Many people believe that you need to be a musician, play an instrument, or sing for music to be a substantial part of your life. This is not the case. I'm not a musician, I don't play an instrument, and I don't sing, but music is one of the most important things in my life. To me, music isn't just a fun way to pass time, it's so much more than that. Music is an escape from reality. Music is a way to express your thoughts when you can't put them into words. Music is a world within itself, with a language that we all understand.
Music is my safety net. It catches me when I fall. Music is the one thing that will always be there for you, helping you get through whatever obstacle that comes along. I have had to face quite a few obstacles in my life and I honestly don't think I would have gotten through them without music. Music lets me express myself in ways I didn't know were possible.Through all of the drama, the break ups, the fights with my friends and family, music gave me a strength that I didn't know I had. In my opinion, music can tell you more about a person than they ever will.
People all around the world listen to music. It's something that brings us all together through all of our differences. Music is something that we can all connect, relate, and bond to. Music moves people and connects people in ways that no other medium can. Music acts like a medicine. A bond over music is a bond like no other. Music takes people out of themselves for a few hours and that is what people connect to. People connect over the freedom and love that is music.
I love music because it has always been there for me when I needed it. Music says what I can't express and takes me to a place that I can't get to on my own. Music lets you feel free and escape reality. Music makes things easier and allows you to understand people better. Music is unique to everyone and hits everyone differently. Twenty people could listen to the same song and the way that each person takes it in could be completely different. Music to me is what connects us and saves us.
