Hey Mr. DJ, Put a Record On!

I simply cannot picture life without music. That is, the happy part of life. Music unites different people together and creates joy. A simple fun rhythm can brighten your day and lift your spirits. I personally love music. I can’t spend one day without listening to a song, and I don’t think we technically can go through one day without hearing some kind of music. Whether it is on the radio, on television, in someone else’s car, music is a part of our daily lives. Ever since I was a little girl, I would always sing and make up my own songs. At 17, I started writing my own lyrics, and creating melodies for them. I have taken piano and vocal lessons, and have been in choir, thus infusing my passion for music. I love singing, and I believe that you don’t need to sound like Whitney Houston to be able to sing from the soul. Music, for me, is like an emotion. Can you imagine a birthday party without music, or a romantic dinner without some soothing music in the background? Music helps us express our emotions, and it brings out the light in all of us. Sure, some songs are sad and can bring out our sorrows, but without those songs, how can we relate to the tough times that all of us have been through? Music expresses love, it conveys the feeling of happiness, and even promotes good health by making us sweat from dancing, and enriching our minds with classical music! Yes, music is like therapy. I personally listen to all kinds of music, but I especially enjoy listening to Russian, Armenian, and English songs. Some of my favorite singers are: Alla Pugacheva (Russian), Sogdiana (Russian), Natasha Koroleva (Russian), Sirusho (Armenian), Hasmik Karapetyan (Armenian), Aram Asatryan (Armenian), Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, and Britney Spears. Yes, Britney, because she has awesome songs to dance to! I believe the singer doesn’t need to be super talented or have a power house voice to be able to bring out emotion from the listener. A good beat is good enough! I loooove music…and hopefully so does everyone else!!!!
