Music: The Universal Language

I commemorate the defining moments of my life through music. Any time I hear a familiar song I go back to the moment when it meant most to me. I feel exactly how I felt and remember exactly what happened. That is the power of music.

For any emotion you could imagine, a song can compliment it entirely. I have a playlist for every mood or activity. I dream to mellow acoustic songs and exercise to upbeat pop anthems. The music’s mood affects mine.

Music influences basically everything I do and most emotions I convey. My favorite songs comfort me and old pop hits make me nostalgic. All Time Low and S Club 7 put me on cloud nine. It amazes me how music can help you relive your favorite memories.

When I hear Alexisonfire it brings me back to my first show in eighth grade, while Paramore reminds me of freshman year.

But for me, the best music strikes a nerve, saying exactly how you feel and helping you feel different. Sometimes lyricists can express your thoughts better than you. When you feel it to the core, music transforms you. It truly is a universal language.
