here are countless things that I love in this world.  I love chocolate milk, sleeping in, bright colors, and ice cream.  But the thing I love the most is music.  Music has such a wide range of possibilities.  A person can listen to Tchaikovsky’s compositions from the 1800’s Romantic era one day and then listen to listen to heavy metal bands such as Five Finger Death Punch the next day.  People can bond over music very easily.  However, music is also perfect for listening to when someone wants to be alone.

When I’m alone, I enjoy listening to anything from MGMT, a neo-psychedelic rock band, to Iron & Wine, an indie folk singer/songwriter.  Music can be seen as a chance to escape the troubles of the real world.  During those tough times in life, it’s nice to simply go on a walk or something and listen to some music.  The lyrics and musical structure of a song can offer insight or comfort to the listener depending on the song and style.

One of the most interesting things about music is the way it doesn’t need to make sense to be considered “good.”  What is “good music” to one person may very well not be to another.  We all think differently and go through different experiences in life, therefore, we all have a different taste in something as diverse as music.  Music is more about feelings and emotion rather than logic or reasoning.  It’s extremely similar to poetry in a sense that it can convey emotions or thoughts without directly saying what the author/artist is intending to explain.

It’s hard to imagine a world without music.  Everything would seem dull and colorless.  Music adds life and personality to anything and everything.  Simple activities that everyone does almost everyday such as getting dressed or showering become more interesting.  Whether a person loves to listen to today’s top forty hits or extremely obscure bands, almost everyone enjoys music.  He/she may not listen to it constantly but music is one of the few things that will always be

I really do like mother mother (a band). But I don't like rock, my favorite song is can you feel my heart my bring me the horizon. I also do really like lofi, though certain songs can raise my anxiety. One of my favorites is let me hold you by lofi.samurai. I like chilled slowed down songs but sometimes I'll be in the mood for sum a little bit spicier, like hotel room service. Hotel room service is a song that when I hear it, it makes me feel like I'm 6 years old again. No matter the lyrics. Hope you enjoyed hearing my mixed taste in music :)

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
