how music can affect us

by xuyang sun
Maybe music is the only thing that everyone in the world is familiar with, although some people are not aware of that. It can be as simple as the sound of rain, or a certain rhythm that come out from the corner of a street. Till now, we have created so many different types of music, as pop music, blues, jazz, rock & roll, and rap. Each one of them has a unique style. I don't have a favorite type. I listen to music as long as it moves me. Music can be so affected to us that it can easily change our life.
Different types of music can have different effects on people. Music can be a close friend when you feel lonely. Sometimes music can even make you cry. There are always a bunch of people who are crazy about music. It is not always the same way. Some folks scream and pass out in a singer’s concert; some folks go to an opera every Saturday night. In a concert, such music has so strong rhythms and beats can make people pop their heads. And in an opera, music is like a whisperer telling you an interesting story that can deeply stick to your soul.
There is a white rap singer, Eminem, recorded a song “Stan” in 2001, which according to a true sad story about a fan wrote him several letters, and expected him to write back, but he didn't because he didn't receive the letters. So that fan suicide by having a car accident in the highway and his pregnant girlfriend in the back of the car. It is a sad story. I think it is one of the evidences that shows music can affect people. His music is full of violence and discrimination, which somehow reflect his own sad childhood. Some people who also have a sad childhood listen to his music can find something in common and even change their own characters and do something stupid
There are also many good ways that music can affect us. As a matter of fact, I believe that today most of music encourage us to get rid of bad mood. When I was in the library alone, bored and exhausted, I usually listen some music. It always helps me get happier and kill time. Even though sometimes music has negative effects on me, I think it is the last thing to get rid of. Music makes my life wonderful. It can make me strong and give me the courage to get through the bad times.
