Music present in many ways, I think its universal language, it has so many strengths, for example we use music in religious purpose, and we use it to connect our lives, which is very true since the music and emotions goes hand and hand. We can’t count the ideas we use in music, but I want talk about the one that interests me the most; which is music and culture. Every culture has their own music, which makes them unique and different I think that itself is a language. Music is one way in which cultures can not only identify themselves but also communicate with each other and find common ground. Think of a culture that's very different to your own; one that you have noticed for some reason or other, but don't know very much about. You will probably get an instant mental picture of the people of that culture and perhaps have some impression of their language, art and music, too. These sights and sounds can leave a deep impression on us. The sights and sounds of a particular culture may affect us without our fully understanding the meaning of their importance within that culture; now we see how music and culture goes hand and hand.

The ability to communicate your words and have it to connect to a vast audience of different souls . Not only are the lyrics a pivatol point , but the music as well. The go to source of inspiration for most , music carries itself on the ocean of our minds.

Music has always communicated different ideas to different people. A song always seems to tell a story or communicat some kind of message. Sometimes the message is not clear, and sometimes its very clear. Music can sometimes communicate feelings without any lyrics. The music itself communicates with you, not the written message.

To me creating music is a chance for a person to express themselves freely without judgement or prosecution and express how they really feel on a subject or idea. So having said that music is one of the best ways of communication because it is done so freely and from the heart. Music is a force of change because you don't always find music sometimes music finds you and that can ignite a spark within you and make you embrace ideas and problems you might have never brought to the light and thought about before. Music can also make uneasy subjects or problematic issues more appealing to consider and think about.

i know that that's what poeple see music as and why they write music to send a message or to communicate to someone else or something like that, but i dont listen for that in music. i listen to it for the beat, dancing music, or driving music. i dont listen to music that sends a message or is a song with force of change. so i wouldnt know about that.

Music has the capability to evoke emotion. It can heal people in times of sadness and grief, it can get them pumped for an upcoming event or mellow you out after a long day. Some people connects with songs because of the message, others connect with it because of the beat and rhythem but any which way, music has an influence over people, whether minor or major.

music has always had a way of communicating messages and different types of ideas or how another person feels. But to me and the way music communicates a message for me is the beats in the back and to have bass and treble and to be used for your vehicle. thats what music is to me and what I use it for.

Music by far is the most powerful thing that us as humans could have ever created. The reason for that is because of the messages they send out; tells of heroes going to save the day from a terrifying evil, a song of rebellion against tyrany in a country or even a song of joy and happiness. Those are all the many faces of music and there are many more! The communication aspect is that of it travelling from town to city and from city to town faster then anything in the world because even though governments put bans on singing certain songs or even dances it just makes people do it more and have an even stronger reason to rebellion against the government. Then with that change the country breaks out into song and dance about their victory over there coup d'etat and where that song and dance may stay in the country forever and spread to other countries or even die out in a decade or so. Music is the only plague that does not kill but make people happy, joyful and free.

This song I really don't enjoy it so much not my type of music. The message may give people who listen to this certain song help them a little bit and give them a little insite or may reflect on their lives. Any song really could or can be a way the world can be a part of something different, poeple change because of maybe a song or two they heard or listen to music just makes a person happy, sad or whatever or maybe just in the moment to, but only they know how they feel. A song can change the ways you might think, feel and have big inpack with the lyrics. People in the world take songs and place themselves in the music or have related somehow or another could be in the past, present or even in the future this happends to everybody with a song they may listen to.

Music is a voice for change in many ways for all people of shape size and color. It can comuunicate with us through it's lyrics by comparison of it's mean to the feelings of the person listening. It has a way of speaking to us that nothing else can, in a few simple minutes it can turn us from gloomy to glad from angry to sad to frustrated to happy. It has the force to change a person to motivate him/her to do what is for some hard to accomplish. It can change us by gathering those who share the same passion for it and others acurrances that relate to it and stand up for what is right in what we believe in. It is a force for change by the way music can heal a broken soul and the person it resides inside of. The most change for a force music can do is help us understand the world around us and the entities it holds in it's hands.

Music gets used for giving messages out by the artist. Music tells a story to the listeners that the artist is telling. Some songs that people listen to confuse the person they think they know the meaning but don't actually know that they don't really understand the meaning of the song, they think it means something else when really the artist is trying to give a different message out. The song "Gonna Find You- Operation Ivy" the artist was expressing how society is toward people, the artist was trying to give the message that whatever your suppose to be in life it will find you. Songs that have lyrics usually have a story or meaning behind them. I listen to songs for different reason,from being happy or being down about something. When you go to a club you hear club music your not going to hear some of the things you would listen to on your own time at a club because it doesn't fit the mood of everyone in the club.

I instanly think of Bolero by Ravel. It was composed for the ballet, with obviously no words but it conveys so much emotion. It's sensual, and beautiful with sexual undertones or so I have preceived . Everyone that I know that has heard it has some sort of opinion of it( usually positive). It takes the listener to a completely different realm, one of weightlessness and euphoria.I actually listened to it while in labor with my daughter and felt no need for pain killers.

Music is used by all cultures and is part of human history. It has the potential of touching and moving the soul. It is almost as though people are born with a natural desire to hear music and that this desire is ageless. When I really think about it, it really is a phenomenon how music crosses so many barriers (language, culture, generation,etc.) and the power it has to bring people together. I’m wondering if it just may be the most powerful form of communication there is. I don’t really think that I have ever met a person that I haven’t been able to talk about music with when all else fails. Music is also a trigger to memories of people that I may not otherwise think about. Without the music behind the words, chances are that the words would not have been heard and shared to make the connections and memories. Music also has a very powerful ability in that it can set a mood whether it is, somber, rebellious, mellow, energetic or refined etcetera and that this energy can affect masses of people. That ability that music has to change energy really is a force like no other. Music draws people to the message in the lyrics, opens the door to conversation and brings about awareness to things we may not be aware of.

I think music is the most powerful medium to communicate with the general population. It can move a mob of people, raging against "the man", and lull them into a swaying mass, lighters in the air. It can bring tears to the eyes of not just one, but many. Theres nothing like putting on a bob marely tune to quiet the masses. A guitar solo can tear into even the hardest mans soul. It has a message, a purpose, and it is eternal. Music is my creative outlet, whether it be listening, singing along, or hearing the deeper meaning in a song, slow or fast. If I had no music, there would be no me. It is my escape, my refuge. It is my passion, and my constant companion. My one true love is songs that can make me cry, or stop and say... wow, i'm not the only one that feels this way.

I think music is a very powerful form of communication. It has the power to invoke strong emotions as well as memories. It also has a strong ability to influence people’s lives and behaviours. Music is a good way to voice your opinion or send a message to the masses. It’s a language that can be understood around the world (minus the lyrics).

Music basicaly allows one to add an emotional element in an intuitive and moving manner. It has an emotional language that anyone nurtured and brought up in the same musical culture can comprehend. It can be used to communicate an emotion to audience.Moreover, music through its rhythms, soundful lyrics and colorful tones acts as a catalyst for movements of change. Thus political changes do follow modes of music change.

Music is a big major role in everyones life now a days because it has so much meaning, a lot of "force and change" and the meaning of that is that artists today try and make a positive difference in thier songs and they tell you how they came from nothing to now how they are famous by how they kept failing but you cant suceed if you dont fail.
