When I think of a definition for music, all I can think of is the word "comforting". Music is there for me daily when I feel alone. Music is my shoulder to cry on when I'm missing home. Music gives me that burst of motivation while working out. Music is the ultimate friend.
My music taste ranges from Classical, to Metal, to Indie Rock, but my favorite would have to be Alt-Rock. As I mention in my Media Report, Alt-Rock speaks to me not in just the style, but in the lyrics as well. To me, Alt-Rock is a genre that can do its own thing and still be loved by so many. Many artists associated with the Alt-Rock genre have come out and explained some of their struggles in the past, or their hardships, through songs, and that just makes me feel more connected with them personally. I do not think of music as just words and a nice melody; I think of something with a deeper meaning. Music is something that can be understood without being in ONE language. Music uses tone, dynamics, and emphasis to tell the listener what is going on. It lets the listener feel the mood of the song.

This is an image of one of my daily encounters with music. I collect vinyl records and I listen to them almost everyday. This record is by the artist flatsound.

This image was taken by Brad Heaton at a concert for the band twenty one pilots. (source: http://www.bradheaton.net ) This is the lead singer, Tyler Joseph, reaching out in the crowd to grab a fans hand. From this image, you can see that there is a connection between artist and fan. There is a bond that could only be made by music. Both people are there for one thing; music. This goes to show that music does not only bring people together, but it creates an unbreakable bond.

This is a short video I took while walking down my hall to my room. It is a little hard to hear, but it is someone playing the electric guitar in their room.
Living at Bruce Hall gives me plenty of opportunities to hear the musical talent of so many people because it is the LLC for music majors. This is just a little piece of what I get to interact with daily.

This song is from the Original Soundtrack for the PC game "To the Moon".
Artists: Kan R. Gao
Laura Shigihara.
This is one of my favorite songs because of the fact that it does not need lyrics for you to feel the sadness in it. Just by listening to the use of lower octaves, slower melody and use of dynamics, you can tell it is a sad song.
