What is it about Music?



What is it about the right song that despite your best efforts you just can’t hold your foot from tapping or your head form bobbing? Music is a huge and essential part of my life. It seems like everything that you do in life is better with a soundtrack.  The gym is better with a little heavy metal,  a barbeque is always better with some 70’s classic rock, it wouldn’t be romantic without some 50’s and 60’s classic love ballads. Every situation we face seems to have the perfect soundtrack for the occasion. Do you think that is the case because we have soundtracks to the movies we are all too familiar with or is there some real physical connection that we as humans have with the grouping of different notes put together in some sort of rhythm? I think that there is some sort of rhythmic connection in our souls. Every civilization since the dawn of time has had some sort of music. The first Lecture in my writing 150 class was all about music through the ages and the rhetoric that music uses to make its message.  There is a seriouse appeal to my Ethos when it comes to the songs I love
