10.) Country music. Country music is the sum of everything I despise. Every song in that genre sounds the same, usually starting with their cold beer on a Saturday night, trucks, and wet T-shirt contests. Ew, no thank you, I'd rather not. The instruments and rhythm rarely ever vary, and it's not technically difficult most of the time. Honestly, if the banjo riff starts up, I'll pull your aux cord out, and then promptly ask you to leave my car. It will not be tolerated.
1.) When I listen to music, I have the sudden motivation to complete whatever task or problem I face with renewed zeal. Normally I'm like "ugh running, I'm getting sweaty and gross", but when by earbuds are in it's like "Heck yeah, watch out wold, here comes Chad Myers!" It's like a sense of urgency, not really a particular emotion, more of just like that I need to do this for myself.
15.) I think it would be great to be a musician professionally, even though my singing voice is... well... awful. My piano skills are my strength musically, and I really enjoy it. However, since I started quiet a bit later that my peers, I'm still behind but I'm creeping up on them in skill. I think that playing the piano on stage would be fulfilling, even if now I'm too timid about by abilities to play in front of others. That'll come with time.
4.) I mostly gravitate toward music through repetition. The more times I listen to a song, the more I grow to like it. Eventually, the love dies, and I find a new song. It's like with piano: if I spend the time to and energy to learn to play a song, then I'll eventually grow to like it, or I wouldn't have finished it. I guess familiarity makes me naturally learn to love it.
3.) When I was young, I abhorred music of all genres. Weird, right? I just didn't see the point of music, and I thought it was a waste of time and energy. I saw the point behind things like painting: you have a tangible product that can last for centuries. Music isn't as definite and tangible. Music is fleeting, and doesn't last forever. I didn't understand how I could like something that will not be able to stick with you. It was until about the end of middle school to early high school when I learned that music has a quality that other types of expression don't possess: the beauty of the now. Music does stick with you, at least the good music does. You hold it within your thoughts and memories, and that's enough.
6.) Without music, the world would be a lot more dreary and desolate. It would be like time was standing still. Music is the thing that proves that time goes on. Art's the concrete things that stay, but music keeps things in motion and change. Without change, the world would truly be boring place, as change is what keeps things in order and balance; otherwise, things would continue perpetually, and nothing would ever be fixed. It's the desire for change that separate us from any other species, without that we're no more than the primates that we descended from.
