I believe

I believe in music. I believe that the soft touch on a keyboard or a slam on some drums can make a difference. I believe that music is the best therapy for a person's feelings. I believe that music is appreciated by everyone of any age.

I remember when I was younger that I wasn't too interested in music. Yes, I liked music, I would listen to it now and then, but I wouldn't sit and listen to music if I could do other things. Then I got an iPod for Christmas. The iPod was always in my ear, always blasting me with music at night. I loved listening to music. I realized that the music really changed my mood. While one song made me feel rebellious, another song would make me start jumping with joy. Some songs just made me happy and I liked the tune for some reason. One song in particular stood out to me. It was Crazy by Aerosmith. When I felt angry, unfairly treated and even sad it was able to calm me, make me feel happy. It's the sort of song that just makes you feel great. I would always wait for this one line in the song and it was just so wonderful. Whenever I heard the line I would be happy.

I believe that everyone's taste in music is different. I myself, if asked, can't answer the question of what group of music I fall into. Music is so different for each artist that I like bands and artists not types of music. Until very recently I would always insult new types of songs and say that rock was better even though deep inside I thought some of the songs where catchy. Then my mom said something to me, "Write one of those songs for me". Of course I couldn't and learned that all songs are different and even though they don't benefit my music taste they benefit others' music taste. Music has the power to calm, rebel, bring together and make someone happy. That is why I believe music.

I chose the image because it describes my belief in music. A rainbow of music is flowing through the darkness of normal life giving it life and happiness. There are different colors for the different artists music. The notes are casting out to everyone giving joy to those that don't have a lot of music. The image shows what I believe in music.
