Music and the Reasons I Love It

I find it absolutely remarkable that music itself is completely controversial. Anyone can write a song, someone can perform it, and another can cover it. These are truly the reasons I love music and all of its components that come with it. Now I am a fan of all kinds of music, anything really. I can listen to any music genre and fall in love with it instantly. But it's not exactly the same for songs. Some songs I honestly cannot stand, either the bass is too much for me or the beats are just too techno but then another person can come along, cover the song and it sounds completely different and utterly amazing.

Take this for example...

I was just doing my usual boredom routine, searching youtube. And I start watching this commercial, the background music sounds familiar, but it's only piano. Then it hits me like a ton of bricks, Somebody To Love by Justin Bieber. First of all I like JB just as much as the next girl but this song in particular wasn't one of my absolute favorites. When I came upon this, however, I fell in love. The piano just lit up my heart and awoke my inner spirits. Okay, a bit of an exaggeration but you get the picture. So I type into the search bar, "somebody to love piano" and I click on the first decent link I can find. When I click on it, it seems to sound exactly what I was hoping to find. While listening this guy starts to get closer into the picture. I figure the camera just needs to change angles. No, he's about to sing. I honestly was not expecting anything great to be totally honest, just an amature trying to create a pop song into a nice ballad. Those can kill you if you don't perform them just right. He starts to sing. My jaw literally drops. It sounded absolutely amazing. It was so beautiful and lovely I had to tell someone about this. So I did what any teenager would do, post it on facebook. I made it my status, said how amazing it was, and listened on repeat. If you don't believe me, just listen for yourself. :)
