The Joy For Friends And Music
If you could notice, noise surrounds us most of the time. Coming from vehicles, people chatting or shouting, sound of the television, dogs barking and even, on some occasions, fireworks. And when we are sleeping, it doesn’t mean that we will not hear any noise at all. Car engines that are still traveling at night, the sound of the air conditioner in your room, these are noise contributors too. Sounds could be as irritating or could be as pleasing to our ears, and music is one of the most pleasing one to listen with.
I grew up in a family where in my mom and dad would always sing to us, it’s actually a profession for both of them. My mom used to sing with my dad as member of her band.
While growing up, my sister and I would, most of the time listen to the songs that our mom has recorded. My father would then teach us how to sing them properly and even record our own versions as well.
Now, looking back at those times when we were still young made me realize that singing or the music itself is not just for some people create or perform, there has to be feelings in it as well. I remember what my mom told me that whenever she sings this particular song she thinks of me, another song would be for my sister and another for my father. This only means that she thinks of us, her loved ones, and that is the reason why she performs well because it’s like dedicating the song to us even if we are not there.
There are times when we as a family would just sit and sing most hours of the day, my father once said that one of his greatest possessions is the ability to make music which he would like us to continue as well. Dad knows how to play guitars, drums and piano, he can sing very well too.
To have music in the family is a great way to spend and enjoy your everyday. You could be the singer or the drummer, the guitarist or the pianist, whatever your interest maybe, it will sure be fun for everyone.
There are a lot of ways for people to express themselves and music is definitely one of them. With so many types of music to choose from, surely you’ll find one that best describes your feelings or you mood for the day. Even if you can’t sing or play that well, that doesn’t mean you can’t listen to the music. Music is just simply for everyone.
My love for music will always be there as my love for my family as well. Music helps me remember good things about them and will always remind me wherever I go.
