Recommended: Positive effects of music in life

Musicians often times write songs from life experiences or from things they see and I think those pieces are the ones that are most impactful and amazing. One such band has been through more than most. Panic! At The Disco had at one time four members who were friends with very different opinions on music and life. And with every album reaching #1 under the US Billboard under Alternative, they have to be doing something right.

The album was released in 2002 and was clearly influenced by the nations mood after the terrorist attacks. “The Rising” tells the tale of a firefighter in one of the buildings trying to rescue people. “On my back’s a sixty pound stone on my shoulder a half mile line”(Springsteen) is a clear reference to a fireman’s equipment and hoses.

Reference is made to seeing Mary in the garden, which is referring to Mary Magdalene when Jesus rose from the grave. The lyrics are haunting but the way the song is sung still leav...

  • Essay On Authenticity

    1228 Words  | 3 Pages

    Authenticity, which could be described with terms like “real”, “honest”, “truthful”, “with integrity”, “actual”, “genuine”, “essential and “sincere” 0, seems to be lacking with performers who do not write their own songs. The fans feel deceived as the artists perform the songs as if they were their own, and form an ostensible connection with the fans. Once the true writing credits escape from under the fame of the performer, the authenticity of the artist is greatly reduced. Fans feel a lack of truthfulness, which “interacts with the social and cultural context” and gain a feeling of betrayal that their favourite artist has gone for commercial gain. While the performer may be gifted, it is the composer that succeeds in “conveying the impression ‘that the listener’s experience of life is being validated, that music is “telling it like it is” for them’”.

  • 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.

  • Disconnection

    When people are feeling down or there is something wrong with them they tend to disconnect from the world and go into one of their own. In this place they find comfort and safety and it is somewhere that no one can bother them for the time being. I myself find comfort just lying in my bed staring at the ceiling and drifting off in thought. For artists though, they are able to find this comforting place in music. Blink 182, Linkin Park, and NAS are some of the famous artists that are able to disconnect from the world through their songs. They are able to get all of there thoughts out through music and the world has a chance to hear them.

  • What Are The Pros And Cons Of Pop Music

    In life people need to be able to communicate their individualism. Music is a universal language, and human individuality has created countless different genres to communicate their own beliefs and personality’s. While looking at all the artists in all the different genres and the people who listen to them, it is very easy to see how many different kinds of people exist in the world. Every genre has things to make them unique, certain stereotypes that types of music tend to carry. Rock has the non-conformist rebels who listen to music that really means something to them; pop is associated with a large group of teenage girls swooning over the latest boy group, rap with large amounts of money being spent on women, drugs, and alcohol, Country with its nostalgic description of what life is like outside of the concrete jungle.
