Has someone ever asked you, ‘What are you passionate about?’ There may be some of you reading this, thinking that you don’t know what to say? Well, when someone asks me what I’m passionate about I say music because of many reasons. Each of these reasons is part of the music: the lyrics,the melody, or the voice of the person singing.
Some songs have meanings in the lyrics, lyrics can have many meanings depending on the way you view it. On the other hand, music can just have one meaning. The lyrics can also express emotions like sadness,jealousy, isolation,and happiness, Music can also talk about things like love, moving on,or finding yourself. Music can also interpret the feeling of losing a loved one,one song. For example ‘heart to heart by Marc Demarco’. This song was made by Marc Demarco for his friend mac miller who sadly passed away. But the name ‘heart to heart’ is something usually used to express two people being able to to talk freely to each other.
The melody in songs plays a big part. For example It can express the feeling in lyrics or the singer’s voice. A lot of songs have different melodies which I think that’s what makes songs unique of course. Imagine listening to different songs with the same melodies? it would be boring, which is why we have different melodies in each song but some songs will use the same melodies but they’ll interpret it differently, maybe also the melody is why we like many songs I personally really like beaches by Beabadoobee because of the background music I love how the electric guitar makes her voice in the song sound, so melodies play a important role in music.
A final reason I’m passionate about music is because of the singer. Many singers have very different voices. They could have a nasal voice, deeper voice, or a higher voice sometimes. Their voice can determine the music they make. Singers can also have different voice ranges like an A,B,D,E to see if they can hit high notes or just sing in general,some singers have similar voices while some have different voices. A singer I like is Laufey because she has a very beautiful voice it’s like this soft lower voice which real captivates you into her music, there’s many singers who have this affect on people another example is Die with A Smile- by Bruno Mars (feat.Lady Gaga) Many people find this song captivating because of the well written lyrics and clear meaning.
In conclusion, I’m passionate about music for many reasons but the main one is how music can make someone feel things. Music is something that many people can have an escape from reality and I think that it’s beautiful how music can bring people together.
