Music = Emotions = Life

            Emotions are a huge part of music and how music is interpreted. Think of your favorite music or music group. Got it? Now imagine that without any passion, with no feeling of any kind. It would sound awful, would it not? Music is emotions. Emotions are music. No matter what mood you are in, it is almost certain that you will be thinking or listening to some sort of music, whether it is to cheer you up, pump you up, or even to just escape life, it always creates some type of emotion in human beings.

            I personally believe that without music, life would be pointless. There would be nothing to rely on when everything else has abandoned you. Music surrounds us all whether we know it or not. Without it there would only be silence. Music is an emotional escape and without that escape people would find other ways to escape, for example killing each other. And if everyone killed each other there would be no sound, nothingness. Empty. The world would become a hollow shell that once inhabited an uneducated and primal species. Emotions are part of every human, without them they aren’t human, or just crazy, literally. Music is life and we all depend upon it.

            If you truly stop and really think, just listen, without headphones on, everything you hear can be called music. The cars racing by on the street outside your window. The birds and bees buzzing around and singing their weird song. The tapping of a branch on your window. The waves of a lake, lapping and carefully licking the shore. The silent crash of feet above your room. The beat of sweet neighborhood children jumping rope or shouting a cadence. The screech of your rusty door hinges. The heartbeat controlling your destiny and life. Just listen. It all comes together in a weird song, one that never dies, that will live on with the human race. It’s all there. Listen.

            This goes back to one of my previous blogs, in which I discuss the matter of running out of music. Emotions control us. There is no way to escape the inevitable, we are all prey to this wonderful animal. Take a moment and think, listen, and the answer will become as clear as glass. Music is a part of us all and so long as the human race lives on, so will music.
