Sweet, SoulIul, Music.
LiIe can be very diIIicult at times, sometimes too hard to even handle. It is Iilled with
ups, downs and many obstacles that you can`t avoid and have to get through and it just so
happens that there are many awIul things going on in our world with war going on and a weak
economy in the United Sates right now. There are many things and habits that people use to help
ease the diIIiculty. Some people look to therapy or drugs to help their problems while others look
to music. Music is essential to living a healthy liIe and happiness. It can help you Ieel diIIerent
emotions and even re-live moments in your liIe may. These moments may be happy or sad, but
it`s makes y and helps you Ieel something. It is a way to escape what is going on around you
even iI it is even just Ior a Iew minutes.
When a happy song plays while you`re driving in the car you can Ieel this emotion
throughout your whole body. You can help but want to dance and move to the music. Or when
the song that you had your Iisrt kiss to comes on and the memories come rushing back. There are
things that music makes you do. Music can have this power over people and the ability to take
over the mind and body even just Ior a moment and takes away all the other thoughts and
concerns. It adds substance to a person`s liIe and gives insight at times. It can even help people
Iocus and push through work assignments and keep their mind Iocused instead oI wander oII.

Every loves and listens to music. Murderers, mothers, students everyone it`s one thing
that everyone has in common not matter what their race or religion. Music is so important to help
release tension and thoughts. Music should be embraced by all and can never be taken away.
Music is everywhere even iI you don`t realize it. It`s the way you type on the keyboard or the
way the trees rustle in the wind. There is a hidden beat. Also you can create music so simply.
Music is essential to liIe and happiness without it many would be lost and even
without work. It can change a person`s mood and out looks on liIe. It reminds people that
happiness or emotion in general exists. Music is the one thing that unites all humanity and shows
how similar we all truly are.
