What is music? Not just a bunch of notes thrown together and listened to; no, music is more. ... Music affects people daily, in ways they don’t even notice. Music is background noise when working on some homework. ... All of these are music, and all of these show how music is central to people’s lives.
Of many purposes that music serves, perhaps the most interesting and important one is music’s use as a socializing factor. Music is a catalyst, something that sparks debate and at the same time brings people together. The best example of this catalyst is live music, or concerts. ... Such is the raw power and emotion of rock music.
Personally, concerts serve as milestones in my life. ... I vented my frustrations in that arena, and music is to thank for it.
Whereas my first concert marks the end of a difficult time in my life, the second marks the start of a new phase in my life. ... My life was about to change drastically, and the weight of all this change was bearing down on me. ... The hot sun, company of friends, and new music I’d never heard all combined to lift my spirits. ...
What would have happened if music was banned and I couldn’t attend those concerts? ...
When I listen to music, I try to relate to the artist’s lyrics. ... This shows the power of the written word in music. ... People memorize lyrics that have special appeal to them; without music there would be no memorization, no happy memories. ...
Some music doesn’t have lyrics, of course. Incidental music, such as movie scores, are one example. Movies without music are nothing new. ... However, with the advent of the “talkie” came the score, or music played in the background of movies. ...
Without music, movies would be quite boring. ... The movie industry would be hard-pressed to be successful without music, leaving thousands out of work and searching for new careers. ... Banning music makes them immediately expendable, and useless at their current profession.
