Music and My Blog

My Blog has evolved over time to include music in the form of lyrics and sometimes video. Music can be defined as an art of sound in time that expresses ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm, melody, harmony, and color.

Music usually carries with it a message and sometimes I feel that a particular song would be able to convey the message that I wish to express in the blog entry. Contrary to what some may think, it is not effective to use music always as a medium of expression. Studies have shown that if the music that doesn't appeal to certain individuals, it is likely that the individual would not get the message intended.

I have been selective over the songs that I append to my blog entries. Below is an example of incorporating music in my blog; the song selected is feisty and fast paced, and it's likely that readers may not catch the meaningful message behind the song, thus the lyrics have also been appended.

Jennifer Lopez - Let's get Loud


(Here we go)
Let's get loud, let's get loud
Turn the music up, let's do it
C'mon people
Let's get loud, let's get loud
Turn the music up to hear that sound
Let's get loud, let's get loud
Ain't nobody gotta tell ya
What you gotta do

If you wanna live your life
Live it all the way and don't you waste it
Every feelin' every beat
Can be so very sweet you gotta taste it
You gotta do it, (you gotta do it) you gotta do it your way
You gotta prove it (you gotta prove it)
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta do it (do it) you gotta do it your way
You gotta prove it (prove it)
You gotta mean what you say

Life's a party, make it hot
Dance don't ever stop, whatever rhythm
Every minute, every day
Take them all the way you gotta live 'em
('cause I'm-a live my life)
You gotta do it, (you gotta do it) you gotta do it your way
You gotta prove it (you gotta prove it)
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta do it (do it) you gotta do it your way
You gotta prove it (prove it)
You gotta mean what you say

CHORUS:
Let's get loud, let's get loud
Turn the music up to hear that sound
Let's get loud, let's get loud
Ain't nobody gotta tell you
What you gotta do, no no
(Make it hot)

Life is meant to be big fun
You're not hurtin' anyone
Nobody loses
Let the music make you free
Be what you wanna be
Make no excuses
You gotta do it, (do what you wanna do) you gotta do it your way
To gotta prove it (say what you wanna say)
You gotta mean what you say
You gotta do it, (go where you wanna go) you gotta do it your way
You gotta prove it (just do it)
You gotta mean what you say


Live life all the way and let music set you free!
