Music is it's Own Language

Here's a picture of today's weather, minus the flowers and all lol. Artist: Jun

The song of today's post is here!

The band for today is The Band Apart :D! I talked about them in yesterday's post and I'll probably bring them up again since I really like them. The song is called "Flower Tone". Not their best song in my opinion, but the song makes me happy. I don't think this has anything to do with the theme of this post. Just to let you know before you start thinking weird stuff, like yesterday, the song won't always have any relation to the post. I guess this post makes me feel better since it's been raining all day.. I don't like rain.


Er.. Today I wanna make a short post about music. I don't like it when people discriminate music because music is sound..No.. Music is art in the form of sound. Which means that anyone who can hear can appreciate it. That's why I don't understand why people have to draw the lines between other things like appearances or language.. I think music is something that can be enjoyed no matter what language it is, seriously, music is music, whether the language is understandable to you shouldn't stop you from listening to it. Which is why I like instrumental music! Sometimes, no words can mean much more. Which applies to instrumental music. There's nothing like lyrics to distract you from the story the music is trying to interpret itself. Try to listen to some, close your eyes, and picture what's going on. This is a music exercise so any music students out there have probably done it before.
I think music is a good thing as long as you enjoy it and it sounds good. Which means no physical attractiveness should compete with how you judge a musical artist. 


I don't know if I'll talk about this again but I'll give a quick bit about my own musical background. I started piano around the age of 3? I continued it until I was 11. I quit because I didn't like it, but by now, I've come with the conclusion that it just wasn't my instrument. I was really bad at it, didn't try very hard, I didn't enjoy it. I might pick it up again though. By the time I was 11 we had to choose to play instruments in school for a band class. This was in grade 6 and 7. It was a really exciting moment, I decided to play some sort of baritone horn, but when the day came to try out instruments I tried blowing the mouthpiece of a trumpet and I just couldn't do it. I felt really ashamed.. I don't remember if I cried but it was a sad feeling since I'd made my mind about it all year. I could do flute and clarinet fine so I chose alto saxophone. Which I still play today! I'm glad I chose sax because I've learned a lot from it. I've been playing for about 3 years now and it's really fun, even though I come across a lot of hard stuff here and there.(I play it in jazz band). The last instrument I learned was bass, probably one that I enjoyed the most because I'd progressed a hell lot faster than the rest. I started this around late August last year, so yes, I've only been playing for about a year. I remember having nothing to do all year so I'd just sit down and practice my bass. This one is special because I started out with a crappy model and worked up to the one I have today! I paid some of it so it's really.. special to me. I don't have a picture of my saxophone, but I have some pictures of my current bass somewhere..here. Maybe I'll post some pictures of both later on. Just to let you know, yes I learned little things here and there, like recorder, castanets, triangle.. Little percussion things, I know :). I also learned guitar this summer.. Something that I will play on and off, not really learning it properly and playing it when I feel like it XD.
I think music is one of the few little things that I can actually brag about to people, so to me it's something really awesome. Also that it's something that everyone all ages and participate in. There are no limits, so pick up an instrument and pursue it!

I'm done for today. See you tomorrow everyone!

I guess today's theme is rain? This picture is pretty cute too,
I think there's another one that follows it, maybe I'll share that in the future.
