Music and writing
2. I do not know if I have ONE favorite song. However, I really like “Piano Man” by Billy Joel. It has amazing music, and the lyrics are very thoughtful and longer and more creative than the ones of other artists. It evokes a melancholic mood while projecting a very specific image in my head. It is not connected to something specific in my life, but I love to listen to it.
3. My taste of music changed very much during my life. Since the beginning of my life I was never greatly into music, and still at the age of 10 I hardly could name any songs, except some from my childhood or the ones me and my brother listened to located on a party CD of my parents. When I finally started, it was Oldies that interested me at most. They also had the advantage that I could understand the texts, since most songs in Germany are in English. Around 8th grade I finally completely changed my taste for music. It went now straight to party music and modern songs. Rock songs from bands such as Green Day and Linking Park were included, too. This stayed until the last summer. Now I am more into older songs like the ones from The Beatles.
7. Without music, my life would be probably on the first view not greatly different. I am not one of the persons, who say music is their life. Though, life would lose a lot of its color, because I am listening to music almost every day, and it sometimes helps me to get in a better mood.
12. Music can add a mood to a movie or show, because sometimes to pre-story is given. Therefore the first tones help the viewer to evaluate and understand if what they see is something funny or serious. Another reason is the distance between a TV and the viewer. Everybody who watches something is aware of the fact that this is not real or if it is real that it is not them who are hurt in that shown part. Therefore, there is a gap between the feelings that should be created and the feelings that are created. Music can help at this point to narrow this gap.
15. I am a really bad singer and not able to play any instrument. Therefore the dream, to become a professional singer or musician is more an illusion than something to expect. However, I could imagine it would be really fun to be one and have the ability to play and write music by your own.
