It was so rightly said by Thomas Carlyle that’Music is the speech of angels, in fact, nothing among the utterances allowed to man is felt so divine.’ The world today is very hi-tech, where everybody is in a haste, everybody is busy and there is no time to relax. Todays busy professionals are so chained to their 24*7 schedules that don’t have a single minute to spare. For us students too, the day quite hectic. In such a condition, when you need a break from your boisterous routine, music is the solution. Red Auerback once said that’Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life’. Listening to music takes you to a totally different world. It gives you a few carefree moments of peace and relaxation may it be classical music or pop music or any other type of music.
A well-known doctor, Monica Matys clearly observed that’music for the brain could be a stress buster’. The benefits of music therapy are not new. From ancient times through the present, philosophers, historians and scientists have written and spoken of music as a therapeutic agent.
Jazz, pop, rock, hip-hop, R&B, classical, country - music has so many genres. It is up to you to take your pick. A few people prefer listening to soft and slow tunes by’Lata Mangeshkar’ but some prefer the loud rock tones of’Linkin Park’. I adore the rhythmic hip-hop music by’Blue’. Everybody has a different taste of music but the wonderful effect that music creates is the same.
Without music, life is a journey through a desert. So, the next time you are bored or tired just lay back on the sofa and put your favorite music as’music is the vernacular of the human soul’.
