Music

Music is so complex! It has no many scientific and mathematical aspects to it they I didn't know about. For example I was fascinated by the fact that sound is only really what our body creates. In class people were explaining that if a tree falls in the forest has no sound because no one is there to "hear" it. This is so hard for me to comprehend. I did not know that we as humans play such a huge role in sound and thus in music. I did however know that music has a huge affect on us. Music can completely change my mood! If I want to be motivated I play certain songs, if I want to cheer myself up I play certain songs, and if Im sad and want to stay sad there are songs for that too. But in all seriousness music really does affect me. If I hear something that, to me seems sad, I get this horrible homesick feeling and my mood completely changes. I'm glad we learned a little bit about why music can be so influencing. The tones provoke different emotions, like defeat and triumph. i think it also has something to do with association. Some sounds or songs force me to remember or think of a sad or happy time and then I form my opinion about the song. It really is so interesting, this is something that I would love to learn more about. I just have to add that I love the "virtuoso" and the fact that they are referred to as the first rock stars. I wish I could see them perform then, the music is so beautiful and they were so talented.
