Recommended: The importance of music

The importance of music is unspoken because everyone has their own reason to appreciate it.
“Have some composure and where is your posture?” This song excerpt is very relatable to any kid because it is basically saying that you’re supposed to be composed and perfect, but you’re actually not. In this particular song, the meaning behind this lyric is that a woman was having a wedding and she’s supposed to be perfect and composed, but instead she shoots her friend. Models are meant to be perfect, and this model is cracking.
My personal favorite genre of music is either rock or alternative because if I’m feeling mad, sad, or frustrated, I can listen to rock and all my worries leave my mind. Some songs that instantly come to mind are, “Teenagers” …show more content…

Kurt Cobain, late lead singer of Nirvana, wrote many beautiful songs like, “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” I’ve listened to this song over and over, but I’ve never figured out the meaning of it. Sometimes songs are like that. For example, “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. The lead singer never revealed the true meaning behind the song, but there are many theories. I can relate life in many ways to this because in life, sometimes things happen for a reason, but in many cases, you’ll never know …show more content…

Some things in life are too good to be true, and music is one of those things. Some people believe in Jesus Christ. Some believe in Rock and Roll! Obviously, I believe in Jesus, but Brendon Urie, who used to be a Mormon, believes in the religion of Rock and Roll. I don’t understand a lot of things in this world, but I have to believe in something, so I choose Jesus. Brendon Urie chooses to believe something different and every time something tragic happens in his life, he turns to the thing he loves-Rock and Roll. Another thing I figured out about music is that I can learn a timeline by humming it to the tune of any song. In conclusion, music is an outlet for people to express themselves. While growing up, I always had music around the house. What can I say? Music is a part of

I interviewed one of my high school science teachers about her favorite song. Dr. Barr told me that her favorite song is from the bluegrass genre called “Wagon Wheel” (I had never heard this song before). She said that this song is her favorite because it is really catchy, but it does not have any special meaning for her.

“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything” (Plato). If my childhood was filled with anything: it was imagination. From my earliest memories of my cousin, and I putting on a sold out concert on my papaw’s front porch; to putting my baby dolls to sleep with lullabies. Music has always been a big part of my life: it was the one thing I could always count on, no matter where I went; and that still stands true today.
