Music is infused in our lives. Try and go one day without in your normal routine and it is virtually impossible. The only way it can be done is to stay at home and don't turn on the T.V. or call to pay a bill basically isolate yourself from any electronic devices in the home. Maybe then you can go a day without music,but there is always the chance of the young-in driving by the house with his radio turned up. These days its very hard to escape music, Its used in almost all aspects of life. Ask any woman what song was playing when she lost her virginity and nine times out of ten them will be able to tell you. There was no music playing when I lost mine only the rhythmic beating of my heart.
We are so over exposed to music that sometimes we don't even notice that it's there. When we do notice often it's because it's a melody that is familiar to us. here are some examples of where we hear the music but don't always recognize that its playing. Think of a scary movie like Halloween with Michael Myers or better yet Friday the thirteen, and what comes to mind the music. It's used to help scare the crap out of us. It actual effects of physical and mentally. If you're tired put on some music with an upbeat tempo and give it just one song and I bet you feel more energetic. It increases the heart rate. Crazy right? ok back to where music is in everyday life.
In the morning when we wake up I'd be willing to bet most folks have there alarm set to the radio to wake them up. So your up now and grab a cup of coffee and turn on the T.V. overloaded with music and sound. Almost every commercial has it and all the shows. Ok so then what your off to work, jump in the car and I bet the radio comes on because you never really turn it off. Ok so now your at work, what helps most people get through a day. A very large majority of places have either music pumped in(retail) a radio playing(Kitchen)(op room) or they just have there ear plugs in listen to the station they made on Iheart radio or pandora. Now the work day is over and your hungry, off to your favorite dinner,grill and bar. Nine times out of time music will be playing in the background. Basically it's just about everywhere you go and in almost every activity you do. Just for fun try and go one day without it. Let me know how you did.
Music can take us back in time, jog or memory of special event or place or person. It truly is one of life's greatest gifts.
I named this blog "Music to My Ears" because when I blog under this topic I'm always going to share with the reader music that means something to me. You don't have to like it, and let me know if you don't.
Here is a song that is music to my ears. Can anyone tell me what musical instrument is not in this track, but is in almost all music we hear? George looks like he's really singing this but he's not.
Personal note: I am very bad at spelling and grammar. I'm asking you the reader, if you see something or read something that is not right please let me know. I will fix it so that whomever else reads the blog can enjoy it without the mistakes. Thank you and have a good day.
