One had the future wife in the audience and didn’t even know, another feeling alone in the world, another went to a cruise.
October 1. World Music Day turns 50. It began to be marked precisely half a century ago in 1975.
It was an initiative of violinist and conductor Lord Yehudi Menuhin, to promote music in all sectors of society.
World Music Day also follows UNESCO’s ideals: solidarity and peace among peoples; Encouraging the exchange of aesthetic experiences and values.
Out of curiosity, we went to peek at a (revealing) page about this topic: How has your music changed your life?
There are interesting answers in this corner of.
The first is perhaps the most expected: the amor. One user says he had his band on stage, at a concert, and one of the people in the audience was… his future wife. They met that day on the day of the concert.
Another recalls his teenage days and emphasizes the difference that music made in his life: at age 15 feel alone And angry, but he felt that he belonged to a community, a sense of belonging, when he began to listen to metal music. It was with the music metal that it felt that it was not an abandoned alien. It was a “healthy way to channel these sensations.”
Jacplash has a slightly longer sharing. I was very fond of listening to music, but never Jimmy Buffett. It was “garbage”. However, when they started asking their band so many songs from Buffett, went to research, went to listen more. He discovered some gems that touched him. First, it became its moment of relaxation, of therapy. But later, He said goodbye. He left his job and went to a cruise in the Caribbean – because he had heard Jimmy Buffett singing about sites that Jac didn’t know. And there it was, alone, for the first time.
Among other shares, we left a short but strong: “Music helped me end up with thoughts suicidal ”.
