Music is a calling, not everybody can walk in that path successfully some are gifted in that line and some acquired it through training and inspiration, putting different sounds together to form a Melody may appear simple after all the jobs are done and the music produced and all we have to do is to listen to it and enjoy but ask about how many hours, weeks, months of hard-work it takes you will be surprised and agree with me that it takes passion to compose a song some even go sleepless night to achieve it.
Music is a world on it own with different segment, some people go a long way as been rejected by families just to take up this passion because their parent want something different and don't believe in that line. Up till now alot of people have not know the full power and potential of music, music has the power to transform one's life and cool down the spirit, relief stress, give happiness and a sense of joy and hope, music is a therapy that can solve alot of problem but many are yet to discover it and put it into use.
When we are face with a difficult situation that confused us and we don't know how to go about it, listening to music can help us find inspiration on how to deal with it, the importance of music cannot be ignore in the life of children and adults I remember I learnt how to read 123, abc, state and capital, days and month of the year with the help of music.
I never know the power of music until early last year when I was face with a difficult situation which nearly run me into depression and feeling of hopelessness but anytime those harmful thought run through my mind and I listened to music I feel this relieve in my spirit and sometimes I even fall asleep in the process. Since then I have hold music in high esteem.
Growing up I was made to believe music is not for me even though I love it with passion and I even join the children church choir in my church even when my dad says no. Anytime I sing in public people made gist of me which always made me sad and cry through out the night. with those experience I lost my zeal for it and believe music is not important and i can do without it but last year, I know music is important like the food we eat and the world will be empty, boring without it and alot of people will enter frustration easily.
This morning I was going through some communities on hive when I located this community click on it and saw this contest, I said to myself Adedoyin give it a try am happy for the moderator of this contest, music is something I like very much and I always wish I have the gift and talent to sing.
