish your 3 miles with little trouble...what am i getting at? Music can pump you up, music can bring you down, music can get our heart beating.
What is music? Music is a plethera of sounds strung together to create melodies and harmonies.......I think I just fried my brain with that definition (that I came up with by the way)......okay I'm good to go now, where was I? Oh music right.... People all have different tastes in music. Me...I like most anything, but for some reason I have taken a liking to alternative music recently. Like yellowcard and colplay. I enjoy how their songs tell stories or make sense in life. Sometimes I can even relate to a song. And of course I'm a country fan...country is fun to dance to, sing to, its fun!
What does music sound like? Music sounds like anything, music has an unlimited arsenal of instruments that can make it. Guitars, drums, pianos, violins, harmonicas, trumpets, even buckets! Music is opinion...it helps us voice what we normally cannot. We voice what is going on in our heads, what we can't get out. Music defines a culture, music can define a persons, whats the word, personality. I see a person in a cowboy hat and boots and can bet that they like country music. Person dressed in all black, crazy hair, skateboard shoes of some sort...emo music. Don't get me wrong, I like country but I don't dress like it, I accept some emo music but don't dress emo. Music won't completely define a person, it just says a little something about their tastes.
Music is used everywhere. It sets the mood in movies, it yells, "I'm here!" when you hear the 3 subwoofers driving by in a car, it lets us relax, it pumps us up, it makes us sad, it makes us happy, and it can make us spiritual. Music is awesome...without music life would be quiet...too quiet. So turn up your amps, play the drums louder than ever, sing with all you've got, turn up those headphones, turn up the car radio, use every inch of that subwoofer...music is yours for the taking, music is yours for the making...so what are you waiting for?
