Question of the Month: What Has Music Done for me?

Music.


Just hearing that word just brings out so much repertoire in my head. I have an internal playlist in my head that's playing music all the time. Yes most of it is k-pop, but I know top 40 music and a lot of musicals to classical. My head seriously is my second iPod. Anywhere I go where I hear silence I fill my head with music and I start bobbing my head. Doesn't matter if I look stupid I just do it. Why? Cause what music has brought me. Pure joy.

Music for me is an the kind of entertainment that can never bore me. I wouldn't say I live, breath and eat music otherwise I'd be a musician or music artist. I guess people could say that I a big consumer for music. I would like to disagree cause...I play music and dance to it. Sometimes sing it though not very well slightly tone deaf but my holiday music is great :D . There's a song for every moment in your life I think. Thanks to amazing marketing but on a serious note. The joy that music gives me just I'm filled with warm fuzzies. If I could have the choice of keeping one of my five senses it would actually be hearing. Yes I would miss the color in the world maybe lose the ability to taste great food but to hear music is something I never want to lose.

It makes me wonder how Beethoven could create such amazing dramatic music when he lost his hearing. I think I do have an answer for that and it comes from tons of reading too. Music at least hearing it creates images in your head. I guess by using that you could create whatever music that appeals to you. I think that's the joy of music. You can't see what kind of art people have created until you sit and listen and appreciated it. It's the images that music gives me I take pride in.
