ALL of you have experienced the feelings of being angry, pissed off, sad, upset, frustrated, pumped up, ridiculously happy. Remember that time that you broke up with your boyfriend or girlfriend, and didn’t wanna talk to anyone about it? Or when your parents pissed you off and you locked yourself in the room? Or what about that three mile run, when you needed some motivation to bang out that last mile? Or the locker room, suiting up for the football game under Friday night lights? Or before a fight, and you needed to get into beast mode, ready to kill the kid that disrespected or threatened your friends and family. I remember each of these moments, and the only thing that was there to comfort me, the only thing that will always be able to alter my mood on command, is the power of music.
You ALL know how it feels hearing a certain song and entering your own world, where the sounds of music take control of your mind, change your thoughts, and force your body to move to the rhythm. The vocals that start the song off go along so perfectly with the intro beat it sends chills down your spine, your hair stands on end, and all you can think about is how amazing everything sounds all together. The beat picks up, and you start tapping your right foot a little, maybe nodding your head a little. SHIT the beat is building up; you think to yourself…you know what’s coming in the next 20 seconds. The beat is speeding up, the vocals are getting louder, and your heart starts racing faster, now your hands start moving a little, maybe just side to side in front of you a little. Your shoulders start to sway, hips start moving a little. Ten seconds pass by, and every limb of your body starts to move, more and more, as the beat builds. Everyone around you is moving in the same way, the room is dark but you can feel the energy. Standing right next to the giant speakers, the bass merges with your heartbeat, and you think of nothing other than what is going in and out of your ears. You close your eyes as the beat is about to drop, body completely in sync with the backbeat as the vocals fade a little, the main beat pauses for a split second…your body stops moving along with everyone elses, every pair of hands suspended above their heads for that short second…the crowd is quiet and still. Then the beat drops, every body around you is jumping, hands in the air, screaming at the top of their lungs. All you can focus on is the beat, you have no idea how your body is moving to it but all you know is that it sounds amazing, and you don’t want it to end. The music has complete control over you by now, completely control of your thoughts. That bad test grade you got? Forgotten. The dumb bitch that spilled your coffee? Forgiven. NOTHING can bring down your mood, the music is uplifting, empowering, boosting your confidence and making you one hundred percent happy. When you have no where else to turn to, look to music, it will never disappoint you.
I definitely can relate to this. Music is sometimes the only thing that comfort me, or put me in the right mood. But I think your obsession for music is much more deeper than mine haha but I respect that.
