As humans, our choices vary and that's how it has been since our inception, we have different beliefs, and the reasons why we believe what we believe are best best-known to individuals. Music means a lot to me, I see it as a medicine that heals me when I'm down, and it is also a food to the mind. Many will agree with me that music passes more messages than movies, music to me stands as a correctional tool that has been helpful since the beginning of the planet Earth.
Good music with good lyrics heals any wound emotionally, it's just disappointing that in our world today, we no longer listen to good music rather we choose to dance only to the beats irrespective of the message the lyrics are passing. We promote music today not because it is meaningful but because it has a danceable beat that the world would accept with open arms. The movie is impossible to watch and understand in a short period than music which can be listened to anywhere and anytime.
Music can lower stress hormones that inhibit memory and increase feelings of well-being that improve focus. Music can brighten up our mood as humans and even in movies, music is used to complete the message the movie is passing across as it establishes the setting, reinforces narrative development, creates an understanding atmosphere, calls attention to the element, gives meaning to a character's action, translate their thoughts, and creates emotion. Just like the movie, I watched yesterday night before going to bed, "a lady is badmouthing her best friend just to get the attention of a man" but before they acted out that scene, a soundtrack was played which gave me the idea of what the scene I like and just as I thought, so was the scene.
If I were to vote to choose between music and a movie, I would surely vote for music, you can do other creative things while listening to music but that's impossible when you are watching a movie because you wouldn't want to miss any scene. Sometimes when I write, I listen to music and it has been a good source of inspiration to me. Music has lots of benefits that help us as humans when we listen to music with good lyrics. There are different kinds of music for different phases of life, there is music you can listen to when you are in love, when you are sad that can boost your mood, and when you are going through difficult times that can give you hope you needed, so music is life.
BENEFITS OF LISTENING TO MUSIC
-
It makes you happier
-
It enhances running performance
-
It lowers stress and improves health
-
It helps one sleep better
-
It reduces depression
-
It elevates mood while driving
-
It strengthens learning and memory
-
It increases verbal intelligence.
All these are the good benefits derived from music which cannot be overemphasized because all the listed points apply to profitable living. This made me remember a past event where a 17-year-old boy was arrested for stealing and murder. When he was being questioned on how he came about the skills and tools he was using, he explained that he learned it from a home movie that he watched where a young man was using black magic to conjure a knife which he used in his robbery operation. The 17-year-old boy also sorted out a black magic power that he used to run his operation, this was the end of a glorious future because he was arrested and jailed. That was what his young boy learned in the movie and that ruined his destiny.
Many movies are being sold today that are not teaching our young ones what they should know but rather exposing them to dangers and so also is music but I will choose music over movies any day and any time.
Thanks for your time and your comments will be appreciated.
