Music is a way of
life. It sets the tone for the day; it has the effect of changing the mood of a
movie scene and has the power over the way we live. The amount of people you
see on the bus or walking down the street with their headphones plugged in and
their whole mind in their music shows how important it is for our everyday
lifestyles. Whether it is classical or punk rock everyone has at least one song
that they would either moderately enjoy or become totally obsessed with.
Being a musician
myself I have many songs and albums that have truly inspired me. One of my all
time favorite bands has to be queen; even in the twenty-first century you are
able to appreciate the sheer beauty of their carefully crafted work. Take
Bohemian Rhapsody as an example - one cannot compare the amount of musicality
involved in this song that is able to catch the attention of anyone. It was a
groundbreaking rock, opera that created a whole new set of rules in the UK
music industry. But saying this I think there is only one song that that
betters this, which is under pressure by Queen featuring David Bowie. This is
one of the very few songs that is extremely important to me. No matter how many
times I listen to the song it never gets old.
Songs- what makes
them so significant? Why are we so caught up in finding out the next best song
or craze? The diverse music genres globalize this source of inspiration. From
cultural music to classic or rock, each piece of music bares the signature of
their artist. Music has its own history. In every decade there will always be
certain musicians who define that period in time, and their songs are timeless.
Everyone has heard of the famous band from Liverpool called the Beatles, along
with the king of rock Elvis Presley. When you hear certain music, particularly
if you were alive in that time, it can spark a memory or a feeling that you had
when you first heard the piece. It can remind you of the people you once new
and lift your spirits.
Music is seen as a
way to express oneself. As cliché as it may sound, you are able to lose
yourself in your work and have the focus and dedication to come out with a
finish product. Music is one of the key factors, which brings together students
and teachers alike. In the recent battle of the bands, different year groups
celebrated the sheer pleasure of making music together. The music department at
JFS inspires many people to follow their passions and talents that are
showcased on many occasions.
