There aren’t a lot of things that can truly say something about your life. Some things that can truly underscore your thoughts, feelings, emotions. Sometimes, those things can do more than underscore the feelings. They can actually MAKE YOU FEEL those feelings. And one of those things, undoubtedly, is music. No one can really understand how much power music in general, and certain songs in particular, can affect a person. Not just the instrumentation itself, but naturally, the lyrics play a huge part in the overall atmosphere of the song---and as a result, the feelings you have. The lyrics to a sad song will of course make you feel sad, and the lyrics to an up-tempo song will obviously make a person feel upbeat. And even feel like they can take on the world. Here’s an example: OK, picture this motif: I am in the Merillat weight room, ready, amped, willing and anxious to push my body to its outermost limits. But, everything is not right yet. There’s something missing. And, I know what it is. I take out my mix CD that I burned. It is designed to look like an actual vinyl record, with “Crunk Shit” labeled in my unique scrawl across it.
