“Without music life would be a mistake” Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche the German philosopher said. Do you think that’s collect? Do you need music for your life? My answer is YES. Really? My answer is still YES. I do believe that music has power.
I need music everyday all the time. When I get up, eat, think, even I’m at silence place, I’m with music inside of me. I feel empty without music. I have often heard that human need sounds every time. I think that ‘sound’ means music for me.
Music has power. When I’m feeling depressed, I listen to music with sad and dark tone. Most people think it’s not a good way to be feeling fresh, but it helps me when I’m really depressed, I need that kind, because I need time to be more sad and desolate. After music and I cried, I feel better. On the other hand, depressed a little like feeling lazy, sluggish, or dull and can’t do my assignments, I play light and happy music. It gives me a sunlight and makes me do work. Music is the essence to go through life.
When I feel that music has power most, is when I’m at a live concert. At a live concert, you can feel music like a wave. It is very rare thing to feel a musical wave. The vibration of percussion, the heavy tone of bass. Not only from your ears, you can feel music with your skin. From a live concert, I don’t know what kind of feeling you would get, happy, buoyant, cheerful, lonely, sad, sleepy, anger, but I can promise you can feel something. For me, every emotion from it makes me realize that I am living and breathing.
While I need music all the time, of course, we have moments for we don’t need music. For example, during exams and thinking the answer. In a silent classroom, a professor stares students. The sound you can hear is only noise from mechanical pens. But listen to the noise carefully…! Noise is a scale. Can you hear? Noise makes you happy! Have fun with exams! But don’t sing!
