Music: A Way of Expression

To many people, music expresses who they are in a way they simply cannot do simply through words. For the many music listeners out there, the music conveys what they are unable to say themselves. The type of music I listen to ranges from country to rock to rap, depending on my mood and the message sent out from the musicians. This music is the way for me to express my exact mood, be it happy, sad, or angry, without having to say a single word. Only the upbeat songs will played on my iPod when I’m in the best of moods and I’ll sing and dance along to it. When a bad mood comes along, I will only play the slow, sad songs that will do nothing but keep me in that mood. Of all of these things, a person must remember that not only the lyrics, but also the actual music that is the largest part is what can put a person into the best or worst of moods. That is what sets the scene for the lyrics; if the music is slow, the lyrics will also be slow and, most likely, sad. The upbeat tempos make way for faster lyrics and any one of a variety of moods.
