Why I love my music

   Music fills our soul and immerses our lives. We play music while doing homework, in the car, and anytime we feel we need comfort or excitement. Music has become such a huge part of this generation’s life. Without music some people feel that they wouldn’t have made it through many obstacles that have occurred throughout their lives. Music saves us. The type of music that saves me includes Hip Hop, Reggae, Rap, and R&B. I love this music because it is energetic and takes me away into a secret place where I feel as though life cannot touch me. I’m in a different dimension and all I hear is the beat of the song, the voice of the artist and my brain analyzes the words. My body becomes one with the music and I am in control.

    Rap makes me bop my head to the beat and strain my vocal cords to keep up with the speed of the artists spitting his rhymes. The rhymes engulf my mind as I am amazed that someone can come up with this type of lyrical genius.  R&B is the opposite of rap. It is filled with soul and sensuality. It is smooth and calming. Reggae permits me to move my hips in a rhythmic motion. As a Jamaican born woman living in America reggae reminds me of home back in my country. The way the artist speaks the native language of Patois entrances me. Then of course there’s Hip Hop. Hip Hop includes most of my favorite artists and represents almost everything combined. It consists of artists that can sing and create dance music. Hip Hop is sometimes used synonymously with rap. These genres of music are what move me. They are what get me through the day when I play them on my phone and insert my headphones into my ears blocking out the world. Without music I wouldn’t be the same.
