For me, music is a part of my every day life. I can't go 1 second without thinking of a song, sample, snippet of a classic song or new song. It shapes our lives, gives us memories, sets us on life's paths. Without music, this planet would be pretty boring.
It's a hard subject to narrow down to a specific or particular point as the music library in this tiny yet expansive planet is, well say the least massive. But one thing if for certain that everyone of us human beings has a favourite song. And what does that tell you about music? I feel without music, life itself could be completely different. In a way that you or I couldn't express ourselves in the way we would want to. I mean who can't remember what song was playing the moment they met their loved ones? The moment their first child was born? The first night out? There are so many moments in life that we all remember with the little help from music.
It's not memories that are triggered from music, we are also able to conjure up future thoughts and wishes through different musical genres. Throughout the time I've listened to music while relaxing before going to sleep I've often thought of what video would be created with a particular song, or what would be in the background when I've started a family. Again, all of this couldn't be possible without music.
All I cam say is that I'm grateful enough to be in an age that has seen many great bands and artist grace this wonderful planet, but I'm am also confident that there will be many many more to come. And now with the ever growing digital age in music exposure, it gives us more opportunity to live life to many different soundtracks.
