What Does Music Mean To You?

Music is the emotional support you receive when you are alone, or simply want to be, or find yourself alone. The feeling of being connected to someone who understands what you are going through emotionally, yet knowing that the person is not really there allows me to connect on an emotional level with the lyrics, the artist vocals, and the beat of the song. My favorite artist is hands down, Lana Del Rey. Her voice is amazing. The beautiful range of her vocals make her music glorious, grand, and create a much more beautiful tone to all of her songs than many other artists. At times I feel like her voice strikes through my soul, and it feels like her voice beats through my body the way my heart pumps blood. My three favorite songs by Lana are Gods and Monsters, Young and Beautiful, and Pretty When I Cry. I have never felt such a personal connection to a person that I do not know, but I have developed a huge devotion to Lana Del Rey that I feed every day by listening to her music. Her music eases me emotionally. It does not make me feel supported, instead, it eases me by giving me the feeling that there is someone who understands what I feel, especially because the lyrics of her songs carry such a sad undertone. In different situations, I can relate to her lyrics.
