Imagine how life without music would be? I have come to realize that music is more than just singing,it's a worship that produces postive energy.
Most people have their lives transformed through music. They are living a different life compared to how they were before they started to listen to certain kind of music.
Now let's dive into what makes music powerful.
1. It unites people across languages and backgrounds. You will find that people will enjoy the sound of a certain song but they don't even know what that song means. I remember one time when a certain African music by the name of Rafiki produced a song which was talking about mourning and because it had a powerful beat,most of us danced to that song. It was too late for us stop dancing by the time we got hold of the meaning.
2.It brings comfort. There are times a person may feel low because of a certain situation or circumstance present in their life then they get to listen to songs that speak life into their predicaments,then they feel comforted and relieved. If someone is a Christian then they are going through hardships then they get to listen to songs that talk about the positive side of hardships, they will begin to feel comforted.
3. It preserves cultures. There is a certain type of music that brings about cultural education. Some musicians make sure they balance their music with all the age groups. They are songs that old people listen to and most of them have a cultural aspect.
4. It influences moods. Sometimes a person can wake up feeling low and then decide to play songs that have postive energy, before they realize it,they find themselves feeling happy and they forget about the issue that made them low. Sometimes again, someone can be in a good mood but just hearing certain songs that produce negative energy,that people will feel sad and their mood will change. It's important to choose a playlist because it influences moods.
5. It brings back memories. I remember there are songs we used to play and dance with my ex boyfriend and whenever I hear then playing,I remember him and just thank God that I am where I am today.
Some memories are painful and some are beautiful. It just depends with how you lived your life in your past. Whenever I play certain gospel songs,I cry with tears of Joy because I remember the times I was heartbroken and these songs made me strong.
6. It lift spirits. Whenever I want to start praying,I start singing praise songs then later shift to worship songs and before I realize it,I find myself busting into tougues. My spirit is always lifted through listening to musical pieces. Its very important to choose songs that will lift your spirit as you wake up in the morning and be retiring to bed.
7. It teaches alot. Through music a person can learn alot about different things. For example, gospel musicians compose their songs using scriptures,so when you're listening to a particular song it's more like someone is preaching to you.
Secular muscians also teach something in their songs. For example a musician composes a song about how we need to love one another in a marriage relationship. If you listen to it,you will learn something.
8. It tells stories. Some musicians are so creative with their music genres. Some will pick a story and put it into a song and when one is listening to it ,it will be just like someone is telling a story to them. It's important to pay attention to what the composer of the song is trying to communicate.
