In response to Mr.Cheney's music blog post

1) The song I chose was "Price Tag": Jessie J feat B.o.B. This song shows off that you don't need money to be happy, and you need to live to the fullest and most comfortable lifestyle.   

In the song it talks about how people think everything is worth something. Not that everything worth money is a bad thing, but it is hard to live only live off of thinking of money and nothing else. How does anybody stay happy that way anyways? If you only think of money. Would you put a price on your own life if that would be what it takes to obtain some money? No! It's totally not worth it! U wouldn't put a price on  life or your own personal needs! To me, my life and the life of others is priceless. If I bought their existence and life, #1, I would be broke like crazy! and #2, neither me or the life that I bought would be happy. We devote our remaining time and life to others not because we get financial pleasure, but because we WANT to devote our precious time and spend it with them. We specifically want to enjoy our time with others to claim happiness. It tells us that the price for happiness and life is love. That is what the song thinks we should exchange. Since this song shows off that particular feature what is there not to like or discover the international life of it? It expresses that we can't buy EVERYTHING in existence, and some things we can buy with our own time and devotion not to mention expression and bonds that we share. Those are all things that this song says aloud to me.  

2) Music is one of the fine arts that pleases or displeases people in many ways. You can sing religiously or just for fun. Without music we are basically living life without a beat. Also said in the song, music unites people, brings them together and expresses different kinds of bonds. Music also has different generas and there are different forms of music so that you can express your diversity. Some people can play classical music on the Piano, while others play rock music on their Electric Guitar. There are so many ways to enjoy music, it has become an important part of our lives. Without music we'd be incomplete.   

A lot of things would go wrong if we never had music. We would never pass on our messages to others in a way that they would enjoy it, and the diversity and happiness of others just fade away. If you are trying to express a social message about ANYTHING, who would listen to you if you are only talking? Who would share and express your message? Music helps us do that in a not-so-boring way. Music helps us express messages in a positive and exciting way and it spreads and spreads and spreads and spreads, until the whole world knows the message of the song, and it promotes humanity and everyone on earth is happier, more pleasant, and generally just a better person. Music already HAS that social consciousness and obligation to preach some positive messages, and it makes people happy while doing it. Songs like "Who says" By Selena Gomez, "Price Tag" By Jessie J, "Never say Never" By Justin Beiber, and many others promotes happiness and distributes positive vibes all around us, and it inspires us to be better people.   

3) Songs that have inspired me are: Price Tag, Who says, Love Yourself and many other songs. These songs are insperational in there own right, and the promote the positive vibes of others indefinatly. Few people find these songs meaningless, and they simply just sing it for the sake of singing. However, I say that these songs posses some of the key factors that are used to promote the positive vibes and happy feelings towards others. These songs can change the outcome of the mood in the lives of others. If you listen to happy, positive and up-beat songs first thing in the morning you are obviously going to be in a happy and jolly mood. However, if you listen to sad, gloomy and negative songs first thing in the morning you are going to be sad and throw out anger to everyone you meet. It's how our brain works naturally. So if people listen to positive and meaningful songs, they will automatically act that way towards the world. These three songs and many of the same kind promote loving yourself, happiness, unity, enjoying life and showing us that life is priceless and we should cherish it forever more. Each and every song that I have hand picked that has proven that I am inspired from. These songs have always put me in a good mood when I listen to them when I feel upset or moody. So that is the reason why I find these few songs inspirational.
