Music: An escape from reality

People in all ages listen to music every day. It becomes a part of their life. I think one of the reasons why music is so important to many people, is because it is their ‘escape from reality’. It helps them when they are sad or depressed, it makes them want to dance with friends, it can be relaxing when they are stressed out and it can also inspire them. Sometimes music can create a whole new world for you. Not just change how you feel, but it can also make you connect with other people with similar taste in music. You can almost say it gives you ‘another family’. For example if you have an idol who is a singer, you would automatically be a part of that person or band’s fan base. If you like Justin Bieber, you will become a Belieber, and if you like One Direction, you will be considered a Directioner and so on. That fan base will be a part of your life. It becomes your ‘second family’. When you feel alone or if you don’t have any friends at school, you can talk to them via the internet and social media, or meet up with them. You get to meet and talk to new people, and you would not feel so lonely anymore.
