Ok... so now that I... am trying not to slack that much, I'll start off with a few quotes first. As for lyrics, it'll have to wait a while until I have the time to look for the lyrics and translation and checking whether the said translation is right or needs to be changed and then the posting and the editing... yeah... so I'll need the time. 

Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.

- Martin Luther

And there's quite a few things that can be said about this quote right? Although I'm not the smartest of people and I can't really communicate what I want all that well, but I shall try... This quote I find quite true.

Music is a discipline, although the way in which you approach it may be different, but the way that we treat it is all the same right? It is how we are able to express ourselves emotionally, whether by being the makers of music or the listeners of music. Music can bring our emotions up or it can bring it down. When you are really frustrated, I find that listening to some music does make me feel better and more calm. There's such a large variety of music out there, and they all help with different emotions. 

In terms of making a person more moral and more reasonable, I think that most music does try to do that. The music style, and most of all the lyrics. I do find that when I do read lyrics, most of the time, they are quite meaningful and helpful. Sometimes, they are so close to what I am feeling that I can feel more strong  and other times they, I suppose... give us something to aspire to? Since... without goals, how do we grow as a person? Although... I don't really know if the last point really... counts. XS

Would love to hear your thoughts about this. =]

Who I am? Hey guys! Just call me Merran, Mezzy, or even Siri if you want. (don't ask, I'm not even sure how that came about). I'm born on 24th of December 1990. My hometown is Singapore, but I'm currently studying in Melbourne, Australia. I'm studying an Arts degree right now, and have no real idea what I want to do still with the rest of my life =/ Music is something that has kept me company through all my ups and downs. Especially through my downs when I feel like there is no one who understands.
