From a very young age, music is an inseparable part of our lives. We begin to hear sounds and melodies from our family members, from the music they listen to, and often we end up listening to the same songs and musical genres as them. Although we start by listening to children's music, which our own parents play for us, as we grow up we listen to what they do.
Some acquire the same musical tastes as their family members, while others gravitate towards different genres, far removed from their family's preferences. In adolescence, I think almost everyone goes through a period where genres like rock and roll become part of a tradition for young people, due to their immaturity and rebelliousness. That was the case for me. As a child, I didn't gravitate towards any specific genre, but in adolescence I started listening to rock.
The first band of that genre was Rammstein; their songs were practically a daily anthem for me, haha.
We explore genres, sounds, melodies, lyrics... Music today is incredibly varied and diverse. And it often happens that what we don't like today, we might like tomorrow. Music is ever-changing; melodies captivate you. Since ancient times, music has been a part of humanity. Without realizing it, music has always been present, from chants and praises in certain cultures to the vast array of genres we have today. The point I want to make is this: with music, with songs, we navigate our daily lives.
Today I might be sad and look for a sad song to accompany or listen to what I want to express through that song. Another day I'm happy and listen to a song that makes me jump or dance (I can't dance, haha), but there's always at least one foot tapping to the beat. Another day I might be angry and listen to some rock... In short, there are songs to accompany every mood we have: sad songs, happy songs, hopeful songs, melancholic songs... and so on.
Every day of our lives, at least once, we accompany the passage of time with music. It doesn't necessarily have to be to match our mood; it can simply be because we like a song, its melody, its lyrics, or because we like the musical work of a particular artist. I'm almost certain that we all have a playlist on our phones, computers, etc., where we keep the songs we love most—songs that were created years ago but that we still listen to, and current songs that we want to hear often.
The melodies, sounds, and lyrics of songs captivate us, each with different tastes. The songs I like might not appeal to someone else, and so on.
The world of music is as varied as people and their personalities. Something I like to do when I travel is get on the bus, put on my headphones, and start listening to the playlist on my phone while looking out the window and watching people go by. I imagine how different the life stories of each person I see are as I listen to the songs. We should be grateful to the artists who compose and create the songs that are with us today. The music we like and listen to daily is part of the time worth cherishing for each of us.
The melodies that resonate with us become part of our story, and we often associate a particular event or story from our past with a specific song. Songs and the artists who create them also manage to unite some people because they share the same tastes. They make us want to spend time with those people and exchange ideas through music.
Music dances to the rhythm of life, often without us even realizing it.
There it is, a melody, a beat, always present in our lives. I'd like to read in the comments what kind of music you like, what genre in particular, and what specific moments in your life a song makes you remember.
Those of us who can hear sounds should be grateful; we are privileged in this world. There are people who, for whatever reason, cannot, even if they speak sign language. It's a little sad that they can't hear, that they can't feel a melody in their skin.
