Subjectively, after going through a pretty rough week, I would like to share with all of you the wonders of music. I'm sure most people reading my blog.. dah tau lah, apa yang sangat hebat tentang musik, yeah? :)
MUSIC:
The one way you can let go of your emotions - well, this was how it originally is meant to be, lah, don't know about how people 'express' themselves now through music. Showing off body parts, cleavage in music videos or just completely ruining music by going "I slit my wrists to *band name*" is just a big NO NO for me.
Personal therapy: Pernah tengok August Rush? I recommend that movie to you all, it's so damn nice. Like they say in that movie, 'You never quit on your music. No matter what happens. Cuz anytime something bad happens to you, that's the one place you can escape to and just let it go.'
- After a break up or a fight? You listen to sad songs, or maybe happy songs, or maybe angry songs. Music is there for you to make you feel better (or worse).
- Stressed out from work? You listen to music.
- Having a nice night at home with your lover? Turn on some seductive, smooth music.
See, music does the tricks.
Like Bob Marley once said, "One good thing about music; when it hits you, you feel no pain." I couldn't agree more. Unlike relationships, unlike 'love', music does not hurt you. Yes it is amazing to have someone who cares for you, at that moment, but hey you got to admit, every time there's a break up, or something worth celebrating about, it's the music you turn to for help.
Music is eternal: It won't die. Ever. Especially now, we are now living in a world where everything seems to be going wrong. The rights have been made, and we are now just screwing it all up. Technology is now causing less socializing. Cars and transport, machines, factories have caused pollution. Fastfood is causing fat people. So really, again I quote JoJo from the movie Across the Universe: "Music's the only thing that makes sense anymore, man. Play it loud enough... it keeps the demons away."
After everything that has happened, all the differences, all the discrimination, hatred, love, etc... Music still managed to maintain universal. An Australian could be listening to a Malaysian song and still say "Hey I like this, though I don't understand it!". Or a Chinese boy listening to a French song... same thing. Music keeps everybody as one. (Cheesy, I know!)
True? Yeah.
Where's my complain?
Here it is.
I'm so glad to have found such passion within music, and everybody else who are into music, so what pains me is when people start to insult each other over music tastes?
"Ew you like rap, you're a nigger."
"Hardcore metal? Eurghh, so rough."
"They go to gigs? They must be poor and messed up."
"She listens to Ashlee Simpson... what a bimbo."
Do we need all these stereotyping? Why is it that people find so much pleasure in finding hate withing everything? Here we are trying to raise awareness over racism, bullying, labelling, etc, but what do we get? Hypocrites saying "I love music, but yuck I hate *put in a genre*, that isn't music!"
Well, you know what, f*ck you. Right now, even superstars and bands are downed for insulting each other's music, so who are we to think we can get close enough to them to even say irrational things like that?
Are you the one who made music? Did you create music? Take heavy metal, or rap for example. Who are you to say, "heavy metal/rap is not music"? If it is not music, pandai, then why would they be er... under "music genre"? Seriously, think before you talk, unless your aim is to get people insulting your intelligence... like I just did.
Like I have probably mentioned in my previous blog posts... If you don't like a certain type of music... just keep quiet, or just go "Aiyo..." or "Tsk". Don't start going "Ew, what the hell is this sh.t, why do people even listen to this crap?"
Okay, if you say it once or twice, fine... but if you start saying it like as if you alone know what good music is... then shut up. Seriously, no one's interested.
Instead, you could go "Oh, you know, you should really check out *band's name*, they're a lot better, in my opinion." At least macam tu, you don't offend sesiapa, you make friends, and you allow your thoughts to be shared. Kan?
Stop the Anti movements, stop the hatred, because music isn't for that. Unless you're writing a song.
