WHAT IS MUSIC FOR ME

Why is Music important is to me
Music is the third most important thing to me in life outside of god and my mom. Music
keeps me balanced. Every since I was a baby music was played around me. Jazz was always
played around me to soothe me. There would be times when I would be really hyper acting
like I couldn't sleep, my mom would put on some jazz and I would be fine. A lot of times
I can have a long chore and I say to my self how can I accomplish this, Knowing it will
take me forever. So I'll put on some jazz music and in twenty-five minutes I'm finished.

A lot of times I can have a long tiring day and I want something that will soothe me. And
jazz music does it every time. Every time I through on a tape within one minute I forget
what I was made about or what's bothering me and I either fall asleep or I start my next
chore and move on to something else I had planned on accomplishing (Carlos P.46).
People ask me "what's the big deal with me and music", and I tell them plain and simple.
When I listen to music I let the song drown my problem. If the song has a positive
message then I don't have a problem listening to it. I can't listen to a song that's
talking about killing people especially after someone has just made me mad. Of-course in
music there is a lot more than just the song that A listen to I listens to the beat. I
will listen to instrumentals, but if there is a guy raping to swing music then that will
totally change the way I think of rap. I'm not saying that a person can't rap to swing
music but if you listen to music for fifteen years with a similar beat or rhythm then
when you hear it with something else even though it's still music it just won't sound
right. 
The reason I chose rap was because I had this disc Double Up by Mase. The chorus of the
song said if you love me I love you if you have me I'll hate you if you ride for me I
ride for you, but if you Fu@k me I'll Fu@k you(Mase) I truly believe in the golden rule.
I also believe in helping others, and I totally believe that in some ways music helps us.
For instance, when you're going throw trials and tribulations you don't want someone
telling that you can't make it, or some music playing that just rubs your problems in
your face. You want some soothing music that will at least bring some balance back into
your life. Every one was

born to be free and music is a style of expression. You can either express the way you
feel or and get out of that trap or you can just drown in your problems playing sorry
blues. All my life I worked with music and I realize that music is a difficult but
beautiful thing that people should take more time to appreciate. 
And in life theirs nothing I can relate to more than music. Some doctors and lawyers
can't help me but music can.
