Music Essay
...o dance to. Even so, my personal favorite is still songs from the 80’s. Music can also be a really good way to make new friends. If you’re in a band, you meet so many people that you most likely wouldn’t know if you weren’t in a band. If you sing in the choir you meet lots of people. It’s not only when you make or sing music that you can make new friends. If you wear a T-shirt with your favorite band logo on it, maybe someone with the same taste in music will come and talk to you. I think music is a good outlet because it always has been for me, whenever I would get in trouble with my parents and be forced to go to my room I would go listen to music. When I’ve had a bad day, and I just want to cheer up, all I have to do is turn on my Blind Melon or Tom Petty CD. This music never fails to put a smile on my face. It literally makes my head feel lighter, makes me breath a little deeper, and gives me the feeling of walking on air. If I close my eyes and concentrate on the lyrics, the worries of my day just float right out of my head. Tom Petty brings back so many memories of nights out with the girls when we drove around singing as loud as we could. Those were such fun times, every time I listen to Tom Petty songs I just get happy. Blind Melon’s lyrics are so true to life. Their music makes me realize a lot; it’s very refreshing to me. When I’m getting ready to meet friends to go out and have fun, I always give myself a little kick by playing some Led Zeppelin or The Doors. The sounds that come from a guitar absolutely amaze me. Nothing gets me going more than listening to the amazing music by Led. It always makes me want to dance around and sing really loud. Music by The Doors just speaks to me. I have always been a huge fan of this group. Their music blows me away. When I turn on The Doors and let Jim Morrison’s voice sink into my head, I can’t do anything but get excited. After hearing the first note of his voice, I am always ready to get out and have a good time. When I come home from school ready to rip all of my hair out, I try to keep myself under control until I can reach my CD player. Any time I’m stressed out or tense, all I need to relax is a good Pink Floyd song. I grew up listening to this music, so it puts me at ease. Pink Floyd’s music and lyrics are so intense, I don’t even have to think about anything. I just lay back and let the sounds float in my head. His smooth voice has served as my everlasting backrub on countless occasions. If I feel uncomfortable in any way, and I need to calm down and relax, The Beatles will do the trick...
