What music means to me

So i have been writing "songs" since probably freshman year but it was always just something to do. I wasn't too serious about it especially since i didn't have a musical instrument to play with my lyrics. This year has totally changed my seriousness. Elin came and she plays guitar. quite amazingly and then also Ben came who is just as awesome, and them being my best friends lately. Elin is teaching me guitar and i have been writing a lot more and plan to get myself a guitar. I love music so much. I just want to to write something that makes people really think and listen and hear what it really being said. Music is so expressive. I wouldn't be who i am without it.

Music is such a huge part of my life and i can't imagine the world without it. Ever think about how much it influences us. No doubt some is not the best for influence but music is a big part of people. The creativity and the reality behind it tells a story and effects us whether we realize it or not.
Music can be an out, a savior, or a hobby for people. Some people listen to the beat and others listen to the words. Listening is only part of it though, actually hearing the words and what they mean or what they describe is the biggest part of music. No one could ever really appreciate music until they have really heard the story being told.
All forms of music tell a story of someone we can relate to. Scream, country, metal, rap, the list goes on. The artists are just like you and me, with an amazing way of expressing themselves.
The ones who don't write the songs could be the ones being saved by them. Every beat, every word, every song means something more then just another music star, another award, or another bad ending.
Our society and generation will never stop finding ways to express ourselves. Freedom of speech isn't just a right to protect our opinions its a way to express ourselves, to find who we are, and to save one another. Music is a huge part of the world, peoples imagination, and our success.
When I listen to music I find thoughts inside myself, feelings I didn't know existed, and a way to escape all the things trying to put me down.
Im going to make it through this life knowing that no matter what happens i will always have music and the stories behind the beat and lyrics of course to relate to.
I hope people will find what I have found in music. Let it in and enjoy the stories told every time we turn on that radio, our ipods, and our mp3s.
