Cortney S. Warren: An Analysis

Many people would wonder how does music in some ways express how we feel or even other people like musicians / popular singers to make other people understand how they feel? Maybe why do people put their emotion/ feelings in a song they write or play. Though there are many ways people would put everything in a song that they are singing/writing on how they feel. In Music is what feelings sound like by Cortney S. Warren she states,”Given the emotionally charged nature of music, it can be an incredibly effective way to express ourselves and cope with challenging life circumstances. Because sometimes life is really hard. Really really hard. Whether it be conflict with family, ending a relationship, or experiencing trauma, we all have moments

in which we are brought to our knees with pain, sadness, and confusion.” I think this is the most important because a lot of people do go through a lot of problems in their life such as maybe going through a break up with someone you love or having someone very important to you die, most people would play/ sing a song instead of formally talking to other people about how they feel and most people wouldn’t like to talk.

So many people would choose to just make a song and sing it or play a musical instrument expressing their feelings to the people for them to understand what they had to go through, So the tone of the song or voice in music is kinda important to know how the person feels and making other people understand how they feel.

There was another thing that she had stated which was ,”In these tough life moments, music can be a constructive way to express who you are and what you are feeling. If you are feeling particularly sad about a reality in your life, listen to a song that connects you to that emotion. If you are anxious, turn up the volume in your living room and dance around. If you are angry, grab a pillow and hit is as hard as you can while listening to your favorite lyrics.” This is indeed a fact that most of us would agree because either the tone or even the lyrics can make up who and how the person is like. For example like if a person song had kinda a sad tone to it , it would definitely have sad lyrics in the song that the singer is singing. If the tone is more of a happy tone then it would probably have happy lyrics on how the person feels on this event that have happened in their life. But most people are thought of mostly on how their songs are like even how their lyrics in the songs they sing makes what they

are.

In this article that i have read in this article on “Maria A. Hernandez Music and My Feels: I can only express through song” Music is a great way to work through both the dark and the light sides of our emotions. For me, I just go all over the place with it. I truly believe that music is fantastic for happiness and emotional trauma alike.” This stood out to me because most of us sometimes we all feel like everything is against and feel like giving up sometimes in life and so this is where music comes in sometimes music can sometimes relate on how you/ we feel but can also sometimes make you feel better either maybe because of the tone of the song or even about what the lyrics of the song is saying that can relate on how you feel.
