The Influences of music. Christopher Guillen. ..

[Audio] Music is the essence of story-telling; historically been used as an Oral tradition for religion, a rallying cry, and a morale boost. Like other forms of art, music resonates with audiences by predisposing them to specific emotions.

[Audio] The melody of music plays to the subconscious of the listener, increasing their heartbeat, and giving them excitement. By sewing multiple colorful chords into a song, the music itself set the mood and tone of its story or event and helps conveys the message. As a result, music has been a leading factor in affecting people's emotions and how they act upon them..

[Audio] During the 1960s, there was a huge boom of anti-war settlement because music such as " Fortune Sons" and " The Unknown Soldier" helped kick off the disgruntled public dissatisfaction with its leaders. Between 1956- 58, Elvis revolutionized the music industry by implementing " Black Music" into the mainstream, effectively aiding the abolishment of segregation.

[Audio] " Blood On The Riser" is infamously known as a paratrooper song that helps soldiers let go of their fear and let their adrenaline take over as they jump through the clouds " American Pie" was the former world record holder of being # 1 on the billboard for 50 consecutive weeks. The song talked about a cultural shift in American politics as well as the rise of political protest songs and counterculture. " M.A.A.D City" was integral to the laws of drugs because it criticized how the government acted during the war on drugs, as well as the hypocrisy of having its agents be a main cause of the black crack epidemic..

[Audio] Music has direct roots in generational ties and current/historical trends Its why songs from the past are considered " Nostalgic" or " Better" because they only affect those who were raised in it.
