Introduction; Who can say that they do not have an interest in music? Who can argue that music hasn’t affected them, in one time in their lives? If anyone can say that music has not affected them, then can someone answer the question of why are there first dances at weddings? Why do we have favourite songs that we class as ‘ours’? I’ve chosen to focus on Music for this presentation, because not only is it something that’s involved in my life daily, it’s something that can relate to a lot of people, if not everyone in the world.

Escapism in Music I Began To Believe From A Very Young Age That A Problem Shared Was A Problem Halved, At Least. But When There Was Nobody To Share With, I Turned To Pen And Paper. My Problems Became Euphemisms In My Poems, Which Later Became Lyrics. Instead Of Feeling Engrossed And Melancholy From Reading My Problems On Paper, Because I Had Euphemised Them Subconsciously, I Felt Pride And Relief Oozing Out Of Me Instead. This Figure Of ‘Nobody’ That I Had To Share My Problems With, Became An Entity Of A Whole Separate World, That Was Clear And Defined By Me. It’s A World I Admire And Look Up To, To This Very Day. How Does This Link To My Interest In Music? I Believe That Music Influenced Me In Writing From The Very Beginning. To Be Aware Of How To Write Such Things As Poems Or Lyrics, I Personally Believe An Understanding Of Rhythm Is Required. Music Was Always Present In My Mind, Just Not One Set Genre. That’s Where Writing Songs Came Into The Equation. ZOPAUDIOS.COM

Religion & Culture My Religion Plays A Part In The Music I Choose To Listen To. It’s Influenced Me From Such A Young Age, However I Class Myself As A British-asian. I Will Put The ‘British’ At The Forefront, So My Views On Certain Asian Things Are Blurry Whereas For Certain Members Of My Family, E.G. Grandparents, It’s Not. ZOPAUDIOS.COM

My Lyrics The lyrics I write are euphemisms for daily negatives, and exaggerations of daily highs. Music is so important to me, because with it, I can give my lyrics a rhythm, and it’s a way to feed my creativity. Many of the songs I have written have upbeat temps, contradicting their meaning. I indulge in making my lyrics the most meaningful, such as most of the Western music lyrics’ are, however, with my influence of Indian music from my cultural background, I always try and put a contagious rhythm to the tune.

It’s Personal If I was to pick an aspect of myself that was as important for a stranger to know and understand as say, my beliefs, then that would be my admiration towards the wonder of Music, as a whole. I feel that by writing songs, I am idolising and prioritising something that I love. My previous ‘Statistics’ slide, shows that many people have the same passion towards Music. Although the amount of exposure to Music, the statistics state, could be harmful, these ‘kids’ may feel as though by listening to music, they are actively acknowledging it and openly admiring it, as I do when I write songs.

Cultural Representation I Personally Believe That Writing Songs Puts My ‘Identity’, And How I Come Across To People, In A Different Hierarchy, Than Say To Someone Who Didn’t Know I Was Fond Of Writing Songs. My Theory Is That A Performer, For Example, May Not Be Entirely Appreciated, As There Are So Many Around, Of A Certain Age Group, Performing The Same Material, But A Song- writer, Or Composer May Be More Valued As They Aren’t As Common. This Can Lead Onto High Culture And Low Culture. A Performer, In This Case Would Be Classed As Low Culture, Whereas A Song-writer Or Composer Would Be Classed As High Culture, In My Eyes, Simply Because Of Accessibility. Using That Theory Of Mine, I’ve Come To The Conclusion That The Music And Writing I Am Capable Of Producing, Although It Is A Creative, Not-so Common Talent, Places Me In A Low Culture Field. I Feel This Because, My Music Steers Towards An Indie/Pop Fashion, Which Can Link To Socialisation, As Most Of My Peers Enjoy Listening To That Genre Of Music. ZOPAUDIOS.COM
