Power (Classical and Rock)

That is the definition of “Music” but is that the true definition? Is that truly what “Music” means? What is the message? What does it mean? How are people affected? What is the power of music?

“Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do here!”

To start with let's think about genre's when you look at music depending on the genre you can usually start from there.

Classical music -serious or conventional music following long-established principles rather than a folk, jazz, or popular tradition. That is the stereo typical definition to most people, but is that really what it is? When I am in a certain indescribable mood, it is the only music I can listen to that justifies my thoughts. How? I don't know but it does. Classical music has the power unlike other music to know what you need and help you think. Even though it may sound stupid, next time you need to think turn on some classical music. Feel what I mean.

Rock- a form of popular music that evolved from rock and roll and pop music during the mid- and late 1960s. Harsher and often self-consciously more serious than its predecessors, it was initially characterized by musical experimentation and drug-related or anti-Establishment lyrics. Do you think that is a very accurate definition? No it isn’t. Not just looking at the new age music itself, look at the history. Look at everything the power of Rock Music has done, how many people is has brought together. (Side Note: If you have not seen Rock Of Ages I definitely recommend it. You will really grasp what I am saying). Rock music isn’t a sin, I hope you know that. When I tell you to listen to rock music, do it. It’ll be very beneficial.
