Music.
It's everywhere around you. In your car,bus,taxi,plane,ship or whatever.
But what is music? Music is what you make out of it.
For some it's just something you hear. Only a rhythm.
But not for me.
Music is something you feel, something which expresses feelings and tells stories, but isn't it actually the actual sense of music?
Years ago music wasn't important for me it was just something which was around (well I used to hear techno and such stuff. I hate this now. :D ). Well that was the time when I was in this macho-gangster-clique where this was meant to be cool.
Times have changed and pain has come and so also my opinion of music changed. I discoverd more depper songs because they have fit more to my feelings.
Since then so since 3 years I only hear such music because music is my way to get through hard times and to express my feelings.
Music is now everything to me. I can't imagine to live without it.
And to be honest: I hate the modern music.
Pop, hip-hop, techno, electro, whatever.
I don't want to hear it because it doesn't mean anything to me.
And for me it's the most important about music is that I can relate myself to what I hear. Sounds strange I know.
I love good lyrics and I actually wrote some by myself when I'm bored.
And seriously: The lyrics of pop songs are just...well you know...not that touching.
Because somehow 98% of the songs in the charts are about dancing, some hot girl you met at the club or wherever or some wannabe-depression.
Some think that's good, I don't. It's just not enough for me.
For dancing it's enough but dancing is not my thing because I just suck at dancing :D
If you asked yourself now to what music I listen if I don't listen to 'mainstream'-music, I hear alternative.
And for me it's the best thing I've ever heard.
Bands like Foo Fighters, My Chemical Romance, 30 Seconds to Mars, Red Hot Chili Peppers or Linkin Park are my favourites (like someone noticed from the picture above...)
None would believe me if I say that this music saved my life (especially MCR) but somehow that's just how it is.
Seems unreal doensn't it?
But I don't know. This music gaves me the feeling that I'm not alone with my problems.
And to prove this: The first sentence in the first song of the first album from My Chemical Romance:
You're not in this alone.
Proved.
Most of the people have no idea what the lyrics of alternative music actually means and may thin it's emo or something. Well...get your heart broken, get an outsider and then listen to it again. You will understand.
And If you don't then it's just not your music genre.
I don't want to say that everything else is bad or something it's just not my thing.
Music is more than dancing and rhythm and such stuff to me.
Music is one of the important things in my life and will always be.
You only hear the music when your heart begins to break.

feel the same way:)you have amazing taste in bands they have some of the best songs ever :D x
well said :)
thats EXACTLY how i feel about music. i hate how people like lil wayne are famous cause what they sing about is so damn shallow. music today is encouraging drinking, partying, being rebellious (rebellious as in doing drugs and other things your parents don't encourage). how ever, there are some amazing artists out there who actually do make MUSIC. one of my faveourites being Bon Iver.

I listen to all of those bands!
We have similar taste in music.
MCR actually started to save lives. For suicidal teens. They are amazing and they literally have saved lives and still do.
The mainstream music nowadays is exactly how you put it.
Most of it has to be bleeped out either way or they all talk about some random chick from the club.
But I do like electro music too!
Another great post and I like the picture!
