All right.
Music.
What does.....what does that word mean to you Kyle? Well Ben,
to me that word, uh, means
history because music
it goes back to as far back
as we know.
Um, to me personally it means a lot. I mean,
without music then this world be a totally different place.
I agree                                                         it'd just be
blank sound. There'd be
no pianos, no instruments of any sort. There'd be nothing such as rhythm.
Yeah, rhythm                                                You'd just hear normal sounds sounds and you hear any rhythms or anything like that. It'd just be
I mean, what is life without music?
I'd totally have to agree with that. It's...without music
it'd be a boring life. There's music for any kind of uh
emotion, really if you think about it.
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the song of angry men
It is the music of a people who will
not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart
echoes the beating of the drums, there
is a life about to start when tomorrow comes
So Ben, you asked me how uh,
What music means to me, uh, what does it mean to you?
Dude I, I don't even know where to start like
well, I mean when I think of it just like, you know, in general the word and stuff and you know what it means
on the grander scale, the larger scale, what ever you wanna call it.
Music is.... it's truly one of the uh, one things that everybody in the world has in common,
that we all share. It may not be the same type or words and stuff, but
it's something we can all somewhat come together on, you know? One of those things.
One of the few things                               Yeah
What I think of
is that
God gave us music
And....it's just one little glimpse of heaven, what it's gonna be like. There's a few moments in the music, you know, that's just beautiful and amazing
up there.....it's gonna be even more beautiful.
Your'e right.
Because that's really uh what we're getting at here is music...music make us one. And it does.
Yeah, it makes us one and that's uh from a song, "Celebrate Music."
Back.....we sang it in the past, both of us sang it in the past. And uh
now that we come back to think of it, in retrospect, um
it does make us one.
Yeah, and uh actually, basically anything you say is in a song somewhere...everything's in a song......nowadays.
From the words of Martin Luther
"Next to the the Word of God the noble art of music
is the greatest treasure in the world."
Yeah, I could not have said that better myself. I agree completely with that.
I mean....he was definitely an innovator of his time. I mean, he
changed....what churches nowadays
He changed....
changed the world really. Yeah, you're right. Changed the perspective, and
different musics came out of that.
Music changed the world.
Everything in it.
In every aspect of life, you can find it and it has an influence on basically, you know on every part of life.
Indeed it does. You just uh,
Ya might not always see it at first, but
after you look back on it or after you take a second glance... it's there...it's somewhere there, it is.
Um, yeah, I mean. Just have to learn the appreciation for it. Exactly, I mean some people
everybody has different tastes in music and not all music's gonna, you know, appeal to everybody.
That's just like one thing we said before. It...puts everybody as one... makes everybody sort of as one. Yeah,
you know, that's... that's the big thing here.
Music, make us one.
Alright so now we're going to uh, we're going to
take a look, I guess at uh, what other people are,
what other people's thoughts are on music and what
what it means to them.
Take their perspective on stuff...not just our perspective, but we have other people  who have experienced music in other ways that's a side perspective and other people have experienced music in other ways
and uh, different kinds of music
different background besides...us two.
Very true.
When...when people think, you know
Um, oh, hey you're involved with music and stuff? Whether or not you know, you're involved also in sports and stuff, they think
, you know, oh well
that's that's an easy A or
you know, yeah, I've heard that music helps with you know, like math, you know with four beats in beats a measure and whatnot.
Which definitely does help don't get me wrong....with being a great player, that definitely does help.
Sometimes the band teacher gets mad if you can't count, but either way
That stuff, you know, that's not really what we're trying to get after with music. Um
Music is so much more more than
than what you...than what it may appear from the outside, especially
um, through kids in high school that are just going through high school and
looking at other kids who are involved in music and stuff.
but
kids in music will tell ya it's uh, it's more than
what uh...meets the ear I guess, not the eye. But uh, our uh, both our band and our choir teacher would agree with me in saying that you know
in uh, in all honesty we could care less if you hit the right notes
uh, right rhythms, the right pitches...though it's very nice to our ear
and such that we do,
it's uh, it's really...really about what it means to you
uh, the story, that you know...it's
it's so much more than uh....well, than....well it's hard to explain. But, it means a lot of things to a lot of people. And we're going to uh
go over, uh...a few things
that, uh, I myself, and uh
my partner Kyle, who's not with me today
uh, think it is.
Music is about.....it's about telling a story
It's about.....inspiring...yourself, and others
The people you see in the song
The water the meadows of crime
Music......it's......it's about touching the lives and hearts of others
Music... it's.... it's about
expressing and telling, uh, what you can't express and tell through just words.
All right, so Kyle and I, uh, like I mentioned, uh, shortly before this
We're going to to now interview some people about what music means to them.
Alright time for some interviews. So I'm here with Kayleigh.
What's your last name Kayleigh?                   Powell
Alright, so the question for today is what does music mean to you?
Music to me means
A way of expressing what you feel and what others can feel so you can connect to them.
I uh, I agree with that completely.
It's kind of what I was mentioning before
when I was talking about what it means to Kyle and I.
Any other thoughts on music? It'd be a good way to jam out with friends.
Yeah, that's... that is a good way to jam out with friends. It's uh
Yeah, you can, you can make, you know, better friends, you know, through music. It's
it's quite uh
amazing actually.
Music..... it's about....
connecting with people and
building stronger relationships with
those people.
All right
