However, there is a deeper meaning to the word "music" than just the general definition in my opinion. Music to me is something that calms the mind, brings joy to the ear, and is a simple breath of fresh air. Furthermore, it allows artists to influence their audience, listeners, and fans while expressing their mindsets and experiences. Music is a source of mental relief!]]> 2018-01-25 00:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224480718 paytonmathis https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224483671 When I get ready to start my day in the mornings, I have music playing in the process. When I head off to class, I wear my earphones unless I am walking and talking with someone. When I am driving, I play music. When I am walking around campus (without earphones), I either hears students playing instruments, singing, or even listening to their own music out loud. When I am with my friends, we sometimes sit and talk about new songs that are out and listen. When I go on trips with my family, we have songs that we sing along to. As one can tell, music plays a very big role in my life and I can not go a day without it. ]]> 2018-01-25 00:45:51 UTC https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224483671 paytonmathis https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224486431 My music is any song that has a good meaning, beat, or story behind it. It is also any musical element with several instruments that can flow together and compliment each other or individuals with voices that can harmonize and create a jaw-dropping melody. There are many genres that I listen to, which is why I have a wide range of music in my phone. My friends will even confirm that I listen to many genres of music. If you name a the song or even play it, eight times of ten I know it. With that being said, I am more than positive that it is safe to say... My music is all types of music!]]> 2018-01-25 01:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224486431 paytonmathis https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224489920 Yay! It is the question I have been waiting to answer this whole assignment. My favorite genre is R&B music without a doubt. This genre of music has been with me ever since I was little because my parents always played it and they still do today. This is not the only reason why I enjoy R&B; it is because the music is soothing to me and I can relate to it the most because I am an old soul. My favorite song is Keep Your Head to the Sky by an R&B band named Earth, Wind, and Fire because it influences me to stay positive even during my tough times. I would like to end this section with a simple quote from the song that says, "You need faith to understand so we're saying for you to hear...Keep your head in faith's atmosphere"]]> 2018-01-25 01:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224489920 paytonmathis https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224493777 At the beginning of my padlet, I stated that music is "something that calms the mind, brings joy to the ear, and is a simple breath of fresh air." This is what music means to me. I listen to music when I am sad, I listen to music when I am happy, I listen to music while I work, and I listen to music when I'm relaxing. You may be wondering why I am stating all of this when it could be stated in what I do with music in my everyday life, but this is showing that music helps me relieve any negative vibes I have, helps embrace the positive vibes I have, and mainly helps me get through life. Beyonce stated in one of her songs "My aspiration in life is to be happy." That is my mindset as well and music is definitely my happy place!]]> 2018-01-25 02:10:37 UTC https://padlet.com/paytonmathis/wo18m544iast/wish/224493777
