Music is Life

“I was born with music inside of me. Music was one of my parts. Like my ribs, my kidney, my liver, my heart. Like my blood. It was already a force within me when I arrived on the scene. It was a necessity for me-like food or water.” Ray Charles

I absolutely love this quote. I feel as though he was in my mind when he said it, because it explains exactly how I feel about music. I would not be able to live without music. Music is my life. I know this will sound nerdy and cheesy, but if you ever ask me to hang out some time, I’ll probably be busy. Doing what, you ask? It could range to anything from marching practice, to a football game halftime show, to a LMEA festival. All three of those things have one thing in common-Music. I dedicate my everything to band, and don’t regret any of it. A band nerd, maybe, but who cares? Music runs through my veins. It is always on my mind, and I could talk about it for hours on end. Could you imagine a life without a single drop of music? Think about how boring your favorite action movie would be without music. Music is all around us. It has influenced a lot of our cultures and is another way to express one’s feelings. Music is life.
