Hearing Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars help and changed my life completely. I used to live in California in a very bad crowded neighborhood, my parents had just broken the news to me that we are going to move to Utah. Normally I should’ve been excited, but I was scared and worried and sad I’m going to leave my extended family what was I going to do who was going to cheer me up when I’m in my low moments and my favorite people would not be there to help me. My older cousin Danny he is just 2 years older than me when he found out that I was moving away, he knew i was sad somehow and he told me it was all okay, he introduced me to Uptown funk since i was a HUGE Bruno mars fan. I remember his exact words to this day "When you are sad just listen to this song and remember that you are loved, and life is your show". He said that about Five years ago and every time I fail a test or feel like I’m doing something wrong i listen specifically to Uptown Funk by Mark Ronsons and Bruno Mars. Obviously, I don’t only listen to Uptown Funk, but this music helped me connect with Rihanna, Beyonce, Tyler the creator and so much more. These artists not only were my music entertainment, but I connected with the lyrics I felt as if my life was being told with their lyrics. Sometimes when I just needed a moment to myself music is what guided, helped and calmed me. Music for me is my therapy, I connect with the lyrics and imagine my life decisions and behaviors with that music. Music affected my life in the best positive way I could imagine. With music I feel like I’m gravitating and entering a new place in my mind where I only matter, and my worries slip away. I thank to this day the awesome music tastes my cousin Danny and other family members have showed me because if it weren’t for them, I feel like I would be not in a good place. Music is what helped me realize who I am, a strong independent loving person who will always try in their own way to help others and hopefully people will let me explain how much music helps and benefits them in the best way imaginable. Who knows maybe someday in the future I could be an artist and help others to connect like Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson did to me.
