I believe music brings people together. Not only just brings friends together. But also people who are meant to fall in love with each other. I can't explain, in words what I feel about this topic, if I could open my heart and pour it out upon a piece of paper...that would almost perfectly explain it.
I just got done watching "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist" I want a love like that. Through music. A boy and a girl were brought together. Two people that had similar taste in music. And the music brought out other interests in the two. And those interests and emotions began to grow into something so epic, so amazing, so beautifully uncomprehendable. I feel that I will find my other-half in such a similar instance as Nick and Norah did.I love beautiful music. And I know there is someone else in this world that shares the craziest of feelings over these two topics, music and love, such as I do. They are both such beautiful things. You can put loads of work and love into music. I believe good music has to have the love and passion put into it to make something big and beautiful. And that, right there, creates this beautiful, instrumentational, piece of art that expresses feelings, passions, goals, dreams and all else that is beautiful.
Music brings the best of emotion and character out in us. It can also bring out the worst of emotion and character in us. Even instrumental songs will do it. Music does not have to have words to express feelings and emotion. "Nick and Norah's Theme" by Mark Mothersbaugh is in fact a perfect example. You can feel all of the emotion in the different synth that is used in it. The song itself is full of the confusation and excitement of two beings falling in love with each other. It is so powerful. Another great example is "Lower Your Eyelids To Die With The Sun" by M83. Though songs have many different meanings, I believe that song is about the magic and beauty that can be found in life and love.
As I said, I could only explain this if I were to place everything that makes up my heart and soul onto a piece of paper. But I do believe that by a lyricless composition of different songs I could explain to you what I mean. Which is the beauty I see in it all. And though painting, photography, drawing, and skateboarding and other types of art are all amazing. I truly have to say music is my favorite of any art forms and I'm so passionate about it. With painting, photography, and drawing, a picture is only worth a thousand words, and music could only be explained with an infinite amount of feelings, words, and emotions. With skateboarding, it's all about expressing yourself. And you can do much more than that with music. So much more.
I believe the best most beautiful music is God-given. I believe that music is God's amazing piece of art that he has given us to guide us through this crazy life. And through that it can bring people together, make people fall in love, make people happy, make people sad, and the best thing about it, is it is always there. Music and love will never leave you no matter what you think or how you feel. They are both beautiful things and I love everything about each of them.
I heard something in a song that said "with all of our actions, we make music". And with that we are making the most beautiful, amazing, orchestral, composition that will ever be heard. YOU are making the soundtrack to your life with your actions.With that being said, live, love, and make music.
God Bless,
Christian Nichols
