Life Without Music Is Not Life At All
the odyssey online

There are so many different ways to express yourself, but for me music has always been my go to. Music is my muse, it helps me when no one else can. It can mellow me out and express emotions in the most pure way. It can have no words, but yet, still have a strong message.

Throughout my life, I have struggled a lot with anxiety and depression. Friends come and go and life gets super hard sometimes, but music is always there. There is a song for everything. There is a song for when you feel sad, mad, happy, in love, frustrated or just about anything.

There are so many different varieties of music: EDM, pop, rap, country, rock, heavy metal, R&B, etc. I have yet to meet one person who doesn't like any kind of music. If they don't, then they should immediately seek professional help. (OK I realize this was over the top, but c'mon, are you even human if you don't like music at all?)

Music is also timeless, sure some tunes may sound the same but there is no song that is exactly like the other. Much like a fingerprint, music and songs aren't exactly the same. It depends on the person writing the music, each writer has their own style and ways to create songs.

Writing has always been an outlet for people everywhere to get their feelings out. Lyrics are much like poems when you think about it. Lyrics can be written about anything, there is no right or wrong thing to write about. The words in songs are raw and real. They are relatable to listener, which is another reason that music is super appealing.

Dancing is a really fun way to express yourself. Although it does not have to be done with music, music can inspire your movements. What would a club or party be without music? Awkward, that's what.

Music can help you let loose, in the best possible way. It is such a pure form of expression. Music can focus you. Whether it's when you workout, do schoolwork or even fall asleep.

The time that one song takes to play can really help calm you down. If you are angry or upset, those two to four minutes can really change your mood. Sometimes music is the only thing that can truly express how you feel. Music can set you free. It sparks thought but can also mellow your racing brain. There are not many things (that are legal), that can do that for people. I think that is a beautiful thing.

I don't think people realize how important music is in our society. Music brings people together, it always has. From churches to concerts, music makes people come to together in a similar interest.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
