Music Matters

What is it that is so compelling about music?
The beat? The lyrics? The emotion?
Because let's face it, behind every epic song is a story that changes who we are. For example, behind every good love song, is the story of boy meets girl (or girl meets girl, or boy meets boy), they fall in love, and everyone is happy. Then, something takes a turn for the worse, and out comes an epic break up song... But songs, they aren't just music... They're emotion, compassion and life all bound into one. Music is the thing that pushes you on, makes you cry, smile, laugh, just all round feel. It's the true beauty of this world we live in.
The reasons why we enjoy music so much are still a mystery to us, but what I know is, music is the thing that kept me alive, gave me reason to wake up in the morning, and keep living. It's the thing that pushed me on and reassured me it was worth it. Through music I met some of the most amazing people, who feel the same way about music that I do.
"Music isn't just words and melodies... It's life!"
And it is. When we are younger we listen to music, we dance to it, sing to it and live by it. As we get older music becomes serious, relating to our every situation, giving us the answers of what to do next, and giving us a visualisation of perfection. Then when we are adults, we use it to remember the good times, at our weddings and parties, to celebrate and recall all the times we were so close to doing something idiotic, or the times we did do something idiotic, and somehow, in the end it all worked out. At an old age, maybe 60/70, we stand in our living rooms, in the arms of those we love, playing our wedding song, and sway to it just reminiscing over everything that went right. Further on in life, at the end, we use the music at our funerals, it is listened to by those we love, those we cherish, and those who we shared memories with, that all rush back to us when we hear that song.
Music is with us all throughout our lives... Music matters because it brings us closer to the ones we love and pushes us to live on. Music is the fuel that powers our hearts, minds and bodies. May music forever live on.
