Music is essential

Music is essential. Just like that.
For example, have you ever watched a movie in mute? It’s horrible, I know it firsthand because I have to travel almost every week to Curico (my hometown) and inside the bus there is always a movie been played, and there aren’t headphones available so you have to watch it without any sound, but you can read the subtitles (so you can understand what it is happening). Music makes every emotion, sensation and situation more intense. Like when I’m happy I just want to hear “cumbia” or hard rock and when I’m sad I just want to hear grunge or blues.

The band that I’m listening now and that I’m obsessed about is Alice in Chains, a band originally formed in the late 80’s in Seattle. I heard this band when I was fifteen years old and I just loved it, we met up again a couple of months ago, because they got a new album out, It’s called “Black gives way to blue” and I just can’t stop hearing it.

I used to play the piano, in fact I was in a band and I played the keyboards, it was a metal band called “Elodia” and my friends were in that band so it was a lot of fun, but unfortunately it’s over, but we have great memories of those days.

I don’t know if Music is really essential, I mean I don’t know if we (as a society) couldn’t live without it, but what I know is that is essential for me.
