Guys!!! This means it's been one week! Wow, this passed by so fast :)

DAY 8: The power of music

Wow, now that's a tough one. So let's start with the melody, the instruments, the sound of music (movie reference anyone?). 

I think if you listen to a genre of music you like: it could be pop, classic, RB&B, jazz, rock, metal, rap, or other, I think that the melody, the background music (not the vocal), it numbs your mind. If you really like this song, and listen to it on repeat, I swear to you, the instrumental will be transfixed in your brain. It will numb you. It will make your thoughts disappear. 

That is, if you concentrate on the melody only.

If you concentrate on the lyrics though, that just gives off a whole different kind of emotion. I usually listen to the lyrics very intently, until I uncover every possible meaning, and every connection it could have to my life. Once all the lyrics is remembered or analysed, I listen to the music in piece, that's when I usually focus on the melody, and let the song numb me. 

I don't know what else I could say about the power of music, except how memories flood through your mind, images form in your mental cinema constantly as you listen to the music. 

Also, depending on if you're listening to a partyish song or a sad song, the way you look and think of things will change. Listen to 'Party Rock Anthem' for example, you're gonna want to dance, it's a good day, everything's great, you feel me? But then listen to 'Moral of the Story' and BAM your whole mood is different. You're thinking about past relationships that went wrong, you're nostalgic, and all of that. 

Oh, and one more thing, in a movie, if you put a creepy background sound, you know something horrible is gonna happen, so yes, that also adds to the power of music, right? 

See ya in day 9!
