How Music Affected My Life

Speaking on a personal level in terms of music, I believe that people and music have an extraordinary, dependent bond. Therefore, neither can truly exist beyond the conventional confines of life without the other. Based on my personal belief, music has significantly affected my life in a positive and powerful way. Among the numerous songs I have listened to, the following three songs have had the most significant impact on my life: “Calm The Storm” by Graffiti6, “Kyoto” by Yung Lean and “Deja Vu” by Twenty88. Each of these songs, in their own unique way, has left an eternal impression on my life in one way or another.
Personally, these three songs have connected themselves to a moment in time where I was unbelievably happy. “Calm The Storm,” in particular, holds a special place in my heart
My dream of owning my own business at one point seemed unattainable and nearly impossible to accomplish. Without question, music has been a big part of steering my life, and in particular the rap song “Kyoto” has had a major impact on my life. It has channeled my vision from fear and doubt into confidence and determination in all my personal endeavors. When Yung Lean’s chorus plays, “Do me, I'mma do me. I'mma make her mine, I'mma make her mine...I grind, I grind,”2 I interpret it in a certain way. First, I believe to achieve the goals I have set for myself (making her mine), I need be confident and persistent (Do me, I’mma do me) in all of my endeavors, even if the outcome is almost always failure (I grind, I grind). As the chorus closes out, the lyric “I got an empire state of mind,”3 is sung. I will always remember the exact moment where my volition and confidence was affected in positive way by this verse. I first heard the song while completing the writing section of Florida State University's admission
