@Musicmonday.music.blog presents new Tuesday talks
by Omphemetse Nkge
So lets talk about why elders have a very valid point about music being bad for you. Firstly what exactly is music?
Music is a vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. Yes exactly that’s music, lets put it in a more understandable manner shall we, music is therapy.
Now I know your surely asking me, “Omphemetse how is this pun relating to the point made by elders?” well the answer is, it actually is related to what I said earlier, elders are right music can affect us dearly because it is always in relative motion with our emotions and events for example, you are having a bad day and your positive mood changes for the worse, what do you do, head to your one and only best friends your earphones and phone, then you start to listen to either happy music, vibey music or relative music leading to a drastic change in mood.
A change in mood may effect the people around you including your elders, that’s why they feel as if its bad for us, their point may be correct but their understanding or even reasoning is not. The main thing is that music changes our emotions for the better or even the worse, it is a coping mechanism to help prevent any stress or depression.
The right music leads to the right mindset and environment hence at the end we should understand how our loved ones feel about the music we listen to or make and the loved ones need to understand how it helps us to cope with the stories that are in stored for us in life.
If something happened where I couldn’t write music anymore, it would kill me. It’s not just a job. It’s not just a hobby, its what I love to do.
