music

Music is great. It is at times exactly what you need to hear when theres nothing anyone can say to make sense of things. Sometimes songs have lyrics that just speak to you. Like if they were made for you at that moment to mold to your feelings. They might not make things better but you at least get the sense that someone somewhere wrote that song knowing exactly what your going through. I'm so glad whoever wrote some of the songs I listen to when I'm feeling happy as well as hopeless. Songs not only very from genre but from moods. Most of the genres include love songs as well as angry songs and just good old dancing songs to get your butt off that chair.

I love it when your just driving your car alone and all of a sudden a great song goes on and you just start singing along while people are driving past you and giving you a weird look. I always stop singing when there are people around but if its a sunny day i like to put on my shades and then I sing along even when people think I'm crazy because it probably looks like I'm talking to myself. I figure the shades are enough to hide my face haha. I guess the ride is better when your with your group of friends listening to a great song and singing along. Then you definetly don't mind if people stare and think your crazy.

I think music is great and should be free. I shouldn't have to pay .99 cents to about 2.99 online to download a song onto my ipod. There are a million plus songs and there are only more coming. How can we all possibly afford all of those great songs we like to hear if we have to buy each one. Isn't it enough we pay our internet bill it's already high as it is. And to think about it .99 cents may not seem like a lot but if you multiply .99 cents by about 400 which is about how many songs most people have on their ipod or listening device the dollars add up quickly. Thats about two weeks wage for an average minumal job.

Most Americans can't afford to pay that kind of money on music. There are some websites that allow you to download music for free but thats a felony. Although many don't get caught it is however like stealing and is wrong. Therefore the price of a song should  be reduced. I'm not saying .01 cent but something reasonable like .45 cents. It would be a little less than half of what it is now. Then there would be less piracy of music and people could listen to those great songs when there not on the radio. Or when your in your car and driving around wanting to feel a little crazy.

  1. I agree... I love listening to music just because i love that I can find songs that relate to me so well... It helps me deal with my emotions and just helps me concentrate more. I also agree that there should not be a price on music. I don't want to pay 2 bucks to listen to a song that I might get sick of in a week if they overplay it on the radio? LoL. But that's just me :)

  2. I sing along to music in the car all the time. Although if someone is in the car with me, I just mouth the words.
