Pictures of Music

 

            "Music" is a word with several meanings, to some it is simply entertainment, a pleasure they enjoy indulging in when they are bored of going out. For others it is an escape, a sanctuary away from the world, society, and the chaos that surrounds their hectic, everyday lives. Music plays a very important role in the very fabric of our lives; often used to reflect how someone feels towards an individual or an object or to evoke suppressed emotions. A good friend of mine has written a dark, depressing song about how text messaging has taken away much from our interpersonal conversations. In general, music is a form of expression for ones feelings and emotions, whether stated straight out or expressed through metaphors, double-meanings and hidden messages.
             Music can be used for many different reasons, and for many different occasions. Music at an Art Gallery is used to help the artist express his emotions and feelings derived from his work. Music at an elegant restaurant might be soft and calming, used to create a relaxed environment for an individual to enjoy their meal; music at a Mexican restaurant or at a kids' restaurant is often lively and upbeat. At a party music is used to entertain, to make the occasion more enjoyable - and to get the party-goers moving. A party can be called "fun" based on the social group, yet in most cases the social group would not stick around if the music does not appeal to them. .
             People have a variety of personality types, which can be reflected by the types of music they listen too. Some people enjoy a good rhythmic sound that they can dance to; they appreciate music like R&B or Hip-hop. Other people enjoy just sitting and listening as the music weaves its melodious spell, whether the fairy-like strains of Enya or the rolling notes of Strauss. Others, such as myself, prefer intense music that is based on the use of drums and electric instruments. Still others would take a classic trance, rave or techno mix over anything else anyone could put together.
