I am at a point now that I can't ever even to start falling asleep until I listen to music for about an hour. My body cannot rest completely until the music has put my body to rest. I really liked what Summer had to say because music really does have the power to put us in a certain mood.
I wanted to talk a little bit about why music is so important in each one of our lives. First off music is a common language. While I lived out of the country in Brazil they would listen to all the popular American music even though they couldn't understand they could connect through the beat of the music. Very cool! Music is also used to inspire. Think of the Rocky soundtrack or similar songs like that. Those songs get you so pumped up and if you were thinking you couldn't do something you are able to do it now. I personally can't lift weights without loud music ringing in my ears to pump me up. Are you guys like this too? It also can inspire learning. If fact, so much that in the testing center has a specific room with classical music to help you get a better grade on your test!
Another aspect of music is how it affects our spiritual side. The church hymns have a huge impact on all of us. The beautiful words and melody can invite the spirit to be with us very quickly. This is a really neat thing if you think about it. I have heard people say that you should sing all verses of every song because it is like a prayer you are giving up to the Lord.
The bottom line of what I am trying to get across is that music is a magical thing in our lives. It influences us in every possible way it can. It allow us to express ourselves in anyway we want to which is one of the greatest things in the world. Without the power of music in our lives we would miss out on emotions. Lets be honest who hasn't listened to a song and either cried because of the words or made you smile and laugh. It makes me think of a powerful movie I saw about this which is August Rush. If you guys haven't seen it you should definitely check it out! Speaking of the power of music if anyone hasn't seen this clip you need to watch it. Click here
