The Music in Life

Music is found in different places for everyone, for some its the radio in their car, the band playing at the local bar, the choir at church or the little screen in their pocket. I mostly listen to music on my phone. I think people of all ages and from places all around the world can at least appreciate the art of music.

My math teacher told me once that the reason we like music is because of a mathematical rhythm of some sort that our brains are attracted to. I think the internet also told me once that our heart copies the beat of the music we’re listening to and that’s why we like it. To be honest I have no idea if either of these statements are true or not, but either way I don’t care to look into it. I think the reason we like music is because it makes us happy, that’s all. Any song we listen to; sad, happy, mad we’re usually listening to because we feel the same way and it helps us feel understood. As humans all we really want is to be understood and with millions and millions of songs out their at least a few of them are guaranteed to relate to us one way or another. Sometimes music can describe the feelings that we can’t and that’s pretty cool.

I myself can honestly say that music has helped me through so much and its something I couldn’t see myself without. I think music can be found everywhere you just have to look for it.
