A world without music, can you imagine such? For me, I feel it's going to be a perfect description of boring. Music is life and adds spice to anywhere it comes in. A world with music is far off better than one without it. Many tribes, races and cultures appreciate music and everything it has to impact on them. Here are certain benefits of music to humanity and reasons why a world with music is better:
° Music is language: Every music has a way of conveying a message to those who listen to it. The kind of music one listens to at a particular moment can tell a stranger his mood at that moment.
° Music brings Unity: This is one special tool of music, the ability to create a unifying atmosphere between people of different cultures and backgrounds. Many people listen to songs they don't even know the lyrics but due to their love for the song or its tune, they join to appreciate the music.
°Music is De-stressor: There are certain stages of life that one can experience depression, anxiety, stress or worry and by just playing one's favorite song, then comes this feeling of relief from nowhere. Just like I detailed in my last entry for this initiative, I most times listen to songs when I have lost something of value to me and depression wants to set in.
Whenever I want to study hand I get on my three-hour reading plan, most times I feel bored and guess what I do? Play some music and believe me, I always feel better.
According to some scientific explanations, when we listen to music, the body is moved to secrete certain hormones known as pleasure hormones which make one feel good.
°Music Makes a Lively Environment: I have never visited a birthday party, a wedding, a send-off party or even a burial and music is not played at some point. A gathering without music makes the scene look like that of an accident, lol. Music creates this atmosphere of joy among people.
°Music made many Employed: One of the greatest problems any country/government can experience is lack of employment. But do you know that the government sometimes can't reach out to every single citizen when it comes to job distribution and giving out employment opportunities? But with music, a talented musician can get into the music industry and succeed. Such an individual doesn't need to bother about the government or serving a boss at the workplace.
Some of the richest people in the world are musicians and that wouldn't have been possible if this world never accepted or knew music.
°Music boosts Creativity: I remember what my Mom often tells me, “This brain is not in the skull for fancy, it's for thinking and being creative to show the world what you've got”. Songwriters, composers and musicians are creative people.
One day I tried writing a song that fits one of the beats I found online, I found out that it wasn't easy at all to form meaningful lines of a song. To pen down song lyrics isn't easy.
Music has made creativity criteria for one to be called a musician and has led many to the path of critical thinking and purposefully utilizing their intellects.
Just considering everything I've said, what do you think a world without music would look like? Would you like to be in such a world? If yes, then good luck, lol.
