Snapshot 4 Noel

Music gives me life. I can not go a day without listening to music of some sort. Music helps me clear my head and has helped me many times when life has been tough. I have had music in my life in many different ways. I was in the choir, I played the violin and the piano growing up. For me music is a comfort and it relaxes me as well. I don't have a favorite artist or band because that would be impossible for me to choose. When I am listening to music my mind is as free as a bird, it goes places and I get lost in thought a lot. A lot of times I zone out and will be in my own world because I get so moved by the music. When I was younger sometimes I would just mess around on the piano and make up my own music. I am happy in some ways my parents made me do piano for 11 years of my life. There would be times I regretted it and hated it but now I am happy I was able to learn such a beautiful instrument.
A song that I like is from one of my favorite bands; Just Like You by Three Days Grace. A lot of my life I have felt like I wasn't good enough or that I needed to change. When I listen to this song it reminds me that I don't need to be just like everyone else. There are many people out there who have tried to tell me how I am suppose to live my life. Many people who walk over me and try to get me to follow what others do. This song kinda helps realize you don't need to be just like everyone, you shouldn't let others walk over you and tell you how to live your life. A lyric I like is "You're wrong if you think I'll be just like you". It's gives someone confidence saying you don't have to listen to them and you are free to be you.There are many songs like this and I know it speaks differently to everyone. Just like in many different cultures music can bring people together in times of sorrow and in times of happiness.
This is one of the lyrics from the song Just Like You. This lyric speaks in many ways showing how we are able to be just like someone else but it's a choice that only we can make. Not letting others choose for us.

  1. I as well cannot go a day without listening to music. Music is a way to make all of your worries go away and you can just relax. "Music helps me clear my head and has helped me many times when life has been tough." I liked this line from your blog post because music has also helped me get through some hard times.

  2. I like how you said "Many people who walk over me and try to get me to follow what others do". I have this happen to me too. I think it is a good thing to be yourself. Music also relaxes and helps me focus on my life or to take me away from my life.

  3. I agree with you everyday music has to be in my life, if it just the radio on in the car on my 20 minute drive to school or listening to it all day. When reading this, there was a sentance that really spoke to me "It's gives someone confidence saying you don't have to listen to them and you are free to be you." There are people out there that dont have confidence in themselves which is a huge shame!

  4. I like how you stated "Music gives me life. I can not go a day without listening to music of some sort. Music helps me clear my head and has helped me many times when life has been tough." I completely agree with you and understand how you feel. Music is basically my life and has always been. I also, cannot go a day without listening to music. I listen to it every day some how and some way. I always listen to music to make me feel better no matter what mood I am in.
