Music Is Meant To Unite Us
Music is not supposed to be about
competition at all! Yes, in today's society, competition exists in every
industry resulting in the industry only taking in the best but music is
supposed to be about so much more. Music is itself unity. Music is able to activate
the entire brain at one time meaning it is uniting the brain as one. Music has
the power to quiet thoughts, and focus your spirit and soul into one direction.
It does this because it's trying to communicate something; something that can
only be understood when one's entire essence is focused into one view.
The number one thing I have
always hated about the amateur music world from my experience was watching one
performer perform in front of another.
Instead of supporting each other,
working together or gathering inspiration from each other, they tend to compete
with each other.
As soon as one amateur musician
watches another perform he or she instantly compares him or herself to the
other. The musician takes notes on how much better or worse he or she is
compared the performer and then walks away with whatever self-esteem he or she
has left after all this.
As soon as the performer begins
playing, the spectator instantly begins to take notes. How much better of a
guitar player is this person than me? How much better of a performer is this
person than me? How much better is this person's voice than mine? How much more
creative is this person's original music compared to mine?
Notice a pattern with these
questions? All the questions are about comparing the performer to the
spectator!
Amateur musicians will base their
entire career on this fact, "If I'm not better than this person, then I
don't have a chance to make it into the industry compared to this person".
This is exactly what I hate most
about the music world; comparisons!

Only when one's entire essence is
focused can music communicate its magical language. Music is trying to share
with us an incredible secret; the secret of unity!
Music is meant to unite us! When
we each listen to the same music, we will each feel and understand its single
message, whatever the writer was originally trying to express.
By listening to a writer's music,
you become one with them because you feel the same things the writer felt as he
or she wrote the song; you're becoming one with the writer!
This is a beautiful thing, and
like all beautiful things, our world has found a way to make it ugly.
These days, all musicians seem to
do is compare each other even though they should understand the unity of music
better than anyone! They base their entire worth under the comparison of
another and if the stats don't meet up, then they label themselves worthless.
Can't you see? It's not about
who's the best or better. No musician is better than another. We each have a
different story to tell and a different way of telling it. Sometimes the
message comes out stronger from some musicians than others but really that
depends on how much stronger that musician feels about whatever topic he or
she's performing about. After all, it's only natural for a stronger expression
to be felt deeper.
Anyway, the point is if musicians
truly love music as much as they say they do and express it from the bottom of
their heart, then no one is better because if someone was, that would be saying
they are a better person all together. No one is better, just different. Music
is not meant to separate the bad from the good, it's meant to unite everyone to
one understanding; the understanding of the writer. Everyone has a different
story to tell and if that story is told full-heartilyArticle Submission, that
that story is as beautiful as any other.
