I've never done this before...ever. I am going to release a song I've written. So enjoy!

Walking around all by myself
Never been this lonely
Tell me where do I go
What do I do
I may be independent but you cant spell that without the word "need"
I'm just looking for answers
But baby you're where everything leads

Its a cold world
But when I see you its like the light came on
Its the difference from morning to night when you are in my life

Its been a crazy experience
But isn't that living
On the edge next to me that's where you belong
I come to you and its like there was never a break because you are my ball of engery
I can feel when you say my name
You alluminate me baby

The world gets warmer when I see you
The light comes on
Its the difference between morning and night
When you stay in my life

Through everything you were the only one
I'd give my heart
Mind
Body
And soul
Just so you know

Everything can be fixed
Just stay and give me the chance
Then man I love is what you see in the mirror
You turned the light on and it'll stay until you return
I'll turn it off when I hear the music
Because I know you'll be mine

Its the difference from morning and night
When you stay in my life.

Power (Classical and Rock)

Music
1.Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. 2. A sound perceived as pleasingly harmonious 3. The written or printed signs representing vocal or instrumental sound. The score or scores of a musical composition or compositions.

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!” 
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

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.

The Rant

I have been having trouble trying to come up with a topic to write about pertaining to music, when in all reality it was hitting me like a bus. Music is a controversial subject on its own good or bad. I realized though a perfect topic to blog about would be the message.

Let me give an example, I was looking at different types of music, one thing that spoke out to is while I was looking was that I came to rock music, and everything it talked about was how rock and roll and different types of rock are associated with sin, sex, drugs, acholol, and objectifying women.

In some cases that is true, but if you take a step back and look at all the music that is mainly what a lot of it is, no matter what the genre is. Examples? Okay.

1. "Hope You Get Lonely Tonight" By Cole Swindell (Country)
This song talks about how he hopes the girl he loves gets lonely so see we call him for some late night drunk sex.  

2. "Bang Bang" By Jessie J (Pop)

This is a song that talks about how people are going to "Bang bang into the room (I know you want it)

Bang bang all over you (I'll let you have it) Wait a minute let me take you there (ah) Wait a minute 'til ya (ah)" Ha! Real appropriate.

3. "Booty Work" By T-Pain (Rap)

Mama you look so professional I'm followin' you sweating you I can't believe I'm doing what I'm doing, what is wrong with my head, go ahead Cause baby I like how you're working it, I'm watching you, you're twerking it I'm trying get you out of this club and get you off in my bed. This is about this guy watching a girls ass the whole time then wanting to get it on with her. 

Granted yes, rock music has that too. However it was very obvious that ALL genres have songs like these it is NOT just the "Rock and Roll" community. Yes, I know the sayings about rock music, but people need to realize it is NOT just that genre.
