Music is......

Music is so many things to me. A list of what music means to me would be endless, because, in odd ways, music effects almost everything in my life. To save us all a little time, I've chosen to highlight a few of the reasons music has had such a powerfully positive effect on my life. For me, music is many things, but here are a few of my favorites:



Music is... a best friend.

No matter what I'm going through, there is always a song to match my mood. Like a good friend, there is a song that speaks to me when I'm feeling up or down. Like a good friend, there is always a song to cheer me up or sulk with me in my (now much rarer) times of misery. Music, just like a friend, moves me and does what it can to relate to what I'm going through. While music can certainly never take the place of a real friend (no hugs, no situation-specific words of wisdom...), it's a pretty good substitute when times are tough.
 
Music is... a motivator.

When I just don't feel like doing something -- going to that party or talking my dog for a walk -- music pushes me along. The right songs can push me in new directions and remind me that I can do it, no matter what my sluggish brain is telling. Music -- the right kind of music -- can be deeply inspiring and can offer me words of encouragement when I feel like giving up (or not even trying). When I'm feeling listless and unmotivated, turning to an upbeat tune on my iPod can work miracles. Suddenly I'm energized, revived, ready to take on whatever challenge might come my way. Music can get inside of me and pump me up. It can get me excited about even the most mundane situations, motivating me to realize that there is always something to look forward to.



Music is... a stress reliever.

The first thing I do when I get in my car, day or night, is put on music. When I forget my iPod, it's the radio I switch on. When I can't find a good song on the radio, I pop on a favorite CD. I would have a very, very hard time driving without music, especially after a long day at work. After work, I actually appreciate the time I spend in the car on the way home, just jammin' out to some tunes. It's a great way to for me to relax and unwind. When I feel stressed, I can just close the door to my bedroom, put on some relaxing music, and just wait for the stress of the day to fade away. At times, music is even so relaxing that I use it to help me get to sleep during particularly anxious times in my life. Music, the calm kind, soothes me and puts me at ease, in a place outside of my cares and concerns.
 
Music is... a gift.

I'm the type of person that spends hours and hours carefully crafting CDs for my friends and family members, taking joy in writing down all of the titles and artists when the final product comes together. As much as I love listening to music, I love sharing it even more. There is nothing like hearing a great song and thinking, "Hey! I know someone who will love this song!" Likewise, there's nothing quite like when a friend says to me, "Hey, you've gotta hear this. You'll love it!" and turns up the stereo. Sharing music is one of my favorite things to do. It's a great way for me to bond with other people and to find out about new songs that I might not have otherwise discovered. As an ex of mine knows well, the way to my heart isn't flowers or candy -- it's a thoughtfully made CD.


Music is... a party starter.

One of the best ways to get any party started is to play some great music.No matter what kind of party you're having -- a low-key night with friends, a college-style rager -- you need good music. There is something about putting on music that changes the dynamic of almost any situation. It livens things up and encourages people to start moving. As someone who loves to dance (even though I'm not all that good at it!), I firmly believe that a party hasn't really started until there's some sort of music working its way through the crowd. People like music. It spices things up. It makes life -- and parties in particular -- that much more fun!
 
Music is... a teacher.

Everything I've learned in life, I've learned from music. Okay, that's not entirely true, but, honestly, I cannot even begin to tell you how much I've learned from music. Before I knew what love was, music taught me about it. Music taught me about pain, heartache, joy, and happiness. Lately, music has taught me to be positive, to embrace happiness, and to see the good in life. Music has inspired new ideas in me and made me think about life from new perspectives. Just like when I read a profound book, certain songs have the ability to teach me new things, to think about the world and other people in new ways. This, for me, is one of the most amazing things about music and the thing I am most grateful for. Without music, I know I wouldn't know all that I do today.

Music really is a way of living and realising that you are something more than what you really are. You are the part of this huge huge system of the universe and music is what connects every component of this system.... So, keep listening to music of any form....:))
