Music can lift people’s spirits. Music can make us happy. Music can make us feel like dancing. Certain music can make me feel sad and even make me cry. Some music just sounds like noise I want to stop.
My life doesn’t have much music in it right now. Not that I don’t like music. I used to love country music. But today’s country music has changed so much. It seems to be more rock than country. I used to enjoy the stories that were told in country music. But the stories seem to be gone and I often don’t know what the music is about. I loved the old country music of George Jones, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, and Conway Twitty. There are too many others to mention.
Here’s a story about country music a friend of mine told me. When she was younger her husband was a drunk. He would come home late or in the early hours of the morning. She said she used to turn on the music loudly in the mornings. She played songs like “Don’t come home drinking with loving on your mind”. Music allowed her to express her emotions without the use of words and made her feel better. She later divorced her drunk husband.
What would my life be without music. It wouldn’t change my life very much right now. But I still love to listen to music and even went dancing recently. Another night we went for Karaoke. That was interesting hearing all different types of music. And the music was great for dancing. Without music would we be dancing??
