Music is my life and I love it so much. Well to be exact, music defines me and i listen to all types of music or all genres. Music is like a necessity in life and everyone enjoys listening to it. From rock to hip - hop to other international music. This is a hobby and a passion that we as humans decide to accept.

Music is a masterpiece in life without it, we are nothing. Everyone in the world contributes to this masterpiece. When a new artist creates music he or she is adding to this eternal piece of art that will never expire. Music is such a universal aspect in life where people can express their feelings towards something or just express themselves in such a way, where we can see what the real message is. Because of music it has been possible for us to enjoy, not only that but also see everyday events, objects and places in a different perspective.

I am really big when it comes to music and I love listening to it. Music is another world that when you step into it, you can never get out. I always listen to music for just about every occasion. I listen to all music or at least try it once ever. No matter what, music will always remain the same to me. So then I began to get into music i never heard before, something new and awesome, something that I did not thought ever existed..

I remember when I got into Screamo during August, this summer. I was searching in youtube for new bands that I would put in my mp3. Then I remembered about a band that I used to like a lot. The band that I was searching for was HawthorneHeights, so I looked at the search results and I found one of my favorite songs by them called "Ohio is for Lovers." After i clicked on the video and watched it, of course I loved it so much. I was browsing at the Related Searches tab and then found someone who had posted My Top 5 Emo/Screamo Bands. The video started playing and I got kind of excited to watch it, by the end of the video, I found new bands that I really liked. So then I went straight to downloading them right away and put so many Screamo bands and then songs that I liked and even other songs that they made. Now I love Screamo and I am so into that type of music and I like listening to it all the time. I listen to Screamo while I am on the bus, and even when I do my homework. People usually say that Screamo is noisy and very annoying, but I oppose because it may sound crazy, but the lyrics make sense to me and I like the composing of the music. Personally, i listen to all types of music, from Hip-hop to even Metal, etc. Screamo is so unique and maybe that can be another reason why I really like it.

Screamo rocks "hard", when I listen to it I can feel anger, pain and sorrow being released from my system. Well there once was a time where I thought music was not that important and maybe just listened to it, just for the heck of it. But my perspective and my way of thinking changed when...

Well, as you can see music is not really blasting in my headphones, is more like at a moderate volume. What I mean when I say music blasting in my headphones, would mean that the music that I am playing has such a powerful meaning that it seems as though it could be even heard throughout the whole world. Music is always "blasting in my headphones", the music that I listen to, usually has very meaningful lyrics. Sometimes I can even relate to the song's lyrics and some songs make so much sense to me no matter how weird the lyrics are. I will never forget the day when I really got close to music by the lyrics of a song. I was on the bus listening to a song which I can't remember, but then that song finished. I was browsing at the list of songs and see what I even have it on my mp3 player. I was listening carefully to the lyrics of the song and I realized that they were very true about life (if you looked at it in the lead-singer's perspective.) The song's name is Misery Love Its Company by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, so I wondered how they really came up with this song. To me it really doesn't matter how bands really come up with songs, and even if I never find out why do they even make the song up I really appreciate it that they even go through the trouble of even making their songs so meaningful. Misery Loves Its Company really talks about life itself and how people really are in real life and how it really is, also it says what people really need to do to take all this hate out of our bodies'. This song makes so much song even though the lyrics vaguely explain what's going on, but if you think outside the box you might realize that it's true what his song is "speaking" to us. From that day I realized that lyrics can be powerful from a song that doesn't even make the slightest of sense that's why today I not only chose songs by their sound, but by their true meaning this is the reason why music is always "blasting in my headphones". 

Music is really a beautiful creation of art that I wouldn't exchange for the world. So many up-coming artists these days that understand people and the way they feel, usually making a song for a different occasion. I really got in to a band that I will never stop listening to at all. I always wished of writing a short biography about them and finally i can, see what they are made of... 

P.S: If you want to listen to the song just go to www. Youtube .com , if you want to see the lyrics you can just type the song's name in www.google.com  with the word lyrics at the end, also the song is really a Screamo song so if you are uncomfortable listening to it you can just view the lyrics.

Paramore is like my favorite Rock band ever. Paramore plays pop-funk, powerpop, Emo and Alternative Rock, which is good because I like bands that play diverse music and not just one genre (all though it may seem like they do, they really don't if you know your genres.) Paramore originally formed in 2004 by lead guitarist Josh Farro, drummer Zac Farro, bassist Jeremy Davis and vocalist Hayley Williams. Paramore got their name due to one of the bassist's maiden name and when they learned what the word paramour really meant, they decided to leave the name with the Paramore spelling. Paramore's debut album was All We Know Is Falling which was released on July 25, 2005 with the single Pressure. The other two songs that were released were Emergency and All We Know.  On June 12, 2007, Paramore released their album Riot! , which sold around 44,000 copies in the first week. The first single for Riot! , was Misery Business which was release in June 21, 2007. Hallelujah, another single was released on July 30, 2007, Crushcrushcrush was released on October 11, 2007 and that's what you Get was released on March 24, 2007 (all of them are good songs, too.) Well, that's just a brief history of their albums and songs that debuted. Paramore just makes songs that have meaningful "attitude", and they rock out all the time, they never stop impressing me with their awesome songs.

What can i say about Paramore? Well, that's a good question and I really don't know how I can answer this one at all. Music is everything in this world combined in to different genres and of course lyrics. Sometimes we go through tough times and we can stand the pressure, pain, etc, and maybe there are different ways to release it or calm down, such as music. The time i got in to Screamo is something I will never forget because you might just find some kind of music that you never expected to listen to and maybe it might understand you better than what you think. Also, the time when i figured out that music really has deeper meaning to it than you think (maybe you should try listening closely to the lyrics or maybe just even look them up.) Paramore is awesome, a band that expresses just what they feel and make a song out of it that people can relate to. Music is something that will keep going on for as long as the world lives. One day you can try not to be yourself and listen to music you never heard because maybe then you can find something new.

 Dear  C Flores :

I completely agree with your post, "Are You Sure This Is Music?" because it is accurate and expressive.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "Music is my life and I love it so much." This is definetely true because music calms you, makes you excited and provokes many other emotions. Nobody can ever get bored listening to music.

Another sentence that I loved was: "From rock to hip - hop to other international music. ." This stood out for me because music is diverse, and that is another point about why people never get sick of listening to it.

 

Your post reminds me of myself. I play classical and jazz piano, and also listen to hip-hop and broadway musical songs. There is so much music in my life, and that what keeps me happy and energetic. Without music, I would feel unhappy and stressed, every minute of my life.

 

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because your ideas are similar to mine. It makes me feel good that someone has a deep passion in music like I do.

 

Regards,

Ariele

   I loved your message, "Are You Sure This Is Music?" because to me music is my whole life. I can not live without music. How can anyone live without music? If you can then you must not be a human being!! Everyone has to love music because without music their would be nothing to entertain you and this whole world would be so boring. To me without music I wouldn't be able to live at all, I wouldn't even be here right now. If i didn't have music I would just kill myself people. Do you not understand how music is really important to me!! If someone takes away my music or anything or steal my favorite songs I would flip out.

   One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is:"Music is another world that when you step into it, you can never get out. I always listen to music for just about every occasion." MUSIC IS MUSIC!! No one can come between music. When I step into music I can never get out of it. Music describes my passion and who I am. Everytime I listen to music I am in my whole world and it reminds me of my memories and everything I do. Whenever I listen to music I always sing to it and I DONT CARE what other people think of me. They can think im stupid or some retarded person, I dont really care what you think of me cause music is my everything. It let my tears out and everything. I always listen to music everywhere even in school. Just have to be careful. You can call me a music freak all you want because I know I AM ONE!!

   Another sentence that I liked was:"Screamo rocks "hard", when I listen to it I can feel anger, pain and sorrow being released from my system." This stood out for me because whenever I listen to music I let my feelings show. When I am angry and stuff I listen to hard rock music or sad songs that releases my anger and makes me want to cry. Music helps make me feel all better because the lyrics and everything are just so powerful. When I feel pain and sorrow I listen to the sadest songs and everything and like breakup songs and I start crying. You can call me a baby all you want because to tell you the truth I am a really emotional person, so I cry easily. I love to express my emotions and feelings to people because I want them to know who I really am inside. Music describes my personality and MUSIC IS THE CREATION OF LIFE!!

   Your story reminds me of something that happened to me. One time I was really upset and not really in the mood and I didn't really know what to do. I just wanted to kill myself and everything and hoping I would die right now and not live anymore. I thought to myself what is the point of me living? Do I deserve to be here and everything? I thought about all the negative things you can think of. Then I realized that I needed music. Music was the key to take my pain and sorrow all away, so I started listening to music and when I listen to music people, just to tell you I blast my music, and I think each and everyone of you blast your music too. Who wouldnt? When I started listening to the music I felt much better and I didn't think of the negative things anymore. I felt like living again and I realized live for the things you really love and live for one reason only and that one reason is live for the one you truly love in your heart. After I realized that I never thought about any more negative things in my life. I FELT LIKE LIVING AGAIN!!

   Thanks for writing. I look foward to seeing what you write next, because I really enjoyed what you wrote especially about music. Music is the key to everyone's life. Without music no one would be here probably. I want to see what else you want to write about because I saw in your message, was really passionate and emotional about the music and everything. Music is everything and is the creation of life and love. Music gets rid of all your sorrows and pain. MUSIC IS THE BEST!!

Yup i truly know that music is a not just a hobby, but it's a passion to everyone. What really surprised me was that you actually explained that you were an emotional person. I can relate to you because sometimes i feel like crying, when i listen to a song and maybe sometimes i even cry to it. I think that we have this emotional thing in common, which brings us closer as friends. I loved when you explained your story about music and how you were sad and wanted to die, i feel the same way sometimes when bad things really do happen. I think i deal with it a little different, when i'm sad i listen sad music that connects to what i'm sad about, after getting sadder than what i already was i feel better after a while. People say that tears are healing, and it is true?!?! When you shed tears, you release the emotion that you have inside and then after a while you feel much better. Music truly is important in this world, and without it we woould be nothing.

 I like toy essay The Screamo\Emo Group because it is about music and i love music. I listen to anything that is good doesn't matter what ganra it is from. I think songs say a lot and some songs are really meaningful and some are just bad.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is "  Music is another world that when you step into it, you can never get out." I think this is true because when I am listining to music i have no idea what is going on around me. Music helps me concentrate on my work. I listen to paramore also. And i love their song CrushCrushCrush is an awesome song. 

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you wrote next besause I like your this essay its really detailed and informative.

Chris,I really like how you listen to all kinds of music! I think when a person listens to music,it gives them a wide variety of choices that that can apply to anything they feel. I know when you listen to paramore,you feel emo (you thought I didn't about you),but on the other hand,when you listen to Artists such as Prima J or Coldplay,your in a chipper mood.I find that music for you,and for everyone,is a form of expression,so keep on with the screamo my friend.
