Song Autobiography Music is a big part of my life, but I am not a musician. I enjoy listening to music no matter what I am doing or what mood I am in. I listen to most genres of music although my usual go to music is contemporary Christian. When I was growing up we were not allowed to listen to “secular” music, so the radio was very seldom on. However I was exposed to a lot of music as a child, my mom sang in many groups at our church and all of my parents friends played the piano, guitar or sang so we always had music when we got together. As for myself I have always loved listening to music, I sang in the choir at school and sang at church. Now I do not sing if others can hear me, so most of my singing is done in the car with …show more content…
My faith has given me strength and comfort in great times of need. My motto in life is to always learn something from my mistakes or hard times that come my way. I have had many hard times in my life but without them I would not be the person I am today. Without the strength I gain from my belief in God I would not be able to look at adversity and ask what I can learn from this. I have chosen Praise You in the Storm by Kutless, this song is about difficult times that will come but we can still praise God because he will lift us up to be able to come through the storms. My second choice for an important person is my Mom. I get my strength from my mom, she has had a lot of adversity in her life but she continues to try to make her life better. She gave up a lot of her dreams to provide for our family. She has struggled for as long as I can remember with pain in her back but, she never let it stop her or slow her down, she continued to stay active in our lives even though sometimes I know she would hurt from keeping up with us and our kids. The song I have chosen for my mom is Fight Song by Rachel Platten. The song describes fighting to make the life she
Music has played an important part in my life. My love for music comes from my dad. Growing up I remember him having a room full of CDs and instruments that he played daily. The songs varied in genres and the instruments ranged from pianos, violins to drums. I grew up loving almost every style of music so, it is very difficult for me to dislike a song unless, it is vulgar or “dark”.
The song I decided to use is, Si no Te hubieras ido by Marco Antonio Solis. In English it translates to If you hadn’t left by Marco Antonio Solis. He is a Mexican singer, musician, composer and producer. I love this song because this is the song I would listen to over and over after my grandma passed away. Her passing was hard on me because I was close to her and this song is what made it easier for me to sleep at night.
Our group chose "Speak To The Hand" by Lakita Garth. This song talks about the health
Music is a large consumption of my daily life and the artists I listen to have shaped me in some way. Listening to music is one of my most time
"Time Will Tell" by Gregory Alan Isakov. This song is kind of sad, but it always reminds me that you must move on. That no matter what the world keeps spinning, and everything will be alright. " Time, she says, / 'There's no turning back, / keep your eyes on the tracks' / Through the fields, somewhere there's blue / Oh, time will tell, she'll see us through" (Isakov verse 1).
One of my all-time favorite songs that tells a story is, "Love Like Crazy," by Lee Brice. This song tells about how Lee Brice went through life and how he made it through with the love of his life. "Be a best friend, tell the truth, and overuse ‘I love you,’ go to work, do your best, don`t out smart your common sense, never let your praying knees get lazy, and love like crazy," is a meaningful line from the lyrics of the song. This line of the lyrics tells how a person can get through life through the good and bad times. More people in this world should take this song as advice for life. I have listened to this song over a thousand times, and I get more out of it each time I listen to it. I relate to this song`s story because I am living this story right now in my life. I was seventeen when I found the love of my life. Everyone around me told me I was crazy, and I had no clue what love was. I have proven them wrong so far because I have been with the love of my life for four years now. Also, I am a child grew up with nothing and I have learned that I have to work for what I what in life. I have worked since I was fifteen, and I have loved every minute of it. I also am one who will follow my dreams even if everyone around me is telling me that I cannot do it, or I am not able to do it. This song`s story has been an inspiration to me in many

Through the use a pathos based strategy, Kendrick demonstrates to his listeners how life can change in an instant
Of all musical genres country music is perhaps the one most influenced by a male presence. Country music is often associated with the classic cowboy strumming a guitar around a campfire or riding his horse with a guitar strapped to his back. Even the politics of country music is inclined towards a male-dominated, republican, conservative, pro-war stance (Spong 184). The stereotypical women of country music “behave properly” and passively follow the same values as men do. Therefore, in 2003 when the Dixie Chicks, a three member all female country music band, became the top selling female group of all time it was quite an accomplishment. Their success began in 1997 with an image that embraced their versatility. Martie Maguire and Emily Robison, who are sisters, played fiddle and banjo and provided background vocals to lead vocalist Natalie Maines, gifted with a strong, clear voice. Maines stood out from the others with her forceful stage presence. They wore feminine, bling infused, non-countrified outfits. They were pretty to look at and kind of goofy in demeanor (129). The kind of young women fans could imagine having a lot of fun with, but also the kind that young women could identify with through their music. Songs like “Goodbye Earl” described a strong woman who has had enough of her abusive husband and ends up killing him. However, the band delivered it in a style that was far from morose. It sent a clear message of girl power for many women (129). Many accolades followed from the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association (CMA) which included Entertainer of the Year, Top Vocal Group, and album of the Year (Towner 293). During the first five years of their career they sold 28 million copies of the three records...

Whether it be the way we relate to lyrics, or the way that a melody makes us feel, we can’t deny the influential value of country music. Everyday billions of people around the world rely on country music to get them through the day.

Music is one of the most fantastical forms of entertainment. Its history stretches all the way from the primitive polyrhythmic drums in Africa to our modern day pop music we listen to on our phones. It has the ability to amaze us, to capture our attention and leave us in awe. It soothes the hearts of billions, and it is so deeply rooted in my life that it has touched my heart as well. Everyday I walk to the beat of the song stuck in my head and hum along to the melody. For me, to listen to music be lifted into the air by the hands of your imagination and float around for a while. You forget about your worries, your troubles and find peace within the sound. Every chapter in my life is attached with a song. Every time I listen to a certain song, thoughts of my past come flooding back
my mom and I had a special song that she would sing to me if I was sick, sad, or
“Music doesn't lie. If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” This was said by Jimi Hendrix. I know exactly what he is talking about, and the music that is made is exactly that. Music is not just for entertainment purposes but for also changing the world.
