This can negatively affect the artist’s career. Music artists shouldn’t have their songs in advertising.
In the article, “Can Music Save Your Life?,” Mark Edmundson discusses the different impact music can have on one’s life. He starts off the article with the use of rhetorical questions about how music affects one and a personal example of a song that impacted his life. Edmundson then describes how his music choices affected his attitude and moodiness with specific examples about how certain negative song choices could explain and/or justify his negative emotions or vice-versa. Later, he mentions how music can help one better understand life and it’s meaning if one would deeply listen to the music. He uses well-known philosophers and their views on music to portray how music can have both a positive and negative effect. Afterward, he transitions to some of the current impacts of music on the young adults in the 21st century.

Over the the last century, Advertisement has had extremely quick advancements and a huge impact on our society. I will be discussing why brands and other companies advertise and what they are actually doing by producing adverts. Along with this i will be looking into the evolution of advertisements, The history behind them, changes of medium and how they have adapted to keep up with the demands of modern society.

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
In today’s world, we constantly come across different forms of advertisement through different platforms such as, Print, Internet, Radio, and TV. Depending on how advertisers choose to present their product may affect the consumer in a positive or negative way.

Music is another addition that can help increase the effectiveness of a global advertisement. A popular song in one region being played in the background of a commercial can add the local appeal that a product needs to help it sell. Music can also set the tone of a commercial and can help make the consumer feel the way that advertiser wants. An upbeat song can make the consumer feel that buying the product will also make them feel upbeat and happy.

It is no surprise that music has been used as a communication tool in advertising from as early as the radio jingles of the 1920’s. Kellaris, Cox, and Cox, 1993 perceived music to be the single most important creative ingredient in advertising. Music in advertising works alongside spoken word and often visuals to create the overall message of the advertisement. It has been discussed as to whether musical congruity enhances or devalues the desired brand message. Although a lot of studies have proven it difficult to get accurate responses in terms of musical congruity due to the subjectivity of the topic, it seems that many reports favour the use of congruent music to communicate a message in advertising. In this essay I will be discussing these views further in relation to both recent and well established theories.
According to CBS news, approximately, 600 to 625 advertisements are exposed to one person in a day and about 272 of those are coming from the television, the radio, magazines, and newspapers. Even if a person is exposed to so many advertisements each day, person may actually notice less than 80 of them. The goal of advertisement is to convince customers to buy their products. So if the customers do not remember the ad after viewing it, the company just wastes their time and money. In order to be effective, an advertisement has to be memorable for the customers. So there are many creative elements in advertisements and I want to analyze about those elements in this paper.
The influence that music has throughout the world is immeasurable. Music evokes many feelings, surfaces old memories, and creates new ones all while satisfying a sense of human emotion. With the ability to help identify a culture, as well as educate countries about other cultures, music also provides for a sense of knowledge. Music can be a tool for many things: relaxation, stimulation and communication. But at the same time it can also be a tool for resistance: against parents, against police against power. Within the reign of imported culture, cross cultivation and the creation of the so-called global village lies the need to expand horizons to engulf more than just what you see everyday. It is important to note that the role of music in today’s world is a key tool in the process of globalization. However, this does not necessarily provide us with any reasons that would make us believe that music has a homogenizing affect on the world.
The general character of a society forms and functions can be directly or indirectly reflected in a society’s music. However, not proven music is a potential basis for social structure and a reflection of a society’s values. According to Western societies, music is usually considered as either popular or classical. Popular music has been considered as low brow or vulgar in contrast to classical music which is exalted and considered as art music. In this regard, popular music is disregarded and considered inconsequential while the classical music is upheld above the realm of every day’s life activities. With this in mind, music begins to emerge as a potential foundation for social activity.
