Music For Health \ English Work /

    Music is something that every person has his or her own specific opinion about. Different people have different taste, and music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, soothing, energizing, and many more.

    There are so many types of music out there today. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste in music, especially if music is important to them.

     People can use music to express themselves, in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art. Look at a musician when he plays music; his body moves like music, his body sweats like music. You can usually tell someone what is his personality by the type of music he is listening to.

      I can personally relate to the effects that music has on its listeners and users because it’s a big part of my life. Every day I listen to the words and sounds of differents bands with contrasting ideas and opinions. The music I listen makes me who I am.

            Without stress, life would be easy. Unfortunately, stress is omnipresent in our life. In fact, you remember of a day, when you are late in your revisions. When you tried to calm your stress to let you sleeping, you failed. So you tried to read some pages of your book but in vain, your stomach remained tied, and you can not forget your worries. Then, you’re lying on your bed and you started to listen some music. Little by little, you relaxed yourself and a feeling of well-being invaded you.

            In fact, stress is a very old feeling. It was useful when we were nearest to the animal than the modern human. The stress stimulates yourselves and prepares your body to the fight or the leak. But when the disruptor event is past, the sensation of stress is still there. It’s a hormonal question. The hormone of stress, the cortisol, is liberated in your organism. Some scientific made an experience. They face people in a stressful situation. Then, this people listen some music, and it was seen that some particularly harmonious and soothing music are decreasing blood concentration of stress hormone. Then we can say that the proverb  "Music soothes those moving day nerves" is true.

             Then, if you are living a stressful situation, you know how to do to settle down.

             Odezenne (their first name was O2zen) is a french rap band. It's composed of Al' (Alix), Matthias and Jaco (Jacques). Jaco and Al' are rap artist and Matthias composed the music. Why I talk about Odezenne? Because, in connection with my second post, I want you to know that all styles of music are awesome for everyone. Rap is frowned by almost everyone, because the rap is connected to drugs, violence, sex, gangs... But nowadays, rap has changed. We can find multiple kind of rap. That why I talk about Odezenne. Odezenne is a compromise between rap and alternative music or electro. Therefore, the lyrics are more poetics than the "normal" rap. In their new album, they give up their old sample and they created their own instrumental. And that's pretty good! They do a sort of old-fashioned electro look like some Gainsbourg's song. In fact, this band is a sort of soft and smooth rap band.  Their album "Rien" is already a must-have.

So, if one day you want to listening rap but you never heard before, you know how to start.

Why listen to all kind of music is good for health?

Almost everyone have a favorite style of music. Some people like rap, others like electro...
But I think that when we like listening rock, we never listen other kind of music because we have an idea already made about other kind of music. In fact, this feeling is reinforced by the radio. In radio there is only commercial music. It's not always bad music but a kind of music that almost everybody like a bit. But if you search beyond that, you can find a gold mine of songs that will make you crazy. For example, my favorite groups of rock is WU LYF. Who has heard of that groups? Nobody. It's the same sing with the other kind of music. In classical music, everybody knows the canon of Pachelbel, or the spring of Mozart. But it's not their best. Definitely. In our century, Internet is king. It's a huge opportunity to discover all the world of music and all styles. So go on the internet, spend a day on music platform like soundcloud to discover music that you'll like. And you'll see that in fact, you love all kind of music. On the surface, the music is poor, but if you scratch this surface, you'll discover a new world. A world of intense emotion and a lot of different music. And some of them will make you a happier human.
