MUSIC

Music has had many influences on my life. I always have music playing in my room, or on my ipod.

The music that I listen to always depends on the kind of mood I am in. When I’m upset or in a bad mood, I listen to rock music like Three Days Grace, or Billy Talent. When I’m hanging out with friends, we listen to upbeat music that creates a fun atmosphere. Some of my favorite music that I can listen to no matter what mood I am in is Christina Aguilera, Tupelo Honey, The Fray, and Carrie Underwood.

The places you go play music to create the desired atmosphere. When you go to the mall, you hear the top songs that are always on the radio. Hearing these songs played at the mall may influence your decision to listen to these songs or not because the mall is a popular place, so everyone hears the same music labeling it “the music to listen to.” The popular songs are also advertised in movies, and advertisements. I personally don’t choose my music preference based on “the music to listen to.” I won’t make a new CD of all the latest songs unless I like them.

The lyrics in songs usually have a big impact on whether you like a song or not. Whenever I hear a new song, I always look up the lyrics when listening to the song to see what the song is actually saying. Also, when I get to know the songs and listen to the lyrics carefully, they sometimes make me realize things that I didn’t before. I don’t like to listen to music that has tons of swearing in it because then it can rub off on me. Another reason why music is a big part of my life because it’s comforting when I am just in a blahh mood and not up for much, I love to just sit and do nothing but listen to music. Christina Aguilera is one of my favorite singers because a lot of the songs she sings, are real life and genuine.
