    I believe in music’s ability to transform one’s mood. Every time I turn on my iTouch or listen to a song on YouTube my mood becomes that of the song’s regardless of how I originally felt, be it happy, sad, angry, or whatever. If I were to put on music by Jeffree Star my mood would instantly become more happy and upbeat. Bullet for My Valentine, on the other hand, would transform my emotions into rage. Play Everlast and I too would be singing the blues. It happens to me every time and I have witnessed it happen to others as well, particularly at concerts.

  • The Giving Tree a Son Written by Tim Lopez: Giving and Receiving Love

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    I can personally relate this song to my past relationship with a guy of 2 years. We had many rough patches while we were together. There were things in the relationship that I can never erase; yet I feel as though I will never fully let him go. He's still trying so hard to get me back and I'm taking advantage of it. I get many mixed emotions about him and the thought of starting up the relationship again. The hardest part is that he's the only person I truly feel I can completely be myself around. Yet, I fear that it will start right back where it ended. All he wants to be is my giving tree and make me happy.

    If music reveals emotions, it is not a normal emotion like any other (Stecker 273). The expression in music can be considered a traditionalized phenomenon (Stecker 273). There are common questions about how many or what type of emotions music can create (Stecker 273). People question the possibility for music to be an element in a certain pattern (Stecker 273). Which can be a very emotional pattern (Stecker 273). This can go from laughing hysterically, to being uneasily scared, to surprise, to unusual panic, to strange sorrow, to acceptance, and finally serenity (Stecker 273).

  • How Music Has Influenced Me

    319 Words  | 1 Pages

    Throughout my life, music has always been a major influence. It has the power to change my mood when I'm feeling down, but the thing I find most intriguing about music is that it doesn't always end up improving your mood: like all forms of art, it imitates life, which is not always portrayed in a positive light. The musicians that I admire most have the versatility to induce several different emotional responses in the same piece. This quality is present in most of the wide variety of music I listen to, from Russian composer Dmiti Shostakovich, to Chicago jazz band Tortoise, to California pop/rock sextet Mr. Bungle.

    A father is the first man that a girl loves, and never forgets. My dad has taught me life’s most important lessons, and always protects me from the harm and negativity from the world. I chose the song “Daddy’s Lessons” by Beyonce, because her song’s theme is about the lessons he taught her while she was growing up. By seeing the way that my dad has gotten back up after being knocked down countless number of times, “he taught me to be strong” (line 27). Even though my dad may not realize this, he is the reason why I am willing to take chances in life. In 2008, my family was going through a rough time financially, when our family business was failing, but my dad did not mourn over the losses or mistakes, but rather attempted to make things better.

  • The Effects of Music

    2204 Words  | 5 Pages

    Emotions are easily affected by outside forces. Music can provoke emotions of sadness, grief, joy, and even ecstasy. There are several different aspects of music that change how a song is interpreted. From these interpretations come emotions. Among them is the tempo, which is the speed of the song. If a song is sad, the tempo is often slower. If a song is meant to be happy, the tempo is quick and light. If the intention of a song is to bring about fear, it is either extremely slow and eerie or quick and adrenaline pumping. Another factor of interpretation is the key it is in. A key is, “a particular scale or system of tones” (Dictionary.com). There are 24 different keys that are separated into two categories. These categories are major and minor. The major are made up of more sharps, and the minor of more flats. The major key is used to express feelings of joy and happiness. The minor key however, is used to express feelings of sadness, depression, and regret. When the two are awkwardly combined, the key of the music changes to neither minor or major, and is referred to as a dissonance. A dissonance is defined as, “a simultaneous combination of tones conventionally accepted as being in a state of unrest and needing completion” (Dictionary.com). When a passage of music uses a dissonance, the ultimate goal is to create ...
