What is Music?

My opinion on Music
My personal opinion of music is very strong, I doubt that i could live without it. Music is an opinion of the person/people that have written or sung it. It is everywhere in this world, sometimes used spiritually, sometimes used just to be there keeping the person company.
Music to Me is
Music to me is a place to go and relax. I use it to do alot of things such as; concentrate on work, get pumped up for sports, or sit in my room drowning out everything else but my thoughts. To other people? I really couldn't tell you. Maybe their just like me, but maybe they see music as something else. Afterall, everyone has their own perspective on these sort of things right?
Music in My Everyday Life
I almost always have music playing in my ears or around me, and if i don't have anything playing, I'm humming the last catchy song that i heard in my head. I use music in class and even in the change room getting ready for a football game. Zoning into my concentration, picturing hitting the other team as the bass beats into my head. Drilling them into the ground with every down beat. So as you can see, music is a very powerful ingredient in my everyday life. From waking up in the morning, to falling asleep at night. Music is there for me, like a best friend would stick with you through a war. You know? Kinda sorta like that.
And this is what music is to me!

  1. I love how you describe music as a best friend that it can always be there for you. I think music is an important way for people to express themselves.

  2. Interesting perspective, Mitchell - I don't know if I've ever heard the metaphor of music as a place of solace. I've heard thinks like it (I use music to enhance emotions, dwell in sadness, celebrate happiness), but I like the visual of music as a warm blanket, a secret friend, as family you can rely on.

    Use stronger language in your blogs - part of their purpose is to try to convince others of your convictions. Avoid kinda sorta, etc. I would also revise the spelling, capitalization, etc....the way your present your writing is the way others will view your ideas. Great ideas in sloppy work are often disregarded or ignored.

    Good blogging - 9/10
