God is not a being but music itself


As time goes by and our days on this planet seem to dwindle down, there is one aspect of our daily life that we cannot live without and this is MUSIC. Music has been a constant stable in people’s lives since the beginning of time, almost to the point that one can say that we were put on this planet just to create something so beautiful that society as a whole can both relate to and enjoy. I remember growing up listening to the music of the 1960s even though I was not born in that decade. My father was the first one to introduce me to music and this was the music that he grew up listening to, so it only makes sense that this was the first music to invade my eardrums and stimulate feelings that I had never felt before.
Today, those same feelings exist but the music that stimulates these feelings is a drastic change from that what my father listened to. Electro/dance music is something that I do not believe I can live without, for without it my life would be less meaningful. Like the music of the 1960s, electro has shaped the way I live my life today. It is ironic for me to think that there are people out there that do not understand the music that I listen to because I believe it is self explanatory. Something that sounds so beautiful to my ears, sounds just like loud noises and random sounds to those that around me. However, you take the same people that don’t understand the music and combine that music with the necessary visual effects and they began to understand. This is true beauty and the true meaning of life.
