The Art of Music
Music has influenced my life in many ways; I believe it has shaped my life and made me who I am today. Music is a part of my everyday life. It helps me cope with any obstacles I might stumble across. When I am sad I listen to emotional punk. Like Red Auerbach said “Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Music is that one thing that puts my mind at ease, no matter how I am feeling; I can always find a song that I can relate to. A particular band that has had great influence on me is The Ataris. Their heart felt lyrics really reach out to me in great depths. Music is an art form of expression. It does not have to be expressed in words, rather it can be expressed in harmony. I have attended several Ataris concerts, and at the concerts I have felt completely liberated to express myself in front of others who may be experiencing some of the same problems as me. This particular album by The Ataris called So Long Astoria is written about the bands good times, their childhoods, and how they faced problems. Two particular quotes that touched me were; “The hardest part isnt finding out who you need to be, but it is being content with who you are,” and “So long Astoria I found a map to buried treasure, and even if we come home empty handed we still have our stories of battle scars, pirate ships and wounded hearts, broken bones, and all the best of friendships.” What this quote means is that no matter what bad things may come, youll always have good times to remember. Its not about having material things but having what really counts.
