“Music is Life Itself” – Louis Armstrong
The day of June 21 is dedicated to every musician and singer in the world as World Music Day. It’s for those too who enjoy listening to music. This day gives us a special excuse to keep playing our favorite tracks to celebrate the day. No matter how bad our day is, music can make us feel relieved in seconds. Without even noticing, our body starts dancing to the rhythm of our favorite song. No matter how old a song or music is, it never expires or gets old. Music is our brain’s food because it relaxes our mind. In fact, even animals and plants enjoy music in their own ways.
Music has always been there
Since time immemorial, we humans have been enjoying different types of music and improving and creating new types since then. Music isn’t involved in only worldly affairs, but it also plays a huge role in spirituality since its birth in this world. In different religions, God’s voice is explained as a melody unlike any type of melody that ever existed in the world. Sages, saints, and devotees have always sung praises of the Almighty, playing different musical instruments and singing with their melodious voices that still echo through our ears and minds. Today too, people get attracted to Mosques, Churches, Gurudwaras, and Temples thanks to the spiritual music being played there. Such types of music are the best out there as they benefit our body, mind, and soul.
Facing problems? Play Your Favorite Track and Let It Go
Music is a way of expressing our feelings. Songwriters, singers, musicians, and everyone involved in the creation of beautiful songs tell their own stories and feelings to us through songs. There are sad songs, happy songs, depressing songs, and angry songs that can make us feel different emotions. Many tend to listen to sad or angry songs if they are sad or angry with someone. Because doing so makes them let out their feelings and share them with the song by singing along with the lyrics. If you can share your sorrows with your living friends, why not with your favorite song, which is going to be always there for you? It seems like a good idea, and letting out anger or sorrow this way helps improve health as well. Therefore, don’t bottle up your feelings and let them flow with the waterfall of music.
Music Opens Up Doors to a Different World
Play your favorite song with high volume or wear earbuds to listen to the song. What would you feel? You may feel like you have come to a totally different world where no worries exist. Whether humming the song or singing along, it gives much pleasure, especially when we are in a good mood and the song is also meant to enlighten the mood.
Nature is the best Musician
Music is all around us, in case you never noticed. The chirping of birds, sounds of insects, blowing wind, raining, the sound of someone’s walking or dancing, etc., are some of the examples where we can find different melodies. Musicians, songwriters, and singers usually get their inspiration from nature, from their surroundings, and even from the people they meet or observe. Music can even be there where you least expect it to be.
Music Narrows Barriers
Although the ways of enjoying music and music type preferences differ from culture to culture and age to age, music can still be considered a way of narrowing gaps and bringing people together. For example, in birthday or marriage anniversary parties, people enjoy the songs and dance to them without even realizing their preference or age. Many songs today are played worldwide no matter which nation or culture they belong to. Songs sung in different languages even help learn new languages, learn new cultures, and be a perfect global citizen.
