Passion For Music

Music is my passion it inspires me. I don't just listen to it, I feel it as well. I love all kinds of music, except dangdut and metal songs. Because when I listening to the music I actually listen to the lyrics pay close to it, the content of the songs, and what actually the writer or the composer of the songs want to tell. Mostly older rock, hill country blues and jazz. I not only enjoy listening to it, but I love to playing it too. I can almost relate to some of the music I listen to. When I’m alone, I like to turn up the music loud, the beats and rhythms give me energy and motivate me.

It also give me the comfortable feeling that I’m not alone. I love how the beats of the music, the flows smoothly with the voice. Most of the song is like they express their lives and the struggles that they have had dealt with. They also sing about their memories of a loved one. Music also brings love to people.  For me without music life would be a dull and empty feeling in the world. When I feel disappointed or stressed out I like to listen to music to calm myself down.

I'm very picky at choosing what style of music I can enjoy. If it sounds tacky or I can't relate to, then I don't care to listen to it. If the music is moving and it to my type of taste, I can really enjoying listening to it over and over again. Some of the music I love relates to my feelings as well as bringing back loving memories. It also makes me think of how it explains the decade it came out in. Everyone has their own stories to tell. I think singers have a really talented gifts, they are blessed with how beautiful their voices sound. They also have a unique style and talents on how they perform in front of millions of people in different environment.

Blues

Blues is about tradition and personal expression. At its core, the blues has remained the same since its inception. Most blues feature simple, usually three-chord, progressions and have simple structures that are open to endless improvisations, both lyrical and musical. The blues grew out of African spirituals and works songs. In the late 1800s, southern African-Americans passed the songs down orally, and they collided with American folk and country from the Appalachians.

New hybrids appeared by each region, but all of the recorded blues from the early 1900s are distinguished by simple, rural acoustic guitars and pianos. After World War II, the blues began to fragment, with some musicians holding on to acoustic traditions and others taking it to jazzier territory. However, most bluesmen followed Muddy Waters' lead and played the blues on electric instruments. From that point, the blues continued to develop in new directions and it has been preserved as an acoustic tradition.

 Jazz

Jazz has been called America's classical music, and for good reason. Along with the blues, its forefather is one of the first truly indigenous music to develop in America, yet its unpredictable, risky ventures into improvisation gave it critical cache with scholars that the blues lacked. At the outset, jazz was dance music and performed by swinging big bands. Soon, the dance elements faded into the background and improvisation became the key element of the music.

As the genre evolved, the music split into a number of different styles  from the speedy rhythms mellow harmonies of cool jazz to the jittery, atonal forays of free jazz and the earthy grooves of soul jazz. What tied it all together was a foundation in the blues, a reliance on group interplay and unpredictable improvisation. Throughout the years, and in all the different styles, those are the qualities that defined jazz.

Pop Rock

Rock & Roll is often used as a generic term, but its sound is rarely predictable. From the outset, when the early rockers merged country and blues, rock has been defined by its energy, rebellion and catchy hooks, but as the genre aged, it began to shed those very characteristics, placing equal emphasis on craftsmanship and pushing the boundaries of the music.

 As a result, everything from Chuck Berry's pounding, three chord rockers and the sweet harmonies of the Beatles to the jarring atonal white noise of Sonic Youth has been categorized as "rock." That's accurate rock & roll had a specific sound and image for only a handful of years. For most of its life, rock has been fragmented, spinning off new styles and variations every few years from Brill Building Pop and to dance pop. And that's only natural for a genre that began its life as a fusion of styles.
