Lifelovemusic pt.1 - music

This is the name of a clothing company, actually. Started by former Skillet guitarist Ben Kasica. I have some of their shirts. However, I am not talking about the clothing line. I'm talking about three simple words, and I want to start off with the smallest of these words in a three-part mini-series (ooooh, how exciting!).

So. Music. What is it? Has the definition of music changed throughout the years? I would like to assume it has. I define music as a combination of sounds that is made to please or entertain or tell a story. I know its kind of broad, but really, its my definition. Get over it. Music, however, is power. It is one of the most compelling influences to date. Vladimir Lenin, you all remember him from history class, was quoted as saying 'Music is the quickest way to destroy a generation.' When I first saw that quote, I was interested, but it has taken on a whole new meaning for me. I now think, 'has my generation been destroyed by its music?' And unfortunately I would have to say yes. So many problems in society or reflected from the music people listen to. It affects how you feel, what you think, how you behave. It is the one thing that can bring you to tears and then lift you up. It is the strangest part of life, that music is just noise. Noise created for a purpose. To tell a story. What you put in your head will come out one way or another, so that's why I choose (mostly) to listen to clean music. I don't judge people that don't, its just my personal choice. Anyways, I will post more on this later. Bedtime.
