No Words To Describe An Emotion

The definition of music is the following, "vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion".

But to me, music is more than that. Music isn't only a sound, it's a feeling, a way of life. A really amazing song can make you feel something that cannot be described by words, cannot be understood unless experienced.

I have been singing my entire life, and I don't intend to stop. As I say to myself when I doubt this, "I will never shut up." (Sorry Mrs. Joyner, I know I shall not ever say that. :) )

If I tell somebody repeatedly that I like a song, I don't like the song. It means that I am living the song. "What does that even mean?" You may ask. When I am "living"music, I feel as though I am somehow connected to the song. I am constantly singing, and when I'm not singing out loud, I'm playing the music over and over in my head.

 You may think you have experienced this obsession, but you probably haven't. I don't mean that in an exclusive way, I'm just trying to explain this feeling to the best of my ability. Usually this is most common in musicians.

My current music lifestyle revolves around Dear Evan Hansen. It's an amazing musical currently on Broadway, and here are the reasons, that I can put into words, why it's wonderful.

1. Ben Platt is amazing. (He also went to Camp Ramah. I go to Camp Ramah. We're practically best friends.)
2. The voices are indescribably phenomenal.
3. The story is inspiring and the song lyrics are something many teens can relate to.

I'm running out of adjectives.

I wish the tickets weren't so expensive so I could see the show!

Anyway, music is pretty cool. :)

  2. So... if I'm following your reasoning, I am practically Ben Platt's teacher. #loveyourobsession
