The Power of Music

The power of music. It is wonderful what it can do to human beings. It can make us feel a lot of different feelings. For instance love, vulnerability, sadness, freedom, anger, and so on. I really can’t imagine a world without music. There is music in everything. The traffic jam, old pots and pans, and the ring from a bell. Different tones placed in the right order makes music.

The music affects us from cradle to grave and it can do more than just entertain us.

Personally I have a very wide music taste. I almost like every kind of music, except for opera and heavy metal. Music can be used in many different situations, for example when you are together with your boyfriend, it’s nice to listen to a silent love song, but when you are at a party you rather want to listen to something that sets you in the right mood. Something with rhythm that makes you want to dance.

I have several memories connected to different songs, and every time I hear one of these songs, I remember the situation like it was yesterday. All the feelings I had appears again. To give an example, I experienced this a few months ago, when I argued with one of my good friends. In the background I heard a song called “Don’t wanna loose you now”, and every time I hear that, I get sad and remember how much she means to me. However, even though this exampled gave a negative impression of music, it can make positive feelings appear as well, and in many stores they use background music to calm costumers and even influence them to buy their products.
