Sound Of Music

Sound Of Music

Article by Jim Newton

I just love music! Do you love music? Do you have a favorite type? How do you listen to your tunes? Do you watch music videos, listen to internet radio, or plug in your mp3 or CD player. Even if you have a wide range of music you like, we generally have a favorite genre. Lets play a game, how many types of music can you name? Don’t look at my list. I bet there are more types or genres of music than you knew. Let’s see how many I can name:

How many of those did you name? Ok, ok.. .. I cheated a little, I did some research to write this article. I’m really not that smart, but I didn’t even name half of them. I left a lot out. It’s truly amazing how many types of music there are. I bet that before I started doing the research, I couldn’t name 20 of them. There were a lot I never even heard of. A lot of those are new, some are old.

Music has constantly changed ever since the first cave man made a beat on a hollow log. I think mankind has always had the beat in them. Not just the types of tunes either. The way we listen to tunes has changed too. When I was young, we had albums, 33′s, 45′s and 78′s, then there were 8 track tapes, then came cassette tapes, now we have CD’s and Mp3′s. Each step improved the quality of sound, made it more accessible, or more mobile. There is no telling where it will go from there.

I can still remember when Mtv first came out. For the first time we could watch music videos. Now there are many videos stations available on cable. Now we have the internet to get our music fix. Internet radio, and mp3 download web sites, and of course YouTube. I often surf the internet with a music video playing, or an internet radio station on.

Music is popular because music means so much to us. What does it mean to you? Watching a music video, listening to internet radio, or a mp3 player can stir some emotions in us. Sometimes, you just remember your childhood, sometimes, you remember a lost love, or it makes you dreamy eyed of your current love. Sometimes music can make you feel like dancing, sometimes it makes you want to cry. Music can also give you inspiration. It can also have powerful religious connotations.

Music is just plain powerful. As music progresses, the sound quality improves, and the mediums for delivering the music improves, it’s just going to get more and more powerful. All this talk about music has made me want to go pick out an mp3 to purchase and download, because after all, there is nothing like the sound of music.

I like to listen to free music, including music videos and internet radio at MuStation. Article Source
