The Significance of Music by Solomon Harmer

Music connects to Solomon in many ways, along with a sense of comfort in certain songs or themes of music. To him, it is more than just a sound or rhythm that plays—it can affect how he feels or how his day could change for the better, or even help with anxiety, especially in the genre of rock music. Now, he is very open to listening to a lot of different music… not exactly picky, but he has more of a taste towards the alternative side or genre of music because it doesn’t sound like every other song.

Often, most artists or producers of music do not put as much effort as people who use guitars, drums, and, in general, the sound of their voice does not sound like the effort is there as much anymore, especially people who use autotune. But what makes music so special to Solomon is how much it has helped him through school, relationships, childhood, and in general throughout many different hardships and difficult times in life that have come and gone, but music has stayed.

For Solomon, music has also changed his perspective on many things throughout life and has taught him different stories through different songs, along with how to deal with situations better. Solomon also loves music because you can see it in concerts and also the merchandise that you can buy, like shirts, posters, and hoodies. These pieces of clothing or posters often hold memories for him and are enjoyable to wear because they look cool. Sometimes, people will notice the shirt and compliment it, which may allow him to make a friend.

But also, to come back to the main part that Solomon enjoys—not just seeing his music being played live, but he gets a chance to see his favorite artist play in front of him, which is so very special because it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Solomon, especially if he brings his girlfriend. That is exactly why music is so significant to Solomon.
