The Elavator

The best and craziest music I encounter is the elevator. I love the classics that I hear when it’s me and random people in a tight space. I love the high pitch instruments and the fake optimistic tunes that the elevator belts out. I bet your wondering why I am saying this, but really I like the music. It helps break the ice. If there was no music in the elevators then the ride would have so much tension you could cut it with a chainsaw. Elevator music brings people together, it allows them to talk about the horribleness of the music, and why it’s played. The music though is the uniting force, whether you like it or not. Imagine for a minute if there were no music in the elevator, that would easily be the most awkward place a small to medium amount of people could be in. There would be unrelentless staring and judging about who is wearing what and nothing would ever happen. With music it occupies the people, allows people to talk to one another, its the hand that allows the conversation to flow. The next time you are in an elevator hopefully you will think of this blog. I am hoping this blog makes that experience much better. I am sticking up for the elevator music because someone has too. I am glad its there because it makes a lot of people happy....and sad (not excited). Why is elevator music there...simply to help the monotonous fifteen to forty five second ride with complete strangers. Thanks.
