Music holds so many different meanings for so many different types of people. To me, time spent not listening to music is time wasted. Depending on which mood I’m in, I have a different playlist to represent it.
One thing that I have noticed is that when I’m sad, listening to sad music makes me feel better. The sad lyrics and tunes of the songs tell me it is okay to be sad for the time.

On the other hand, if I’m not in the mood to go out with my friends or simply do not feel motivated, my pump up playlist gets me going and makes me feel good about myself. I don’t think this applies to me, but I do believe that music allows people to build a character for themselves. A person may not know how to put their emotions into words or express themselves but one of their favorite songs might.
Also, music has the power to bring people of all different backgrounds, cultures, race, gender, or religion together which is a beautiful thing. A concert is an environment where there is nothing besides the artist and their fans. The feeling of witnessing your favorite singer perform on stage in the same vicinity as you is purifying and life changing which honestly makes me question why certain concert tickets don’t cost more. Overall music has more power than words can ever describe and will never be ignored.
