inspirational speech
Music should strike fire from the heart of man, and bring tears from the eyes of woman.
~Ludwig Van Beethoven~

You know, I have found that to be so true. There is a song for every occasion. I remember when I was at Ridgeway campus. If my friends needed music for a party or just to listen to something, they would often come to me. I had a great collection.

Over the years I managed to pack my computer, which had a storage capacity of 10 gigabytes at the time, with over 7 gigabytes of music. That was over 2000 songs or 7000 minutes of listening time. You could put the player on shuffle and listen to music for 5 days, 24 hours a day without ever having to hear the same song twice.

Inspirational speech – Music for every occasion

There was music there for every mood I was in.

When I felt like “getting Jiggy with it” I just slammed the volume high on the “Woox” bass system and I was gone. Too bad if my neighbours were studying because I just had to let loose. The good thing was that even if the neighbours came banging on the door for me to turn it down I could not hear them! Nanananananana...nanana

When I was ...uhh... in love... there music to go with it. The music took that intangible and inexpressible feeling of being in love and turned it into words that made sense. And even without words the instruments could express it so clearly. I could just lie down on the bed, stare at the roof and listen.. and I knew:“Love will find a way; Anywhere I go ; I'm home; If you are there beside me.”

Well... it didn’t always find a way. But it did at the right time.
When I was sad I could count on the music. Not so much to cheer me up, but to share the sadness with me. Sometimes you need to wallow in your misery a little and have your pity party. And perhaps even... a good cry. Boys II Men told me to “just hold on”... They said:

“I know you've been going through some things
The pain you hold inside's written on your face
Well, so am I, but I know things

    Music is used to help people of every ethnicity, religion, and lifestyle, cope with different struggles, times of enjoyment, and life itself. But, what is it about music that makes it so therapeutic? It’s the fact that no matter what the genre of music is, it’s what message that artist is putting out into the world. It’s the beat, the tone, and the emotion behind the lyrics is what makes listeners feel the way they do because it speaks on a specific aspect of life and what someone can be going through.…

    All I need to hear is the cheerful melody of a song to get my emotions flowing out of me. I can trace this all back to when I first began to take piano lessons as a child. The melody of the notes always made my head dance from side to side as I played. I got a compact disc player from my parents and compact discs from relatives for my eleventh birthday. I spent many hours listening to every song on every disc and memorized most of the words to each song.…

    It's strange how sad I feel days after Chris Cornell passed away. As if I knew him on a personally level. That's the power of music, the impact it has on our soul, our lives. It's the connection, it's the voice we couldn't find, the comfort we could rely on. Life's reverb, Always a constant, a song for every occasion. Weather it be a dark time when we needed comfort, perspective. It was our friend when friends couldn't be found. But mostly, a celebration when we feel most alive. When we want to turn up, laugh, dance and flat out fucking rock! That's music. Think I know how people felt when Elvis died.…

    Dick Clark once said, ¨Music is the soundtrack of your life.¨ Music is one of the most powerful and influential things in my life. Without the melodies and harmonies of music, my life would feel bland and meaningless. I have a very busy schedule and sometimes it is too easy to lose meaning in my everyday tasks, but with music I am able to keep meaning in my life. I use music to get me through the activities of my everyday life. Whether it is cleaning my room, doing homework, or just relaxing, music makes everything better. I think that music can convey feelings and emotions extraordinarily well. When words cannot do the job, music can. Along with that, I think that music accompanies memories very well also. Going back to Dick Clark’s quote, I think I would be able to make a timeline of my life just using song titles, albums, and…
