Definitely awkward! Music influences people’s feelings: What about a night club with no music? People standing around talking to friends or hitting on strangers, or worse, dancing without music…. Think about a wedding without music? Wouldn’t the silence be a little awkward if the bride walked to the aisle without music? It fills in silence and helps eliminate awkward feelings. They’re not so cool without music! Music helps social environments: What if Star Wars films were created without music? Would it make the show slightly more ridiculous, watching dramatic things and hearing people say dramatic things but not hearing dramatic music to support it?Īnd what if the advertisements we see on tv all the time were without music? Like, if the people talked the same but there was no music in the background? It wouldn’t be so appealing, would it! We wouldn’t be as inclined to buy those Nike shoes. Have you ever thought of what it would be like if the greatest football touchdown in history was played on our tv and phone screens without music? It wouldn’t nearly be as great an event without the dramatic music to support the emotion we should be experiencing in that moment.įurthermore, what would it be like if you watched cooking shows, make-up tutorials, or maybe any other YouTube channel without music? It would feel empty and quite frankly, a little boring, wouldn’t it? We make it an essential to our lives.ĭo we realize how much we value music in these times? Music influences visual experiences: Somehow it helps us get through things, so we keep using it. Have you ever noticed that when we all feel anxious about life, work, school, health, or perhaps our family’s well-being, we turn to music during those times? Maybe it’s when we’re depressed or dealing with depression on a regular basis? Many times, we turn to music to help us get through emotions. What about restaurants, shops and shopping centers, places of work and places of service? And what about all the times you are put on hold on the phone and music is played over the phone while you wait for your turn? Do we realize how much we value music as a culture? Music gets us through emotions: Think of all the places you go where music sets the mood of the location. Think of the films, commercials, video games, cartoons, YouTube videos, documentaries, even the news are filled with music. Think of all the platforms where we value music in our lives: Let’s refresh our appreciation of the things we consciously appreciate and make our unconscious appreciation of music, conscious. Let’s remind ourselves of this with examples of how much music is a part of all of our everyday experiences. How much do we consciously value music and its creativity around us? Do we realize how much musical creativity surrounds us all the time and how it plays such a major role in our everyday lives? Furthermore, are we valuing the artists and composers behind the creation of this music? This blog entry is inspired by a friend of mine’s Facebook post asking if we value music and appreciate the art-form as a top influencer in our daily lives. Do We Value Music As We Should Be Valuing It?
