It’s all around us, it connects us, it supports us. Music is a major part of many people's lives. It has connected millions of people worldwide and, over time, has been a cultural superpower, bringing people together regardless of their backgrounds, beliefs, or ethnicities. Music truly is for all, and I feel as if that’s definitely one of the many reasons why I fell in love with music.
Especially in times like today, connectedness is so important. Music gives people the chance to come together, feel included, and, overall, promote greater social closeness. There are studies suggesting that playing music or singing together may be a key component in fostering social connectedness, and I agree. When you go to concerts, there are always people singing, laughing, dancing, just being together.
Music is also just such an important outlet in general. It gives people the chance to express themselves and potentially deepen their understanding of themselves. Everyone loves music for their own reasons, and that is another beautiful aspect of it. Music enters people's lives in many ways and at different times in their lives. I know for me personall,y music has been there for me in times where I’ve needed it most. There’s so much music that I listen to, but I appreciate every song for how it resonated with me in those moments of my life. I listen to music every day and love writing and making my own music. It’s such an amazing opportunity music gives to people, the freedom to be oneself and express yourself. There are no rules with music, and that is another reason why music is for everyone. I don't know if the world would be as amazing a place without music. Thankfully, there's such a variety of genres and music styles to choose from that a person is bound to find something they’ll enjoy. There truly is a little bit for everyone; music doesn’t discriminate or hate, it’s just here for everyone at any time.
Music overall is just such an amazing outlet that can promote togetherness regardless of a person's background. It can help people get through everyday life and, in general, just hard times, significantly boosting mental health. Overall, it has multiple benefits. Music is such a powerful thing and I wouldn’t want to live in a world without it, and I’m sure many agree. In today's day and age, connectedness is so important. Music is another big step in the right direction to a world where everyone everywhere accepts one another and supports one another regardless of their backgrounds, and isn’t judged by the color of their skin, but by their character. Without music, the world would be such a bleak, boring place, so maybe this weekend take some time, listen to that album, learn that song, spend time with friends, and listen to your favorite songs because a world without music is a world without togetherness.
