What Music Means to Me


            To me, music is an expression of self.  It’s a chance to put concepts, ideas, and emotions into an audible sense rather than keep them inside.  There are things that we simply can’t put words to, but through music we can easily share something like that.  We can express anger, happiness, confusion, melancholy and everything in between.  When I’m listening to music I pick and choose parts that have a real meaning, whether it comes from the lyrics or from the instruments.  Everything depends on the connection that is built between the performer and the audience.  There is a certain feeling that comes directly from the performer in the way he or she plays, but the audience needs to take part as well to fully appreciate and understand the performer’s message.  When everything comes together, music can be an invaluable tool that can change the way people think and push an entire people towards acting on something.
