It is undeniable that music is an excellent way for people to relax and take some time off stressing experiences and situations. In my occasion I love listening to rock music. I know that I said that music is supposed to help someone relax and honestly rock music is the type of music that gives me the amount of energy I need so to get a little boost and continue my day or just feel less stressed after walking or studying for long. For example, one of my favorite songs is Believer for Imagine Dragons. I love this song because of the messages it gives. In my opinion it talks about being strong, never giving up, even if life is hard and there can be several occasions when people think of giving up. I think that this song teaches us how to actually cope up with problems and never rest trying to find a solution over sub-fighting for what we like and to actually achieve our dreams. The first time I heard this song, I’m not sure it would be summer in junior high school when I was in the typical phase of a teenager trying to find my music taste, what I actually preferred and what I disliked. So this song I heard it in a movie and I remember immediately trying to find it from the readings that I’ve heard and since then whenever it plays on the radio I always tell everyone not to change in the channel and love hearing it.
