Music has long been a part of human culture. From simple percussion instruments and flutes made of bird bones to specialized equipment and full orchestras. It has been a tool for influence, venting, and leisure. Music can mean many things to one person, and one thing to a large group of people.
Some people have harnessed the power of melody and harmony to create profound pieces and some have not. The real magic of music is that it doesn’t need to be deep. Music needs no strong purpose. There is music in silence and there is music in blaring horns. Music is in a person’s voice, in their step and in their heart. Music is in everyone, even on accident. The most difficult part of making music is bringing all of the small parts together, which is what separates the great from the mediocre.
There is music for every emotion and all situations. There is music for when you feel on top of the world and when the sun shines a bit brighter. There is music for when you feel lost and alone, and when the nights feel colder. There is music for the smile on your face and music for each tear that rolls down your cheek. There is music for the sweltering heat of summer and the freeze of winter. For the part of you that wants to go out with friends until the wee hours of the morning and the part of you that wants to curl up in the lamplight and finish a book in one sitting. For the part of you that feels everything at one time and for the part of you that feels nothing at all.
Music can tell a story. Of life experiences, ups and downs, the good and the bad. It can be lighthearted such as a day at the beach, or the hardships of growing up in difficult conditions. People write music about their experiences because it can help them cope. Going through hard times can put severe emotional baggage on a person. Music is a way to get things off of a person’s chest. Writing what you feel in a musical way can help one see clarity in a situation which is therapeutic.
Overall, music means more than words on a page and notes in a staff. It means finding something and someone to relate with. It’s the chance to save a person’s life. People underestimate the raw power of music. Music is inspirational and is the can be most important thing in people’s lives.
