Being inside the music: Plato the famous greek philosopher stated, “Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything.” Plato was a very smart man who made many amazing observations and statements in his life. This quote is no exception. I believe that music is a very important part of life, and everybody likes some kind of music. Most people even go as far as to have a favorite band. My favorite band is Twenty-One Pilots because they are creative, their music is amazing and they are just so darn cute. Seriously, how could two human beings be so perfect? Twenty-one pilots has been different since they started. They don’t sound just like every other band on the radio, which is rare these days. Twenty-One Pilots are unique; they have songs that sound very reggae, or have upbeat ukulele, or heavy beats, slow mellow songs, and …show more content…
Tyler and Josh Dun, the creators of the music and members of the band Twenty-One Pilots, capture the hearts of so many fans with their ever evolving music. What other group can captivate people who usually listen to Rap, Boy Bands, Techno, Rock, Pop, Alternative, or Indie lovers like me. Their sound pulls in these people, and many more. Not only does their sound control people 's mind and thoughts but their lyrics find a way of digging into you, in a good way. They sing about a lot of heavy subjects without it sounding heavy. A lot of people connect with their messages about anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, and anti-socialness. For people not struggling with those things it helps them better understand people who are. Tyler brings this up in his song Screen, “While you 're doing fine, there 's some people and I who have a really tough time getting through this life. So excuse us while we sing to the sky”. They have really good messages that just click with most
How Brooks and Dunn changed music history. “Woohoo,” the crowd falls in applause by yet another one of Brooks and Dunn’s fantastic concerts. They are one of the best country duos of all time. Brooks and Dunn are extremely special for country music history, and fans adore them. When Brooks and Dunn met at Arista Records, they were both planning to have solo careers, but little did they know, they would earn so many achievements throughout the 1990's and the 2000's together.
In Mark Edmundson’s Article “Can Music Save Your Life?” he discusses his theories on music. He goes through personal experience and later onto philosophical stances. Edmunds believes music, opens figurative doors, should inspire one to create, and above all preserves the listener. Edmundson says music should make the listener desire to create.
Country music has changed over the decades due to vast transformations within the music business. New artist come and go, but two artists in particular have left imprints on the hearts of country music fans forever. Talent Tim McGraw and the “King of Country,” George Strait, made their way to become the legends of country everyone knows and love today. The perseverance in enduring their dreams created a pathway to a road of achievements for the both of artists for numbers of year. Though the both of them are very well off in the country music career, Tim and George seem to be alike in their career, while being different than many people realize.
As the late Hunter S. Thompson said, “Music has always been a matter of Energy to me, a question of Fuel. Sentimental people call it Inspiration, but what they really mean is Fuel. I have always needed Fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.”
It wasn't thought of at the time they were the first to do this.by doing this they pulled in all different crowds of people who liked the different kinds of music. This is when they started to boom. They started a new form of cultivar and influenced a lot of people.
It’s fiercely unapologetic. It makes the listener want to relentlessly, fearlessly, and passionately survive. You don’t have to apologize for being okay. If singing to the sky is how you are able to thrive, then that is exactly what you’re going to do. These lyrics show an integral part of the “It’s okay” therapy process that I mentioned earlier.
Before they were big they they played at smaller places like clubs and bars and such. But when GNR’s album hit the top charts they started performing before big name like Aerosmith, Metallica, AC/DC and The Rolling Stones (The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). But when word got out on how good of a performance the band was they started getting their own concerts. People loved GNR’s concerts they showed music expression and excitement on the stage. Axl Rose would go up on stage and put on a show.
were an inspiration to the members of the band. In 1973 they released their first album called “Aerosmith”, 74 “Get Your Wings”, 75 “Toys In the Attic”. They made millions, tours began to be sold out, with platinum hits. I believe Aerosmith represented marijuana and alcohol to the society of the decade, more less of actual drugs. The crowd of young adults just wanted to drink some beer, smoke some weed and listen to Hard Rock.
Alphonse de Lamartine, French writer and politician, once said, “Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends” (“Quotes About Power Of Music”). What is one of your favorite songs? Does this song have any special meaning for you? Music can be motivational, relaxing, exciting, or even frightening. Sometimes choosing a specific song as your favorite can be challenging, but there is usually one that you really like because the lyrics are relatable to you, maybe it describes your mood, or it may just be really catchy.
Music can bring the brightest of joys that keeps us moving through our dull and boring lives. An example of this joy is Ishmael Beah’s life as a boy soldier in his book A Long Way Gone. As he tells you his story, he tells of his dance group with his friends, the times he heard music in the middle of war, and how music saved him from the madness that brewed within him. Music has the unique ability to create peace in a person’s life despite the difficulties surrounding them, and to bring a constant reminder of who they are as a person.
They were witty and clever on stage and the crowd couldn’t help but be engrossed by the them. Something about the Beatles was special and everyone knew it. One extraordinary thing about the beatles is that they were not just a hit in their home country, but they were of the few that made it in America. The Beatles were the first to play a concert in a stadium.
Music, for many, is a form of communication that cannot otherwise be expressed through a simple word or gesture. In “The Myth of Music” by Rachel M. Harper, the speaker conveys the closeness and authority she feels over music in her life, specifically in terms of the relationship she has with her family, by using (metaphorical) diction and shift in tone, effectively relaying the shield she has put up to protect personal experiences through musical memories. Harper conveys the fact that everyone has been intertwined with music throughout their entire life whether they realize it or not. From the moment someone is born into the world, they are introduced to music. Music is not classified as just instruments and vocals, but rather it’s all around
Aerosmith “Life is a journey, not a destination” said the band Aerosmith. Aerosmith had their share of ups and downs throughout their journey. From drug addiction to alcohol abuse to personal problems, they have been through it all. Aerosmith was a different type of rock and roll band because they brought blues music into rock, they won four Grammy Awards, and were inducted into the Boston Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, making them one of the best rock bands of their era. Aerosmith’s band members Brad Whitford, Joe Perry, and Steven Tyler became interested in music at a young age and had many influences.
Music carries each and every one of us to a new awareness. It can reach to the innermost part of an individual. Music can envelope our emotions from tears all the way to our joy. It captivates and motivates. As I attended a concert on Saturday, November 7, 2015, Lynyrd Skynyrd performed with power and feeling to their audience.
“Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything” (Plato). If my childhood was filled with anything: it was imagination. From my earliest memories of my cousin, and I putting on a sold out concert on my papaw’s front porch; to putting my baby dolls to sleep with lullabies. Music has always been a big part of my life: it was the one thing I could always count on, no matter where I went; and that still stands true today.
