Why Music Plays Such a Huge Role in Everything

September 22, 2018

Music is social glue. It transcends differences, ethnicities and belligerences and ultimately brings people together. Yet, why is this case – nobody knows. For some ill-defined reason, our brains crave music, and that is a fact. There are a few exceptions where, as it turns out, some individuals do not enjoy listening to music, and that is an interesting trend and one that we ought to note down.  Yet, for the most part, people are actually quite pleased with the music and they do crave it! This brings the question – can you imagine a world without music? Probably not. Music is present in every aspect of our lives today. Just think about it.  You have music in the lobby of a hotel and even elevator, at the workplace and at home, at trade centres, expos, and theatres. Music is pouring out of every corner of civilization and it permeates what we know about society. It’s a great experience and an ultimate unifier, and this is exciting! Here are some of the areas where music has been able to reach and completely change the way we perceive the world.

Movies

Ask yourself and tell us – can you imagine your favourite movie without the unique scores and well-timed music effects that make that one scene so much better? The answer is you definitely can’t. Music is just another sense that adds to the satisfaction you get leaving the movie theatre or watching a movie at home.  And, for the most part, if movies do not have music, they would never make quite the mark they have been with modern audiences. Music is the soul of every great movie and if you want your flick to succeed as a director, you certainly want to have

Video Games

Music is not just in movies, it’s in video games, too. In fact, the complicated scores that you have seen in your favourite games are written by actual orchestras and composers, which add so much more value when you come to think about it.  Video games come to life thanks to music and this is an undeniable fact. If you are truly interested in video games, you will then appreciate the added benefit a music theme adds to the entire experience.

everything is music

From the moment you enter the game through the cinematic intro to the small tunes playing in the background to make the experience even more immersive and ultimately rewarding – it’s definitely worthwhile to have music in your video games, and that is a fact.

Music in Casinos

Can you imagine the casino experience without music? The clicking of slots, the spinning of roulette wheels and slick dealing of cards is a great way to fill up the atmosphere, but the truth is you need something extra, you need to make sure that you have music.  While music may not always be present too much on the casino floor, online casino sites are an entirely different matter! Not only are tunes filling up your slot experience, but they are also part of any roulette, blackjack or baccarat game you play!  If you click on this link, you will find yourself at one of the top casinos that make it possible to enjoy some cool casino gaming on the go! Music will add to the fun you are getting from your gaming session!

Music in Everyday Life

Let’s face it,  we don’t need a special occasion to crave and listen to music. This is precisely why there are so many artists today. Whatever your favourite ones are, they will make sense to you and this is what matters. You don’t have to be in any of the main genres to enjoy them. Besides, standard genres such as:

  • Rock
  • Pop
  • Grunge
  • Folk
  • Indie

They are all disintegrating because finally creativity is not stifled by genres. Rather, you can be a fan of any genre and have a great experience all the same. You will be able to enjoy and appreciate any piece of good tune out there and this is precisely what good music is all about.

No Matter What

And so, music plays a huge role in our society. Whether you like all music or not is beside the point. What matters here is that you will have an honest good time enjoying music across numerous media and each time, you will find something new and awesome to appreciate, something that resonates with your very soul.
