Music

What is music to you?

Notes?

Lyrics?

Rhythm?

Beat?

All of the Above?

      To me, music has always been so much more then scribbles and symbols written on a piece of paper. Music is actually very different then poems; I like to think that the reason some poems are made into song lyrics is because they were never meant for paper. Like the paper physically couldn't handle the words written down so they were made into something more. Something the whole world gets to share, gets to relate too. 

       It's funny how something you can't touch, can touch you in so many ways. Something you can't see can send you visions. And isn't it odd how a three minute song can make us think for hours, sometimes even days at a time. 

      Music is the trunk of an ongoing tree. A tree with large limbs that  lead to tons of different variations, the "branches" of that style. With the main limb of Pop music comes the branches of Adult Contemporary, Brit-pop, Bubblegum Pop, Chamber, Pop Dance Pop, Dream Pop, Electro Pop, Orchestral Pop, Pop/Rock, Power Pop, Soft Rock, Synthpop,  and Teen Pop. With the limb of rock comes, Acid Rock, Adult-Oriented Rock, Afro Punk, Adult Alternative, Alternative Rock , American Trad Rock, Anatolian Rock, Arena Rock, Art Rock, Blues-Rock, British Invasion, Death Metal / Black Metal, Glam Rock, Gothic Metal, Hair Meta, Hard Rock, Metal, Noise Rock, Jam Bands, Post, Punk, Prog-Rock/Art Rock, Psychedelic, Rock & Roll, Rockabilly, Roots Rock, Singer/Songwriter, Southern Rock, Surf, Tex-Mex and Time Lord Rock. And the limbs along with their branches continue into the infinite music tree.
        Music has the power to make someone cry, smile, laugh, feel better and dance. People use music to heal, to advertise, to bring people together, and to express. Music is magic. The artist's are the magicians.
        It doesn't matter if you look at music like the impossible poems, or the touching untouchable, the ongoing tree, or magic; Music will forever be a part of everyone's soul. Will always be a part of everyone; whether it's their thumb or their backbone it's the one thing we have in common. The one thing that keeps our separate worlds close to our one big one. Music.

One Direction Concert

Since the day they started in 2010 I have been a fan of One Direction. To most One Direction is a cliché boy band from The UK; but to me they're so much more. They're my idols and in a weird way they're my friends. Friends because there music touches me and idols because they went for their dreams, even if it meant singing with 4 strangers to get there. Friends because they were there for me while others dropped out, and idols because they didn't let The fame and fortune get to their heads. Their music in itself is like a friend to me because it speaks to, and in an odd way the music understands. 

Say what ever you want but I'm not the only one who's been helped by their music...

Again judge me all you want but I truly believe music can heal people, that it goes strait from your ears to the soul; which is why when I heard I was going to a One Direction concert I flipped out! I screamed cried the whole nine yards (my mature, cool, and collected side disappeared momentarily). I have been waiting 5 years to see them so this concert means that much more to me as you can imagine. 

Despite my desire to meet them being beyond any scale the likeliness of me meeting them is slim; so I'm going to wrap up this post by writing what I would say to them

"Thank you for all the laughs, and your incredible music and everything in-between, I love you guys."
