MUSIC AND ME

To me, music is not just a mixture of various sounds that actually end up sounding good. Music is much more. I read a piece of music like you or anyother person would read a newspaper article or a book. The way a person sings to himself/herself when alone or when in deep thought distinctly reflects the type of person he/she is. Music is a glimpse into the person's soul into the emotions that he/she is experiencing. Music can comunicate more than words since you don't listen in a cursory manner but you listen to a piece of music with your heart. It has been scientifically proven that the same region of the brain that is responsible for you appreciation of music is responsible for your ability to think logically. And i found out that this is true since I can concentrate better when i am listening to music at a low volume.

Music is a way of communicating without letting language impede the flow of your emotions. Plain music is much more transmissive than music with words.

Yes I do listen to metal as in metallica and death metal as in sepultura. But there is one factor which allows me to listen to only these bands. These bands have the most balanced songs in the industry.By balance I mean that all the negativity they propagate through those songs, they have a sense of hope in either the words or the tune to balance it. Emotional balance is what is needed in this world of heightening tensions. That is propagated by these bands even though they are said to create 'negative' music.
