| It was all in that big round black vinyl. From the very first recorded music, people have been continuously listening to good rhythms and soothing tones. As time progress, so was the music. From early rock bands during the era of peace, love, and happiness, to hip hop and electronica music today, this mind blowing experience called music has changed a lot of lives, and is still there to change the lives of the next generation.All genres of music has their own “best”, and with that, comes along the fans, which fuel their desire to make more music. Of course, for one to be successful in music, they have to be interested in such, and be hardworking so as to reach the number one in the hit charts. But that is not all. With making music comes big responsibilities. Getting the right record label company to produce your music is key, because they will provide all the extras when it comes to music business, such as your own album, CD copies, advertisements, album launch, and if you are that good-- concerts. Indeed, being a music superstar is not just about the bling, the money, the cars, and not even the chicks. And then there's the heart of everything—writing your music. Yes, you may even wait for a shooting star to be able to get the right words for what you really want to say in the song, but that comes along with songwriting. After having done with a couple of songs, then it is time for the artist to pitch in their songs to music giants, and eventually reproduce their music and earn big bucks and popularity as well.After saying that, we realized that the music business today mainly works around money and fame. But when one sees the beauty of music when The Beatles or even Jackson Five were still around, they will see that music before was all about love, togetherness, and sometimes rebellious messages (but that should balance everything). The message of every song implies the thought or message of our generation today. So whether it be love, hate, emotions, politics, war, or strawberries, the music influences the people, and vice versa.The music business today, as we know it, is changing according to what people really want to hear, and the current situation that the society is in. It depends on what's new, what's hot in today's generation, and with what is happening around them. The music business today is quite different from what we have before, and is constantly changing more and more as fresh new music is created. Yes, we have improved on every level when it comes to making music, especially with the technology on our side. But let us not forget the beauty of music when it is raw, heartfelt, and true. |
