Music is a cure to any sadness or anger. It helps you relax and calm down; Along with kindness. Being kind isn't a talent it's something that you just do. When you help other people it makes you feel better. Listening to music blanks out your mind and puts you in a world of your own. Does kindness have the same affect? Receiving compliments or giving compliments don't only make you feel good but make the other person feel special as well.
If you are ever feeling down or angry listen to a calm song; a happy song! Listen to music that promotes happiness and generosity not anger and despair. As teenagers we tend to go through a phase in our life where we think that everything is terrible. From high school drama, break ups, excessive amounts of homework and parents that are constantly on you. If this is what phase you are in; stop for a second go to your playlist and listen to happy songs not slow and sad songs. Up beat is good and slow is boring!
As a teenage girl I tend to listen to a lot of slow songs but just because I simply enjoy them. I will sometimes have these terrific days and listen to up beat and happy songs. Some music will have racist or explicit language which is terrible for the mind and the brain. Many teenage students are interested in "rap" which includes the racist and explicit language. Do students/ teenagers only listen to it because that is what everyone else listens to or do they like the fast beat?
A few music ideas include:
Keep your head up - Andy Grammar
Anything- Hedley (CLEAN) version
Put your records on- Corrine Bailey Rae
Happy- Pharrel Williams
Every 1s a winner- Hot Chocolate
Feel so alive - Down with Webster
HAPPY by Pharrel Williams : this is a great song because not only is it popular it is up beat and most importantly HAPPY!
Paige, I like how you started your topic, but you should put the topic that your going to talk about so that people can know what your talking about. What I like about this is that you explain what songs make you feel. Overall good job.
ReplyDeleteHi Paige,
ReplyDeleteGood job on your post! I agree with many of the points/statements you made in your Current Events post such as many rap music songs containing explicit language. I like how you explained what some music can actually do to our feelings and how they can change our mood.
You sound answer or try to answer that last question you asked, "Do students/ teenagers only listen to it because that is what everyone else listens to or do they like the fast beat?" and see what your classmates have to say.
I also really like how you even gave some examples of songs to listen to!
