I'm taking a Music Appreciation class and we always discuss and listen to different genres of music. I've always wanted to ask if people actually enjoy the music we analyze or if they're into something completely different. I went up to a young girl in my class and decided to ask her myself. She said she hates the music we listen to for the class. She's into hip hop and mainstream pop. I also asked her if there is specific song that helps her get through the day. She answered, Beautiful People by Chris Brown. I asked her if I could listen to it and now I could understand how it could help her get through the day. She also mentioned that she has been listening to that song at least everyday for the past month. Not only does the song have a catchy beat, it's lyrics are quite nice too. She tells me the song is a friendly reminder to just live life.
"Live your life, live your life, let that love inside. It's your life, it's your life, got to play it right. Your beauty's deep inside, inside you. Don't let 'em bring you down, no. The beauty is inside you. Don't let 'em bring you down, cause you start your life today. Live any thoughts you've dreamed of."
