People listen to music for different reasons and at different times. Why is music important to many people?

Music has always been playing an indispensable part in people's daily lives. In addition to the interests that people has developed on certain style of music, other reasons why music are important to people may involve the expression of listeners’ moods, the relief of pressure as well as memories of the past.

First of all, music is important to many people mainly because it can express people’s moods. When a boy breaks up with his girl friend, he may listen to some blues and he may find others are in common with him. If, two months later, his girlfriend agreed to give him one more chance and date with him, the boy may listen to rock everyday to express his great delight. When the boy meets another girl, he probably will begin listen to love songs and the poor ex would choose sad jazz instead of pop music. Music acts like a person who people will share feelings with. Hence, people may always refer to music no matter they are sad or jubilant.

Next, music can help people relax and release their pressure, people feel free listening to music at any time. Music is one of the best ways for people to escape temporarily from heavy work and study. Even when people are working, some people prefer to put on their earphone and concentrated on work with music background. When exhausted, it is a pleasure to listen to some classical music such as sonatas to relax. Music is another world for us to leave the complaints, concerns and all other disturbing thoughts for a short while. In other words, it always succeeds in calming our nerves besides bringing us satisfactions.

A certain kind of music may represent a certain period of time in the past or a particular person, which occupies an important part in people's lives, so that whenever people hear the music it will remind them of the memories. Try to ask yourself what will appear in your brain when the song " every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you.." started to play. When I was in junior school, I was fond of Westlife’s songs. I used to listen to a lot of their songs of which my favorites are ‘Flying without winds’, ‘My love’ and ‘Season in the Sun’. Whenever I heard their songs afterwards, they would remind me of my junior school life. Therefore music is another kind of record of a person's life. For this reason, it is regarded as a rather important part in one's daily entertainment.

All in all, music is an unique language which tells people’s happiness, sorrow and anger; it is an effective medicine which releases our pressure, nervousness and exhaustion; it is also a valuable album which commemorates our impressive, pure and precious past.
