SING!!

In class this week, we discussed the effects of music. I listen to music often, I am even listening to music as I write this blog post. Over the last day or so I have been thinking lots about music and what each song represent and why do I listen to certain music. Here are a few things I have learned as I have thought about this.  

I have started to really listen to the lyrics of songs and what they are expressing. At my job, I often have pandora playing for background music and because I love finding new songs. Well one songs came on and at first I really like the beat, I was about to add the song to my Spotify play list but then I began to really listen to the song and what the lyrics were saying. I quickly changed the song. Even though the song had a great beat, the song was talking about having a one night stand and getting someone into bed. For the rest of the day, I have found myself hearing the lyrics of each songs I have been listening to.  I want to filled my day with good music that uplifts and brighten people day.. just like that Gavin DeGraw

I love music, I love the way it brings people together and help people. I know this post may seem a bit scattered but if you take anything away from this post please remember these two simple things. First, remember that the type of music you listen to represent what you stand for and believe. Second, Use music for good by allowing music to brighten those touch days and moments in your life.  Don't be afraid to sing a song at the top of your lungs, have a dance party and just fill your life with good music. When life gets rough, take a few moments, turn on your favorite song and just SING.. and dance if you like dancing :) 

Here is a great example of what that looks like :)

Thanks Pentatonix for this great song!
