ROCK MUSIC
In our lives, there are many ways to amuse ourselves; such as, listening to music, watching TV, surfing the internet, playing games, reading a book, or playing some sports. Especially for music, some people like to listen to pop, because it is pleasant to the ears; or rap, because they can dance and follow the musical tune. Moreover, music becomes a part of our spiritual and emotional lives. For me, music, and especially rock music, is more important and is like my best friend in my journey of life. I really love rock music because it helps me express my feelings, learn English and, I like listening to the sound it makes. I cannot imagine how my life would be without rock.
Every single day, I meet a lot of difficult things in my life; such as, a bad day, problems with finance, a break up with a girl friend, or feeling lonely. At that moment, I just want to scream out so the world knows that. But I cannot shout, because I feel shy, or I do not feel motivated to do that. When I started listening to rock music, I found in it, a way to express my feelings and my thoughts. Also, it helps me to relieve the stress of everyday life. Sometimes, I feel I can run away from the troubles that I have. So, when I listen to rock music, I usually scream out or sing louder, and follow the singer. Deep in my mind, I feel rock music wakes me up in the morning, makes me want to shout out when I feel stress in my life, or makes me calm down when I feel upset. Rock music has a huge influence on my behavior and the way I express my feelings.
In addition, I can learn English when I listen to rock music. Every song has music lyrics. Some lyrics have new words or new vocabulary I could not understand before. Furthermore, in most heavy metal and rock music, it is really hard to understand the lyrics, because the music is loud. Therefore, from the music lyrics, I have an opportunity to learn and listen to a new word. I thought it would be a good way for me to study English, because I could combine both listening to music and learning English.
Finally, I used to listen to another kind of music; such as pop, rap, hip-hop or country. When I listen to this music, sometimes I felt bored, or sad, and sometimes it makes me depressed. The main purpose when I listen to music is to find a way to relax, to dump stress, and after that, to get more energy to continue in my life. Like most people, I started out listening to rock music and spent almost my entire free time listening to that kind of music. The sound it makes is very loud, the melody is different than other kinds, and it makes me very excited. When I have some problems, or when I have a terrible day, listening to rock music makes me feel better and more powerful in my life. I feel I have a protector in the music, and that I forget all my troubles or problems in real life.
To sum it up, listening to rock music helps me express my feelings, learn English and relax. Rock music makes me feel good inside, even when I get hurt, or have an obstacle in life. It fills me up with good emotions and motivation in my life.
