The first music I listened to was from my mother. When I was a baby, my mother often sang songs to lull me to sleep. I can not remember which songs she sang, but I still can remember the feelings when I heard them. Her voice was soft, and the melodies were slow and lovely. My first turning point happened when I was 11 years old. My father and mother broke up, and I began to live with my father. We moved to another city and continued our new life. Everyday my father was busy with his work. We could only see each other at dinner time. Most of the time, I was alone at home. At that time, I felt very lonely and I didn’t know what to do until I started to listen to the radio. I followed the DJs and began to contact music. After a period of time, I received many kinds of music and chose the styles I liked, and then I fell in love with music.


As music became my path friend,I did nearly everything with it, including walking, sleeping and even studying. I was crazy about music. In my mind, each piece of music was a story that the singer wanted to tell. So listening to music was the same as listening to stories. These stories contained nearly everything in the world, such as love, war, the reality of society, people’s mind and so on. Through listening to music, I can know things that happened in the world. Different kinds of music also contributed to different effects. Smooth music made me feel calm and comfortable. Whenever I felt life was going too fast for me and I was tired of hustling, I liked to use this music to slow myself a little bit. Fast music made me excited. Sometimes when I felt sadness or failure, I would choose it to improve my passion and keep a good mood. The contents of songs played a crucial part to change my mood as well. Some songs told me a moving love story, and made me expect love; some encouraged me to overcome failure, and brought me self-confidence and faith; some gave me passion, and made me love and cherish my life.


Nowadays I can hear music everywhere, involving advertisements, teleplays, movies, cell phones and even alarm clocks, and my belief is that music is becoming stronger and stronger. I believe music has the magic to change the whole world. I can not image what the world would be like if there was no music in the world. This is the significance what music brings to me, and this is why I believe in music.
