THE SOUND..

I remember when i was younger i was at my first wake, the room was silent. I personally did not really know who exactly had died i sort've was dragged along by my parents. Besides the sound of people praying underneath there breath and low cry's nothing else could really be heard. But eventually then began to play a song which happened to be "Say Goodbye" by Boyz 2 Men. As the song proceeded to play i look around and noticed more and more people began to cry. Some seemed that they were holding in more than they can bear.soon it seemed like everybody was in an even deeper mourning. hear is when i began to wonder what exactly happened that turned the entire mood of the crowed. i realized then its music! The theme of the song which touches on the difficulties of saying good bye is what moved the crowed and some how touched everyone. Hear is when i seen the power of music. This is what brings me to research more on how can music really effect a person.

I always had an interest of music since i was younger and had seen music change peoples lives. like young girls who were in trouble joining church choires to turn arouned there lives.i know that many people look for music as a form of expression such as writing songs or through poetry. Or like drummer Travis Barker who says playing drums is the only form of stress relief that actually works for him. Music can have many positive effects on people but could also be scrutinized as the cause of many bad things. For example columbine which one of the causes was supposably due to the music of Marilyn Mason.

For reasons like these i find my topic to be very interesting and i hope that further research would get me closer to the answers that i seek
