Find Yourself in the Melody

Music can be a powerful force in everyday life. 

Throughout the world, there are many differences that divide us as people, including language and culture. However, there are a few defining factors that connect us as people - these include love and music.
 
Music, and in my case, song, is an integral part to lives around the world. Many even make it their living; living for something you love is the most rewarding thing you can do for yourself.
 
From classical Beethoven to the pop music of Britney Spears, to the many individual preferences of the people who enjoy genres such as screamo, punk, techno and more, music is one in the same and brings even the most distant people together. Have you ever met someone at a concert? Or met someone with the same taste in music as you? From personal experience, I feel like I have an immediate connection that brings us closer together. A common bond that is sound.

Finding your soul in music can bring awakenings. The way a guitar riff makes you want to head bang, how the wubs in dubsteb can make you feel alive, the way a singer's voice can make your heart stop and even how dance music can make you want to move. Music can even become a type of identity - a new style, a new attitude, music is empowerment - and a savior to some.

What kind of music do you like, or do you like it at all?  Let your spirit free and listen to the sound of a beautiful harmony. You don’t have to like everything, but life is characterless and just overall boring without the simple joy that is music!
