The Movement of Music

26 October 2009 12 Comments

Music is a movement that is heard throughout the world.

A freedom of speech that can’t be silenced. With every generation in every type of culture you will find music. Today the power of music is so strong that company’s are branding their name with a catchy tune or jingle.

Music is so powerful that it is often used to time travel. We use music to remember a loved one or even a prior friendship or relationship. As a time machine, music enables us to never forget. Countless times when a familiar song is heard, we are taken back to a different time, a time so vivid, you can even recall the smell in the air. When you reflect with old friends, use music and without fail you will sit there for hours talking about those times from way back when.

Next time you are walking down the street, start singing or humming a tune from when we were kids. You will find that people everywhere will start to sing along with you, don’t believe me? Then start humming the sesame street song, see, everyone knows that one, even our kids.

You see, the movement of music is everywhere. I know that I have just barely touch on the subject, but I just wanted to share this little bit so that maybe next time when you hear that song, and you come back from that Blast from the Past, you’ll take that moment to embrace the energy that music shares.

    I have noticed that.

    Another great example is if you start singing a Queen song. It doesn’t matter who it is, everyone starts to chime in and eventually everyone is just all out singing along.

    ‘friday i’m in love’ takes me back to being 12 and singing it with a wednesday for obvious reasons, haha

    I totally agree. I hear many different songs and they bring back great memories or sad ones. People need music in our lives to help us get through a rough spot in are lives or to raise are spirits. Music is what can bring people closer and start new relationships through dancing and other forms of music entertainment. So i totally agree with this that music is powerful and that it is everywhere and that’s a great thing.

    And then there’s that love song that takes you back – amirite? lol its gotta take be back to the sock hop days of rockin it with that girl i had a crush on in junior high.
    Or maybe that party where the stars were aligned and all I could see were her eyes and a flashing skirt and the beat pulled us together…

    I can see it happening when i play music and people look into each others eyes and I can only be honored that I am a small part of the process.

    I like Boys don’t cry better, other Cure songs from before. What about Joy Division or Sonic Youth or The Jesus and Mary Chain or Mudhoney.
