It Would Be Scary…

…If There Was No Music In The World, that would be really scary. Let’s stop and think about this for a second. Imagine if there was no music in the world. What would that be like? What would it feel like? I know that it is not a world that I would want to live in. Music can single-handedly conjur up feelings of fear, joy, excitement, anticipation, sorrow and just about any other feeling you can think of. Without music, life would become a lot more dull. Movies would not be as powerful, just imagine Braveheart without the bagpipes or jurassic park without it’s signature theme to set a wonderous tone. Not quite as good eh?

And what about dancing? Would people still even do it or would it just become a lost art? Without music, it would be difficult to keep any kind of beat or even have the motivation to to perform the act. How would children even learn the alphabet for crying out loud, with no alphabet song? There would be no marching bands at half time of college football games, no dance teams at basketball games, no concerts and a huge decrease in the creativity of the world.

For me personally, parties and bars would just not quite be the same. Granted, they can both be ok without music, but sometimes you just want to hear some good rock or hip hop to pick the mood up. There is nothing like a good song to get people going. Movies would also be a huge thing for me. Sometimes the music is what puts me over the edge during an emotional scene… and I will admit, there are a select few of these scenes that I tear up a little bit. That is scary in itself, but we wont get into that now.

A world without music would just not be the same world. It would be like one of those Twilight Zones where everyone would walk around all stiff and zombie like. People would get agitated more easily and lose their ability to have any fun. Pretty soon, people would just start turning on each other and all hell would break loose. Then… ok maybe it wouldn’t get that serious, but it would be bad and it would be scary.
