If it were not for music, I do not think I would even have a being. I don't just listen to Music, I have a realtionship with it. People can find an out with music. It can take you away from this world and to another. I am always looking for good music that will lift me up, that will make me feel good with life, and most importantly a song that connects me with God.
Guess what people. THERE IS SUCH THING AS BAD MUSIC!
what is bad music though? I have an idea of what it is. No, it's not a certain type of genre that is bad. Here, in my opinion, is what bad music is: music that talks about having lots of sex, drugs, and alcohol. Also, songs that are just depressing and kinda in a teenage way make you want to give up on life. Sorta like making you depressed. Another type of bad music is music that just makes you tense and angry all the time. Our english teacher was having us listen to a list of random songs. Something about mood. I can not recall very well because im sure i just put it off as useless information until my mid-term. But there was a very sad song that played that just made me feel like crawling into a hole and sitting in the dark for the rest of the day. That is bad music. Then the next song was a crazy death metal tune that made so many people in the class tense up (me being one of them) that she had to change it kinda quick because it was so noticeable. The song just made me want to punch someone and I couldn't even tell what they were saying or what it was about! That's bad music. then the thirda song was the classic "Don't Worry be Happy". it just made me feel so happy and giddy that I just wanted to give everyone around me a hug. That's GOOD music.
So go out and listen to music like that. If your christian, listen to a christian station. I started listening to one this past summer and im hooked. It makes my day so much better. For others, im not sure what to tell you other than make a playlist of songs that lighten your day. "Outside My Window" by Sarah Buxton is my life's theme song! I swear, just listening to it shoots you with rainbows (in a good way). Now don't think that hard rock or just rock music is bad music. I listen to a rock band by the name of FireFlight and they make me energetic. Happy love songs like Taylor Swift's "Today Was a Fairytale" are great to becacuse they have such a happy ending and a happy energetic feel. Just find something that clicks. It's just that simple of a concept.
So please take my advice. Find music that makes your day good, that turns your frowns upside down, that makes your worst day the best. Find that music that connects you with God.
Find music that makes it easier to breathe.
