Explanation / Answer

Music can be basically called a ‘Celebration’. Whenever people come together, there would be some music, especially in the contemporary World. Be it a marriage, Saturday night party, a home party or sometimes just to beat the loneliness. If we just peek into the definition of the word Music, we get to know that it’s a pleasant sound that leads us to experience harmony and higher happiness. Music tends to connect us with our inner self(soul) and while we listen to a relaxing music, we tend to travel inwards.

When it comes to the role of music in my life, I would describe it’s a part and parcel of my life. The only time I would not listen to some music is the time I am at work. Sometimes, even at work when it is a work to be done in the system and where my attention is not required, I would just skip into some melodies and start working simultaneously. Believe it or not, it boosts my energy. It makes me forget for what I was regretting the past some time. It creates a sense of belonging. It creates a sense of love around you same as how I feel when am with my mom. No achievement in this world is as great as the emotional uplifting we get from music. In fact, my day starts with music and ends with music. My alarm tone is my favorite song, so I must get up with the music. The time I get ready for work, I listen to music. The time I travel, I listen to music. The time I climb the stairs, I listen to music. The time I do the workout, I listen to music. The time I walk back home, I listen to music. The time I wash my clothes, I listen to music. The time I cook my food, I listen to music. So, such is the importance of music in my life.

My personal favorite song is:

Oh love of mine
With a song and a wine
You're harsh and divine
Like truths and a lie

But the tale end is not here
I've nothing to fear
For my love is yell of giving and hold on

And the bright emptiness
In a room full of it
Is the cruel mistress Who... ho... o...

I feel this unrest
That nest all hollowness
For I have nowhere to go in the cold

And I feel so lonely yeah
There's a better place than this
Emptiness...
And I'm so lonely yeah...
There's a better please than this
Emptiness... Yei ye

This song would always make me travel to my inner self and every time I listen to this, there’s a sense of emotion coming up in the form of tears.
