Alright this post is about what makes music good to me. I want this post to be a little interactive. I want to know how other people not only define music, but how people define good music. TO me music is an expression from the heart, an expression that allows you to feel what the song is saying, whether or not it makes you want to move. Music is the expression from the soul of anyone, which is what to me, makes it so appealing, and which is one of the reasons that I choose music and poetry as my release.
Music to me is truly one of the main embodiments of freedom to express yourself. I cant really put my finger on what makes good music good, and of course my opinion will differ from that of everyone else. Maybe that’s something about good music. You have so many different forms of expression, from different people, different walks of life, different reasons for going into this particular art form, and still they can express themselves in the way that they feel is right.
Digressing from my topic just a little bit, I don’t think freedom of speech is something that we treasure here in the United States. We are all so busy just living, we don’t take the time to appreciate things like this freedom that we possess. Not realizing the fact that others don’t have it, and they cannot express themselves in the ways that we can. But getting back on track with regards to music, the freedom we have there is not taken for granted, but poorly used. It is poorly used because the useless profanity, objectification of women, and the violence that is encouraged by such songs is such a sad use for such a wonderful gift. That being said though, that’s what freedom of speech entails.
But getting back on track even further, I think that good music makes you feel. And that’s what music is supposed to do. Whether it makes you think of the time you spent all night crying, or the time you spent at your happiest moment, music makes you feel. It makes you feel and makes you remember that you are one thing... human.
