It was one of those dull days when I just didn't know what to do. The thought of getting five days off from school was exciting at first. But on the first day of my five day holiday, I woke up to find that my internet was not working. What was I supposed to do without internet?Now, many people think that having no internet is good because then you can connect to your inner self. But I hate it when I think about what I 'm gonna do with my life because then I think about all the things I should've done but didn't and all the mistakes I've made. This leads to regret and then I just lie down on my bed and waste the entire day.
So while I was lying down on my bed trying to sleep despite the 10 hour sleep I just had, I decided to listen to some music. The first song that played on my phone was Happy by Pharell Williams. And believe it or not, I actually felt good. I sang along and danced till I went out of breath (which was very soon, by the way.) So, after I got tired, I thought about all songs that I've ever had in my playlist and a took little trip down the memory lane.
I remember the first English song that I ever listened to was Numb by Linkin Park. I heard my brother sing it in the bathroom and then on the computer. He would sing it all the time! It annoyed the hell out of me. I was five years old at that tme and all I was fond of was probably the hymns we sang in school.
Then came Wake Me Up When September Ends by Green Day. This is the song that I listen to every time I think about my problems. This song is so heart-stirring, I mean the lyrics are so vivid that you can actually understand what the lyricist must've gone through. This might sound exaggerated, but each person's opinion differs.
I feel your choice in music changes as you grow up. For instance, when I had entered my teens, I couldn't stop listening to Taylor Swift croon about love and boyfriends because when you are thirteen it is the hormones govern your mind, not you.
As I grew up, I realized that pop was not the only genre in music.I discovered that Eminem, Rihanna, Michael Buble, Bob Marley, Bee Gees, Ella Fitzgerald and a lot more of such singers had a fantastic genre.
Music, in my opinion, has the power to change your mood in seconds. That's what happened with me today. The day which started off with me being cranky and rude to everyone who passed my way turned into a fascinating evening for me and led me to write this blog. And I love Billy Joel for saying this- "I think music in itself is healing. It's an explosive expression of humanity. It's something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we're from, everyone loves music." This explains my thoughts on music marvelously
Before I sign off I would just like to ask the people who do not like music, of any sort, 'WHO PUT YOU ON EARTH?'
