Music

    In this class, music has been a big theme. It seems like music can be related to almost anything. I'm a huge fan of country music, and I don't know what I would do without it. There are so many songs that I can relate to, and you grow to have a personal connection with some of them. This just shows how great the power of music is.

    I've often found it interesting how you learn something random one day, and then suddenly it is relevant. For example, this happened alot in high school. I would learn a random fact that I thought would never be useful and then later that night it would be a question on jeopardy. This happened multiple times and each time I was just as amazed. I've noticed that something similar happens with music. When I'm feeling in a certain mood, I turn on the radio and somehow the radio seems to know exactly what i'm going through and is playing the perfect song. Sometimes when I'm sad and I turn the radio on, I have to change the channel because the song playing just makes it worse. I guess like Ovid knowing that I would be in this class in 2013, the radio knows what I'm going through in my life each moment.

    Its also interesting how there is no such thing as originality, and surely every note of music has been played before, yet people keep on making more music. Its all about your unique interpretation of the music I guess. Overall, music seems to be a force so strong that it unites people. Everyone can relate to a certain song and put their own spin on the lyrics to make it personal to them, just like you can make nearly every Ovid story personal to you.
