All the songs we listen to, whether on the radio or on YouTube, all have a particular meaning and feeling that they help to express. Music is an important part of our entertainment, the songs we listen to and the sounds we hear all contribute to our personality, feelings and emotions. Some songs bring us happiness and some songs make us sad. Human beings have a very wide range of emotions; so songs have to be created to fit all these feelings. Death is a common topic among most singers. We all experience death in some way, whether it is the death of a friend or family member. Music can certainly shape our attitudes and personalities. Regarding death, songs can also reflect our views on death and this can vary from genre to genre. For example, "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry, "Keep Me In Your Heart" by Warren Zevon, and "I Miss You" by Miley Cyrus all have the common theme of death, but each song illustrates death in a different way. .Many things in this world shape our attitudes; it can be the people we associate with, the television we watch and the music we listen to. The music we listen to can have a big effect on how we grow as people and how we treat others. Music has both positive and negative effects on people, it just depends on what music you like to listen to.
