Music in My Life

Music is one of the most important and powerful things in my life. My life without melodies and harmonies would be totally empty. To me music is more than just something to listen to or play, it’s something to feel. Listening to and playing different tunes helps me with my stress. It helps relax and it can also help to motivate me in difficult times. I love listening to music while on my way to campus, as I feel it helps me to prepare for the long day that waits and I know will go wrong one way or another. I also sincerely believe music has the ability to convey all sorts of emotion. Music shows whether the emotion is joy and happiness or sadness and despair through rhythms, harmonies and the lyrics. Music also has the ability to transport me back in time. It lets me revisit lost and forgotten moments in life. For example, I remember camping with my friends and the whole way along the camp site we sang songs and I actually can remember clearly all the songs we sang. I also feel that it helps me to get through things. Music is an immensely powerful thing and has a huge place in my life right next to my heart.
