Musik- What does it Mean to You?

The variety of genres of music suits each individual's personality, but what does it mean to you?  How does it make you feel? Can music influence the way your everyday life goes?

Explain.

I choose my music by my moods, like some. If I'm moody, I'll go for older R&B and if I'm in my party mode, I'll choose upbeat pop, country and some rap. Then there are moments when I feel very stressed and I need to out on my favorite music, 1930/40s Jazz. Jazz music gives insight to my life. I hear the music and I am calm, serene and ready to write my life away. I will go on and on with my poetry.  My fingertips tingle and my mind is racing. Hours will pass by while Pandora remains on my favorite station, Billie Holiday. Billie speaks through my soul in inexplicable ways. She teaches me me to write whatever is in my soul. There is NO need to worry about the next person or writer, simply be you and that is the most beautiful advice I was ever given. There is always so much more to learn.

Billie sang her heart out in the short time she was on this earth. She showed the world to sing what was in your soul. Repeatedly, she poured her soul into the hearts of us listeners and inspired us. Whether the problem was life, stress, money, love, the sound of Jazz will immediately capture a listener ear drums. In my opinion, some of the best voices were those of the early Jazz generation.The unique sound is not heard as much if at all in present day.

I feel as though Billie speak to me personally. We do share the same Zodiac Sign (Aries) which excited me. Holiday's soul is still present and is capturing my heart and others  influencing them for a lifetime. To me, music means inspiration. Music inspires the soul and overall mood. Music is very powerful, so let your ears guide you carefully..
