Basically, if you are a normal human being, you would adore music. Its either backstreet boys or Three Doors Down. Doesn’t matter how addicted you are to music; it still doesn’t make you an expert.
An iPod has become a daily accessory for all of us. E! has classified it as a must have accessory in the year 2009. This resembles how much portion of our routine day has become involved with Music. I walked into your room where it’s full of Beatles posters and guitars’ hanging almost everywhere or you may know every Britney Spears song by heart, and you may sing them even better than Travis, it still doesn’t make you a Music Expert.
I am not an expert on this either. But all I know is stereotyped thinking cannot be practiced in the Music Industry. Music is catered to everyone. From a child to elderly. From Asian to European. From male species to female species. This gives you a million song to choose from. I may vomit to a song from BSB while it becomes an essential of your routine life for you or for a million other human beings.
So eliminate the borders, races, religion, sex and age if you wish to be the music expert, that you believe you are. Say you don’t like it but it might be wise to market the music in India. Respect people who have actually laid out milestones. Respect people who have already climbed up the ladder. Respect the people who had already published their music while you are simply talking shit everyday.
Music can be taken on different perspective. Even if you feel vomitish to one song, understand the differences in our culture and the fact that even your girlfriend or boyfriend might actually listen to it behind your back because you make not only the band or artist feel like crap but also anyone who listens to the music. This is totally unacceptable acts of humans especially on such a day.
Therefore, until you start to be the vocalist or the drummer to my morning song or my goodnight song, don’t even expect me to hear your opinion on my song. And I boldly say the above again, Music is not simply good only if you listen or adore it. It is good if there are people to listen to it. Admire the music that you hear on the radio and esteem the song played in your public transportation system (I don’t mean that you ought to listen to songs that you don’t like) and bow for all the hard work that’s done by the artist for them to go where we’ve never been. Acknowledge the skill, knowledge, enthusiasm, courage, innovation and creativity that had impressed a producer, record label and even the listener.
In the music platform, most of us are just people who listen, for a million of reason. So today, let us all be listeners, nothing more or nothing less and toast to all those who have made it this far. For all those who are playing their songs to the people who love it. For all those who have got their names printed on a CD.
And on this day, while we salute the good, let us all come down to where we belong and look upon the people who are above us. This post and I salute, with respect and love, to all musicians, who have taken even the tiniest steps of their career, and this address does not leave even a single musician despite what genre they are in. To all the artists and to WORLD MUSIC DAY!
