Music has always
played a significant role in human activities, and, throughout the history of
humanity, it has been used to encourage people to perform religious, social or
political activities. An illustrative example is that every country has a
national anthem that unites and identifies the members of that society.
But music has also
been used to satisfy individual needs, and I think that this is the most common
use. In my case, I have a personal preference for John Lennon because I think he
represents an epoch and has made a unique contribution to help humanity and to make the world a better place. Two of my farvorite
songs are Imagine and Woman. I always remember the first time I listened to
them and how they made me feel moved by their messages of love, peace and
solidarity.
Listening to music
also has a psychological effect,that affects your mood and makes you feel
happier or more energetic. In my case, I listen to music when I need to relax or when
I feel nostalgic and want to connect with people I love by listening to the music
that reminds me of the moments we lived together. Now I mostly connect to my
children and grandchildren through the
modern songs we have shared. Music helps us bridge the generation gap.

Thanks for your encouraging comments. They make me feel satisfied because you have understood my message. Music makes the world a better place with its powerful capacity to unity humanity and help people express their feelings. Also music is a powerful tool to learn languages. I have improved my knowledge of French and Portuguese through music.
