Music

Express yourself through music. Why? Its because sometimes only music can send messages that words can't. Sometimes only through music that someone can express the way they truly feel. I'm talking about great music. Great music are the ones that were written with passion. Great songs doesn't always mean meaningful lyrics. Think of the ever popular instrumental song Cannon by Johann Pachelbel. Do you know when it was written? Let me tell you. 1680!

Yup thats right, the year sixteen eighty. 300 years have passed and we are still listening to it. Though many other arrangement have been made.

Think of Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin. Some think of it as the best song ever written. It is so popular that some even said that the Devil himself was the one who wrote it. They said that when you play it backwards, you'll hear hidden messages from satan.
Think about that for a second.

Here's a video about pachelbel's cannon.




If you have not finish watching the video. Stop reading and continue watching. :)

O.K. Done?

Cool right? The SAME chords! Many of the current hit songs have been using the SAME chords as Pachelbel's Cannon. Written 300 years ago!

See how Johann Pachelbel has been communicating with us all this years. He even helps our new up and coming artists with their song writing.

Here is the reverse version for Stairway to Heaven.




Scary? Right?

In conclusion, music can brings happiness, joy, sadness, fear and all kinds of emotions to the listener. It gives the listeners the chance to share their feelings. In other words, music is another great tool for communication.
