Music Every Day Man!
How do you experience music in your daily life? This is a fundamental element that gets me through my day, music is food and health. That might sound crazy but when i run everyday music is what gets me through. Music turns the boring, mind stalling activity, into an enjoyable experience that allows you push through and make huge gains. I am a type one diabetic and exercise is vital for living, and music is saving my life by allowing me to enjoy something that usually is found to be boring. Music in everyday life for me is vital. Of coarse I experience music in the car anywhere I go and that is a huge help to long boring drives to and from anywhere. Music takes the loneliness out of driving, it is your friend. Basically music, is a companion that is with you unconditionally. As I write this now I am listening to music which only drives my writing. As we discussed in class music in culture is a vital part of defining the culture that you are in. Music can save a culture, revive a culture and single handedly define a culture. For example I was at a basketball game and between every time out a pump up style music was playing, also when we won the song "we are champions" was blaring and this is a vital part of a winning culture. Any type of culture has music, I think I can say that there is not one culture of people that music is not a defining characteristic. Music is everywhere its a part of us and our culture, whether we like it or not what we listen too does define us.

yes music does turn boring activities into something more and even gets me through a tough workout. Music can give that motivation or inspiration to keep me enthused which is awesome. I agree that music is in everyone's life even if they aren't conscious of it.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that music can help a person do just about any and everything. I feel like it helps me drive...I think because it calms me and takes my mind off of how far I have to go or the rest of the events in a day. Great blog!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you man, music is with me all the time. I don't think I'd be able to get through the day without it. I also like your point about how music can revive, liven, or define a culture - I wholeheartedly agree. Music is a supernaturally inspirational force, and one that should not be taken lightly.
