Inspiration for anything, from anyone, is a hard thing to come by. I personally find myself without inspiration and with out much feeling. Almost numb, almost. But the one thing that I find more inspiring than anyone I’ve ever met is music. Music can tell of one’s life stories in a very creative, life changing way. And most of the time, songs by musicians are about their life stories and I find that almost hard to believe when they’re so famous. But if you look deep within songs and just open your eyes to all kinds of music, you can really see what different parts of the world is about, and not only just one part of the world, but maybe history, and how that little blip in time has affected just that one person.
I believe most music starts out as just one thought, dream, or even just something to do, but what it ends to be is the most inspiring thing that many people can only dream about. I love music, and although I enjoy a particular type of music, I still think that any genre of music has their own tale. The music I mostly listen to is a genre that many people find just rude and offensive, but not because of the lyrics, not because of the people, but how the musicians are playing. The singer screaming his lungs out, guitars with a very low, quick sound to it, and the drums just seem like they’re just banging a couple of things together that sound like something. People find that offensive. I find it, soothing and a very good way to release emotions. And those same people listen to Pop, and Hip-hop, which some people find very offensive when in truth they’re telling their lives in a very different manner. So what I’m getting at is music inspires many people, and the listeners aren’t as inspired by it and don’t open their eyes to all kinds of music.
I find music to be a great outlet for many different things, like emotions, beliefs, and just things that need to be said. Emotions are very important things that some people can’t deal with, with out writing about it, weather it be in song, poetry or even blogging everyone deals with it in certain ways and some find music their way out, and I find it mine. Many beliefs on things can be thought about and thrown out into the world by song writing, even if all the world’s people don’t here it, maybe some will and you’ll change the way on how the look at it. Take John Lennon’s song “Imagine” for instance, his trying to get out the world that just picture how differently this world would be if we just put our beliefs to the side and just lived. That song changed me to be very non-religious, and that being my choice. Lastly, things that just need to be said. There are many things that people don’t know how to tell each by talking and so they turn to music. Music can tell everyone who listens about it. Take Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire” for example, he couldn’t find a way to tell a lady he likes about the way he felt about her, so he wrote about it, and it got popular.
Music inspires me in such a way that it makes me want to fall asleep and dream about music and everything they’re trying to say, and I believe if I did do that, that I would be in a coma for a very long while. But I hope music can change you as much as it has me.

This was a really good idea, you used examples of artists you liked and you showed that you really believed in what you wrote.
If this were my paper I would write more about how it changed you in a particular way, ar least one example, but this was still a good paper.
That was very good! What songs inspire you the most? If this was my paper I would state my favorite song and why it inspired me.
1) I agree with you ben, I liked that you wrote about something that is real.
2) What about you, how has it inspired you and to do what?
3) If this were my paper I would.... make it shorter.
I like how you describe music as a life story; it's a cool way to think of it. One question for me is, how exactly has music inspired you in your life? If this was my paper I would write more about yourself and how it inspires you.
This makes ma sad. Don't ask me why, but it does.
It was really nice, you rpobably coulc shorten it just a bit but I truthfully think that it's fine.
If anything you should just talk a bit more on how it's inspired you...
Now that I'm done acting like a teacher; That somg by Jimi Hendrix that you talked about, it was playing this morning. Scared the crap uot of me when I woke up.
The thing is, is that i did relate it back to me... like all the time... just saying...
