Recommended: Music is therapy essay

Then, in the span of two minutes, I'm sliding on the wood floors of the kitchen singing at the top of my lungs the certain song that's had the pleasure of being trapped in my head the whole day. The empty room is my stage, and whatever happens to be in my hands is my microphone. My mind isn't focused on the stresses of the world. Everything seems to blur into the background as the song takes over the spotlight. All that's deemed important is not butchering the next line of lyrics. At that moment everything is perfect, even if it only lasts for one minute. Occasionally, I actually learn

    Growing up as an only child I made out pretty well. You almost can’t help but be spoiled by your parents in some way. And I must admit that I enjoyed it; my own room, T.V., computer, stereo, all the material possessions that I had. But there was one event in my life that would change the way that I looked at these things and realized that you can’t take these things for granted and that’s not what life is about.

    For instance, “Where's the "good" in "goodbye"?/Where's the "nice" in "nice try"?” These few lines from the chorus are repeatedly sung throughout the song. And as the chorus shows up, the song starts to pick up speed for awhile and then briefly slow down and speed up again when it’s sung, all the while mixing up the choice of instruments for the instrumental portion of the song. The lyrics in this song can really make you wonder things like where is the good in goodbye or the nice in nice try. Besides the chorus, lines like “I can't take the ache from heartbreak” or “No matter how it falls apart/There's an "art" in breaking hearts” compel and create the mood of regret, loneliness, and heartache within the audience. In addition, to the word twists, certain words are repeated and emphasized in a way that catches your attention, such as, mistake, art, heartbreak, hearts, hell, or ache. At the end, the song begins to slow down, and ending with lyrics of regret, “If I could turn back time, then I would re-write those lines.” The lyrics in “No Good in Goodbye” can be quite relatable if you’ve experienced a broken heart, and even if you haven’t, you can sort of experience what a broken heart would feel like in a way because of all the emotion written in the lyrics and in the music that
