music

To me music is always a good way to get into a great mood. Whenever I am really moody or just cranky all I need is to listen to music, I do not know why but I love listening to my music. Music helps me to concentrate during certain times, like every time I clean my room I have to have my iPod blasting, while I sing my heart out, it makes cleaning go by so much faster. I can not think of a car ride when I have not had the radio on or my favorite CD in. the music I listen to has to have, my opinion, of a good beat. I can tell by the introduction to a song whether or not I will listen through the whole thing. I love pop and anything I can dance or bop my head to. I’m not a huge fan of country but there are a few songs that can keep my vocals screeching. I do no know what it is about music that I love, may of my friends always know that if you’re in my car, the music stays on and gets turned up, it keeps me happy, which may sound strange but I do not know what I would do without it. Is there any evidence or statistic showing that music helps moods? Because I know that it helps a lot with me. I wish that I enjoyed all types of music but I tend to stay close to hip-hop and pop, fast music, I am not a fan of slow songs, it doesn’t go with my personality. I like happy songs, not sappy love songs, or anything sad. Music is supposed to be encouraging and uplifting so why listen to sad slow songs? I think music really does distract me from what is really going on. It makes cleaning fly bye, driving time goes quick, it gives me something to focus on other than what is really happening. Sometimes it can be too much of a distraction like if I am doing homework or at work it can just create more chaos. At one of my jobs we always pick our favorite CD’s for the day and just keep them on repeat, but more often then not we become extremely obnoxious, singing and playing with the radio when we should be helping customers. I guess that there are good and bad in everything that is around us, but music is one of the better things that I have in my life. Singing is a whole other story, I love to sing, it is one of my favorite things to do. All of my friends know how loud I can be and how I always sing. Whether I am working, driving, walking around a store or down the school halls I will always be singing lyrics from a song or I will be making up my own. Now this does not mean I am good, my mom diagnosed me as tone deaf, but this doesn’t stop me. Music will always be a part in my life no matter where I go and I am thankful for that. It is the only cure I have to a bad mood.
