Music- part II
Hello everyone, did you miss me? Well, wether or not you did or didn't miss me, I'm home. It was so much fun! Toni got 1st place in Apologetics- (in which I got last place in all of my rooms) Beth and her debate partner Avery got 4th place in Team Policy Debate- (Me and Anna had fun debating- we won 2 debates, but lost the other 4 * sniff * ) Brian got 1st place speaker, (I think... and oh yeah, Brian is Toni's debate partner) I forgot what place they got in debate, but it was real neat,  KG and David got 2nd place in debate, and there were others... but I forgot them. In other words- everyone in ARC did great! (So did everyone else who is not in ARC though... ) Now onto the musicall portian of this post.
Alright, I have discovered the true meaning behind music. Music is not just a melody, played over in over in a different way with different harmonys- but music is a story. A story that tells the life of a friend, your life, or whatever you want it to be the story of. So, in my other post about writing music, I said that everyone has a song, and it annoys me when the never write it down, you may have thought- "I can't write music, and I don't have a song!!!" Welll- if you thought that, than let me ask you a question. Are you alive? Hopefully, yes. As I said earlier, music is the story of someone's life. Hence- anyone who thinks " I don't have a song!!! " is thinking, which obviously means, that they are alive, which means they have a story- which means, that they have a song. The impact of this, is that every life, has a story, every story, has a song. And the world would be a sad place, if people didn't take the time to write it. Thankfully, people do write music, but because of that, people copy. Its not wrong, its not bad, it just means, that there will be less and less music, that truely is- music, if people hear what other people write like, and try to copy, how they do it. I used to try and write music like other peoples music- And when it didn't turn out the same, I was depressed because I could no longer write music like a used too. Then I realized, that music is not supposed to sound like others, but music is the story, of your life. No one is exactly the same, hence, no music should be exactly the same. Anyways... I hope you enjoyed the post!
"If a composer could say what he had to say in words he would not bother trying to say it in music."
~Gustav Mahler
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent."
~Victor Hugo
"After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is Music."
~Aldous Huxley
