Music is what feelings sound like


            "Music is what feelings sound like" is an unknown quote but all I know is that whoever said or wrote it, is a pure genius. Feelings are unreachable without music and the thought of no music makes the world seem dull, boring and lifeless. Feelings are surrounded with music and if music is not associated with feelings than someone is doing something wrong.
            I look at music as a gift from the universe to let us express our feelings, no matter what they may be, and to help other people express those same feelings that they could not put into words until then. Many artists are very good at this and many are known for appealing so well to people's feelings which is why this quote makes so much sense. When a person is feeling sad, they go and listen to a song that shows that same emotion. People can be read easily on what they listen to when it comes to that. It's easy to tell a person is mad if he or she is listening to a screamo band or that they are depressed listening to a band like Nirvana for one of Cobain's "I'm going to kill myself" kind of songs. Feelings are expressed through songs in many ways such as tone of the singer, notes in the music and lyrics. The lyrics or the way the singer sings the lyrics can effect one's feelings when he or she listens to it because they feel that emotion that the singer feels and it seems as a source of empathy. The beat of songs can surprisingly also effect one by the vibration he or she feels.
            Music is a strong thing and with it feelings can be expressed and shown. Music is not bad and without it people should not be able to feel much except boredom and depression. Music definitely is what feelings are made of.
