Journal 5-Brady Hund

Music means a lot to me as I listen to to it in my every day life. I like all kinds of music, its medicine to me, theres genres that are perfect for all types of moods I might be feeling. I listen to it when I'm happy, sad, tired, or even if I'm just bored. Music in my opinion makes things go by quicker than usual. I feel like I can concentrate more when I'm listening to music and it helps me remain positive. I also use music for relaxing just depending on what kind of mood I'm in.

Bob Marley has been a great influence on my passion for music as he was one of the first musical artist I learned to recognize.  I was first introduced to his reggae music when I was about eight or nine years old when my older brother was keeping me up to date with "cool" music. His song about "Three Little Birds" stuck to me the most. he sang, "Rise up this morning,' Smiled with the risin' sun, Three little birds, Pitch by my doorstep, Singin' sweet songs, Of melodies pure and true

Saying', (this is my message to you), Singing' don't worry 'bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be alright, Singing' don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing, 'Cause every little thing gonna be alright" This song has caused me to be more of a laid back and relaxed person as whenever something doesn't go my way in life, I just tell myself not to worry because every little thing is going to be alright. This song was released in 1977 and just like many other people, I still listen to it till this day.

Bob Marley was my first encounter to reggae music when I was
just a little kid and he has great songs about love and positivity,
My favorite song by him, "Three Little Birds."
