The Sound Of Music

The beauty of the music is you can picture the image the singer is describing as you listen or read and it's more like you are feeling every bit of it. It's like your heart swells up and you realise that no matter how hurt you are, no matter how lost you feel when you are meant to shake the world with emotions, you will shake it. If I have to express the meaning behind the music I listen to is like in a perfect world where people would listen without prejudice. They wouldn't have to learn another language to convince people their music has a background and a personal meaning that is relatable at the same time. They say that music is a universal language, meaning that you don’t necessarily need to understand the words in a song to enjoy the music. This way, music connects people all over the world with its universal language. I love listening to music especially because of this reason. Music has the power to unite people, make us feel at peace, and make us feel understood. It is something to dance to, bond over, and even listen to when alone. Music is not just sound, it is its own language and it communicates so much.?

There are different types of genres in music: Rock, pop music, hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and K-pop.

I love listening to pop music, R&B which means rhythms and blues, k-pop, and film songs. Why I love these genres because pop music songs are often rhythmic and straightforward, with a strong focus on melody and harmony. Pop music is more commercialised than other genres. Pop music is usually in a major or minor Key with lyrics dealing with love, relationships, and feelings. And the lyrics are easy to sing. The R&B genre lies in connecting with the people, expressing personality, and asserting cultural freedom.

In K-pop music, every artist draws inspiration and influence from various genres of music. K-pop isn’t just about musicality or top hits. It’s an immersive experience that expands into other expressions of art, including dance, fashion, videography, and lyrics of the song. Magic Shop by BTS, is one of my favorite songs. This is a healing song. The kind that makes you search in yourself for that magic shop to drink warm tea and look at the milky way and think I’m really going to be okay.

Filmi songs should be connected to the storyline and the situation of the scene whether it’s a happy ending, love, or sad. Connecting to your own country music gets you to feel elated.
