MUSIC AND MY WORLD
Music is a very colorful thread woven into the entire fabric of our lives. Soon after birth we hear our first melodies as our mothers hum soothing lullabies to help us sleep. The word MUSIC is derived from the Greek word Mousike; "art of the Muses”. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of Music vary according to ones culture, social and individual taste. Music is a form of art that involves organized and audible sounds and silence. It is normally expressed in terms of pitch, rhythm, and the quality of sound. When we refer it to the Biblical context, “Music is a gift from God, through which one can praise and honour the Creator”. Music is made in tones (symbolized by musical notes) with definite pitches, different tones, played one after the other to constitute a melody.
As being partly a Musician, I was born with music inside me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidneys, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was a force already within me when I arrived on the scene. It has become a necessity for me-like food or water and it is true that the beauty of Music lies in oneself. To me Music has become the “harmony of the sphere” and “Music to my ears”. Music has the real power to convey one message to the world. Through music one can express its feelings and emotions being without questions and Music can also be a medicine for the heart broken persons. At first when one talks about Music the first thing that comes to peoples mind is that, “Music is just only meant for an entertainment”, but this thoughts should be remove from oneself and one should learn to listen to the melody and harmonious of the music as every songs carries a message on it. On the other side many people listen to Music for ones pleasure and some just to kill their time (according to ones mood or situation).
Music in today’s world has really exerted powerful influences on individuals and societies alike. As we can see that Music has brought a drastic change in the society in the field like; way of lifestyle, behaviour, fashion etc... But one should not be washed away by the influence of the bad Music. To many people in many cultures Music is an important part of their way of life (No Music, No Life). Listening to Music isn’t a bad thing! Heck, listening to Eric Martin (Mr. Big Vocal) and Harem Scarem isn't a bad thing! To be completely honest, I am a Rock Music lover and a huge fan of the two and have also witness the Live Concert of Mr. Big, which was really a Super fantastic. The important thing is just to make sure that you don't get too carried away with all of the junk they sing. You can appreciate a song without bad mouthing, and you can enjoy a tune without grinding! There are also different types of Music Genres where different people have different taste; Blues, Contemporary, Country, Country Pop & Rock, Electronic, Hip Hop & Rap, Jazz, Pop, Rhythm & Blues, Rock, Metal etc.. The existence of some modern-day genres such as Grindcore and Noise Music, which enjoy an extensive underground following, indicate that even the crudest noises can be considered Music if the listener is so inclined. Jimi Hendrix who is a well-known Musician once said “Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.”
The most common way one becomes involved with music is through listening or attending a musical event. Listening at home on a CD player, or in the car, on the computer, or on in mobile phone can be a very personal and fulfilling experience. Music, as we know, sets a mood and a vibe as we hear it in lounges, parties, or other social events. Also, attending a concert is unique as it offers the excitement of hearing live musicians while providing the sound as it is meant to be heard (if it is acoustic music that is). Where else can one sit with other people, listen, and enjoy music in silence so that there are no distractions besides the music itself. Music can also stimulate the mind. One of the great things about music in general, and in particular concert music, is that playing it opens up a whole new world of experience that further enhances the mind, physical coordination, and expression. The Musicians and the Music lovers go ahead with your dreams, don’t stop or else you will miss the best part of it.
I don’t meant to make contradictions, but to make it clear to the Music Lovers that there is a good and bad Music. It doesn’t mean that one should only listen to a particular Music Genre alone; you have every right to choose, but make good decisions when it comes to influences from music, so that you and I are not being carried away by the bad influence of Western Music. Now, don't leave my blog thinking that music of the 21st century is a terrible, terrible thing and that you will never listen to music again nor think you’re committing a crime! “MUSIC IS AMAZING”. I love music. I sing it, I dance to it, I express myself with it and today what I’m is all because “MUSIC IS WONDERFUL”. Just use it well, and for the right reasons!
