When Words Fail Music Speaks
Music is a form of art that has a major influence on every individual’s life in different ways. It has endless meanings, but for me, it’s a way to express my feelings, thoughts, and emotions. I love having it played around me all the time, it gives me energy and motivation to be productive. It’s not just limited to recorded instruments and lyrics, it’s all around us in nature like the chirping of birds, rain, and wind.
It has many forms of expression and contains the power to take control over one’s emotions. It can uplift our mood, remind us of our loved ones, or may trigger a memory we were trying to forget. Students often find it easier to study with music on as it boosts our energy and helps us study for longer without getting tired or bored.
With all the worldly stress and pressure on our lives, we all need something to relax our minds, and what can be better than a good song to vibe with and a cup of coffee to ease us up? From hearing our parents and grandparents singing rhymes and lullabies to put us to sleep while we were toddlers till growing up partying and blasting music on our speakers to have a great time with friends.
