A life full of music

Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Oasis etc. They are the bands that really got me in to music. That was when I was 8 or 9 years old. My dad decided he wanted to start playing the guitar and started listening to all of these bands and I didn't have an iPod then so I was forced to listen to them in the car and I started to really like the music. I am 16 now and I still listen to those bands everyday along with a load of other bands and artists. An artist I have been really liking ever since her album Born to die was advertised on the TV is Lana Del Rey. I remember when I first heard Born to die, It was winter of 2011 and I was sat on my bed and I heard a bit of the song on the advert and fell in love with the song. I bought the album on iTunes and listened to it over and over. I still do, along with her other album, or extended album Paradise.

Music is a big part of my life as blogging is. I love to write articles and listen to music. I find that music is a big part of everybody's life, it can vary, people like different genre's such as Classical, Classic Rock, Pop, Rap, R&B, the list goes on. I have been finding myself listening to a bit of classical lately, particularly Gothic pieces and Victorian period pieces. I just really love it. I take my iPod everywhere. 

I also find that music is a way of bonding with somebody. I find myself meeting new people and asking what music they like, as I did only this week with a girl I met at college enrolment day. Turns out we like the same music. I do think music is a big part of society and people turn to song lyrics as a way of listening to how they feel. Songwriting is a form of poetry, it's a form of art. 

Music has changed a lot through time, it always will but the older things are never forgotten. They are the foundations for music. Some music I like has a form of orchestration involved such as Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds which I am very fond of.

Music will never die out, it's always around and it will stay that way till the end of time.

Friedrich Nietzsche once said 'Without music, life would be a mistake'

A backwards society

Today's society, is, well it's pretty disgusting. The way society judges people is disgusting. Once one person starts to judge, the rest follow until everybody in society is judging that one person, and that one person, well, they commit suicide.

Why does it need to be this way. It doesn't really though, does it. People just judge somebody without really getting to know them. It's easy to pass a judgement but it isn't easy to have a suicide you caused on your conscience is it. You may say that the one comment you make doesn't stop the breath they take but that one comment could be the hands that push them off that bridge or put those tablets in their mouth. You never know how they feel because you don't think about what you say.

People I know have been bullied and feel like that they are worth less than other people but that is very untrue but of course, they don't believe that. That is part of the problem. You are brought up in society but then years later, they wait until you've turned your back, ready to stick the knife in, one of many.

It's really getting out of hand and what infuriates me the most is when people call me names and my friends. Why do people have to be so revolting ? I don't know the answer to that either. Maybe you can tell me. We've had quite a lot of suicides due to bullying such as the young girl who was bullied on Ask Fm. 

I just hope that the bullies think before they speak and realise the effect they have on other people and that they don't end up with death on their conscience.

Justice or no Justice, that is the question.

Last year, I did my work experience at a Magistrate Court and it was really interesting to see what kind of crimes were taking place and how they were dealt with. They allowed to us to take notes but they could not be too detailed as the information was confidential. I got to thinking about the justice system and how things are dealt with and it turns out, not very well.

I was watching a programme before on police here in England, they had gone to search their house and found loads of weapons but they hadn't found the one they were originally searching for so they got a caution. What does that say to them, that they can get away with having a few weapons. Our justice system is all wrong. Murderers are only getting 4 years but the teacher who ran away with his student gets a lot more than that, it truly is backwards.

It is very worrying to know things like this because you really do start to wonder, who do the justice system really protect ?

This is something that needs changing but I don't think it will be changed anytime soon as other things take over which is a problem. I don't believe that I am the only person who shares this opinion, however some people seem to think the same opinions but never bother to bring them to attention so the justice system and the government just believe that we will go along with anything.
