Music: The Stress or The Reliever?!?

Being a music major can sometimes become very stressful. We have to take so many classes that pertain to music it can sometimes drive us a little crazy. However, we must not forget to stop and remember why we started playing our instrument or or started singing. We do it because we love it and other musicians in our favorite bands inspired us to start. Here are some examples of my current favorite songs by some of my favorite artists.

Here is the song All the Right Moves by a group called One Republic. I love this song, mostly because I think the music video is awesome, but the lyrics are kind of relieving.

Another song I love is called If I had you by Adam Lambert. It's more of a party song and I find it rather uplifting when I 'm stressed out.

One of my all time favorite songs is called Just the Way You Are by Bruno Mars. It's wonderful and every girl in the world should be told this at some point in her life. I makes me happy.

 Another two of my favorite songs are from Phantom of the Opera.  Basically almost every song from Phantom of the Opera I love, but these two are my favorite. They make my soul sing!!

We must never forget that just because sometimes the music looks hard and can frustrate us doesn't mean we have to give up and let the stress win. If you feel like giving up, just listen to your favorite song.
