What music means to me?   What a question. Music has a lot of meanings.  I think that music for each person has a different meaning and we should respect those opinions. For me music is an art that I can relate and I hope some day I will have the ability to create it myself (master my own pieces) or at least be able to listen to music for the rest of my life, because without music life will never be complete.  Music is always there when you need it.  Music can bring a lot of emotions like nostalgia, sadness, happiness, joy, etc. Music is a huge part of my life.I am addicted to music. Without music, my day is completely empty and boring. I woke up and the first thing I do is listen to music (when my radio-alarm goes off), when I go to school, when I am at school, when I get to my house, when I workout and when I go to bed I listen to music throughout my day. It has the power to change  my mood. For example if I am in a really bad mood just listening to some music  will help to change my mood or maybe not change it but it will help. Also if  sometime I feel sad, happy, stress or confuse the fist thing that pops into my mind is to listen to some music. Another thing about music is that music is everywhere. Any place you go you can hear music or see people listening to music. For example in a restaurant or at malls there is always music. Also if you go out to a bar, club/ lounge or just a party there is music. When you are in traffic you get to see all people in their cars listening to music or at stress you get to see people with there iPods. The best thing about music is that there is music for every person.  There are a lot of genres of music so each does not matter the person’s personality there is always music for anyone. There are  a lot of genres for example rock, pop, country, jazz, folk, hip hop, reggae, blues etc. The genres I love the most are rap, rock, pop and so many more – it would be a shame if I only picked a few.  As I already told you, I am addicted to music but sometimes music can be  torment to me. There are a lot of different types of genres people may not like even hate. When I hear these comments its sad but to each their own. I don’t think we should label a genre as being  bad. Musicians spend a lot of them time and effort in creating their art, I personally don’t think its right to stike-off a genre. Maybe songs. Some songs – I DON”T GET and will probably never understand…so move on.To me music is much more than  a few minutes of instrument combining together to make a song. Music is much more than that. The type of music you like reflects on your life, your interests, maybe even your beliefs. I know that no matter what I will always have music. I may be rich, poor, sad, or the happiest person in the world I will always have music. Music is life and life is music. I LOVE MUSIC!
