A Universal Language

          In our generation, a common way to communicate with others is through music.  Whether it’s through singing, humming, or playing an instrument, through music people understand each other.  Music is a way to show and express yourself and the type of mood you are in.  A famous quote by Frank Ocean reads, “When we’re happy, we enjoy the music.  But when we’re sad we understand the lyrics.”  Also, the style of music we listen to conveys the kind of person we are. 

Some of us play music as a way to escape ourselves from the world we live in.  Some people play it and listen to it just for the entertainment of it.  And others listen to music because of the artists that play it.  Music has many different meanings to many different people.  To me music is sort of a way to relax but at the same time it helps me concentrate on doing other things such as homework. 

I don’t play any instruments but however I listen to a wide variety of music.  From Country to Rap to Latin music, I enjoy listening to it all.  Music is a universal language throughout the world and has a strong effect on people.
