Every important moment in our life, whether it is marked by joy or sadness, is marked by a song or piece of music. Over the years, every time we hear this piece, we are automatically flooded with memories and sometimes smells, and this doesn't stop happening from the very first years of our lives. We thus connect people, events and images with different pieces which either unintentionally or voluntarily we often bring to mind.
Music is the set of sounds that make up a piece of music. It comes from the Muses, who were patrons of this and other arts. The Muses were nine in total, daughters of Zeus and Memory (does this explain why we never forget our favorite melodies?) and in detail they protected: Calliope epic poetry, Cleo history, Euterpe lyric poetry, Thalia the comedy, Melpomene the tragedy, Terpsichore the dance, Erato the lyric poetry, Polymnia the sacred poetry and Ourania the astronomy.
Since ancient times, music has been our companion in everything we experience. The "carpet" of all our emotions, dreams and journeys we take. An integral part of the daily life of many people and a pleasant break in the daily life of even several animals. It often works as a helpful method of healing, relieving and recovering from a number of internal psychological traumas and pathological diseases. Through this we gain knowledge about tradition, history and life in a wider context over the centuries. An excellent example is the traditional songs of each country, hip hop and jazz. In this way, all of the above are preserved over the centuries and passed down from generation to generation.
Most of us humans cannot imagine our lives without the great contribution of music to it. Without the lyrics that fit harmoniously with our psychological state every time and click exactly as if we wrote them, as if this composition pre-existed within us. All this marriage of instruments and/or voices becomes characteristic and in many cases is a trademark, framing from movies to entire periods of our lives. Who could imagine weddings without this art? What divorcee has not turned to her for comfort or even the joy of redemption/release? Either way, music is celebrated every day. Worldwide. All over the universe. It is inextricably linked to both the human species and the whole of nature. For some it is a separate science. For others it is simply their life and the way they express themselves through it. Its contribution, importance and importance are maximum.
I don't know if most songs are written, as they say, in difficult times. I want to believe, however, that they dream of the happiest.
