Technically Music is Defined as – “vocal or instrumental sounds
(or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and
expression of emotion.”
But ask a layman and you are going to hear something like
this - “ Music is one which can’t be
explained but only felt “ “ one which touches your heart and souls and transform
to other world “ .
It happens many time when you don't want to talk to anyone, time
when you brain stop processing any information, time when your loved ones look
like mad crowd to you . Other time , you just don’t want to talk with anyone ,
don't want to discuss anything . At Times when any artificial light seems to
drain energy from you.
It happens when
body and mind wish to go in “HIBERNATION “Mode and only savor seems to be Music.
As saying goes “One size doesn't fit all “, similarly everyone has different
taste for music.
Even depending on situation,
conditions, surroundings and most importantly mood , same person wish to hear different genre of music . There is a
logic and science behind how music tends to soothe mind and soul. Even Doctors
and psychiatrist prescribes patients to listen to instrumental music especially
Indian classic to help heal body quicker. Now days expecting moms are advised
to play and listen to specially created musical content which helps in better
baby growth.
Most of the top performing sportsmen, leaders, politicians admit
to hear their favorite song / music before any big event which can be a Major game
play or Public speech.
Ages since Ages music has survived and have been growing and it’s
difficult to find anyone on this planet at least who don’t like a single genre
of music. Millions of people have built
their entire career across music and it goes way beyond our regular Bollywood numbers.
For adventure seekers sound of ocean waves serves as music, for mountain climber’s
music is what played by wind at 20,000 plus feet height, for Moto- enthusiastic
roaring of a engine is music to their ears.
What can be irritating for one can be melody for other?
Now Question arises why suddenly I started writing an Impromptu
post with every fifth word as” MUSIC “.Reason behind is the discussion
happening between me and my friend. He believes Music causes distraction and
waste times and decrease productivity. On the other hand , I am music junkie
believes and support listening to music is like medicating or performing yoga
which actually help me in concentrating and act as steroids for my creative side
of brain .
Although, his example too hold good when violent /aggressive side
of a person takes over his soft side when he is continuously exposed to dark
side of music. But then it’s true for everything in life. It’s always comes to interpretation
of everything which defines how we wish to use it. Same argument is going on
for ages for technology, weapons, education and numerous other things.
So as a reader of this blog, I would like to know people who have
been reading this post what their views are. Let’s keep this as an open debate
and hear what all perceives.
As an Individual, My theory remains – Music is the Gateway to our
souls
