blogg (week 3)

When it comes to music I don’t think it is useful to analyze it. Why? Because Music I s meant to be enjoyed not to be dissected by our thoughts.  It is supposed to bring happiness and relax us. If you analyze music you do not enjoy it the same way as if you were just listening to it. You need to sit back and take the music in the same way you take air in, you have to let the music penetrate your soul and you need to just live in the beat.  That is the only real way to enjoy music. If you analyze music your focusing too much on the artist and what they were trying to say through there song, but you can do all of that with out analyzing the song. If you are just listening to it and take it all in you can feel what the artist of the song is trying to say. You can feel all the emotions of the song. If the artist is trying to make you feel sad then that’s what you will feel believe if you analyze music you  detract from the experience your pretty much just losing out of the whole experience  of that song.

I do not believe that analyzing music can enhance the experience at all. Analyzing music and enjoying music do not mix together. It is either on or the other, you can not have both. If you spend all your time analyzing music you are never going to experience the joys of music, or the feelings you get when you hear a sad song. It is an amazing feeling to be able to share the same emotions that artist did when he writes a song. If you analyze music then you are trying to see what he was thinking when the artist wrote the song and that can take a very long time. And you will not get the same experience.

There is not much that you have to really enjoy music. All you have to do is find a song with a catchy beat and sit back relax and enjoy the greatness of music. Music is also meant to inspire. And the only way that you can feel the inspiration is through the emotions of the music that you are “listening” to, not analyzing.  How can you be inspired when you are analyzing every song that you listen too? To be truly inspired by music I think that you have to let the music touch your heart. Music can also motivate you on other things. For example, if you are lonely you can put on a song to make you feel like you are not alone. Or if play sports you will play a song to get you pumped up and in the mood of playing. Quindlen says “rock-and-roll still flows through my veins, not my brain.” That’s a perfect example of how music is supposed to be enjoyed and not analyzed.

My Music..(prompt 1)

If you were to go into my computer and see all the deifferent genres of music that i have in there, you would probobly think im weird. you would look at me and probobly tell me that i dont look like the type of person that would listen to that music. I get that alot, especially from my friends.

There always telling "why are you listening to that." and complaining about my music. and its not that the music i listen to isnt good. It is just that they dont have an open mind when it comes to music. They seem to stick to the same genre of music, but not me. I love all music. and my passion is to listen to music.

The type of music i listen to depends on how im feeling at that moment. Somtimes ill be thinking about my girlfriend and ill listen to romatic songs all day long. Or I can be in a lazy mood and just listen to reggae(which is usually Bob Marley). There really no patterens i follow when it comes to listening music. i just go with the flow i guess. For example, on the way to school today in the morning i was listening to some rap music(Tu-Pac). And now as im writing this im listening to "The Funeral"(which is an awsome song and you never heard it berfore you must do it before you finish reading this blog.:)) I dont that i will ever change the way i listen to music even when im old ill still be listening to what i think is good music. 

Music...

Ahhh....Music where to begin? Well first of all music has always played a big role in my life. I grew up listening to music, although most of the time while I was growing up the music I listened to wasnt what I wanted to hear. lol. I remember my parents being the ones who chose what music was being played when we take a drive somewhere. I hated it lol. And now that I look back the music they listened to was actually really good music. Not like the music thats out now which I think sucks pretty bad. Music has always been a big motivator in my life. there always seems to be a song that can help me get excited pumped to do somthing. And when im sad there are songs to cheer me up. I personally believe that with the right type of music we can do alot of things and help out our community and change the way people see their life.
