Music for mind and soul together

block
Md Saiful Islam Masum :
Music always refreshes mind and soul together. Music and instrumental flute have a immense contributions over minds. Minds often become tired, exhausted and clumsy due to hectic job pressure, social pressure, and financial pressure and for other reasons. Mind fall into some unwanted turbulences and face a direct traumatized situation. In those stress situations, nothing can erase the turbulence and no event can eradicate the all stress and anxiety without music.
Music has a magical power to control the minds. Music can apply a pivotal and vital role in softening the mind and in lessening the stresses of minds. So music has very good capacity of pacifying the minds. Though it camouflaged with minds but in fact only the successful elements of life is music what can tremendously make a radical change in minds. Music makes a storm in night and make a stormy change in people’s heart.
In our country there are some legendary singers who usually sing for wounded and poor peoples. There are so many global standard Professors in our country. There are so many famous and fantabulous singer who really comparable with any others of the world like Runa Laila – a heroine is the subcontinent, Sabina Yeasmin, Khalid Hasan Milu, Andrew Kishore, Syed Abdul Hadi, Subir Nandi, Farida Parvin etc.
We all have a favorite song or there might be a song that made us carries on in a moment when nothing else seemed to help, the sound is something very powerful and should not be underestimated and singing can also have positive and harmonizing effects. Music is also a great way to express feeling and emotions we would otherwise find difficult to bring out in daily life. A great example of this is John Lennon, but there are many other significant singers in the past that accomplished the task to raise awareness challenging dogmas, and old belief systems no longer serving humanity. There are many genres to choose from Classical, Pop, Rock, Instrumental, vocal music and so forth, music is also used in movies; it adds more to the scene enhancing the overall visual experience. Some famous and very popular singers did not have a happy life though, The King Elvis Presley is a good example of that, His lifestyle was very extravagant and not very healthy and he probably could not handle the pressure and the stress of being a worldwide celebrity. He died at a very young age, But his talent and music will never be forgotten, His spirit will live forever through the notes and the words in his songs, Music is something that existed for a very long time.
In Bangladesh Pop Guru Azam Khan initiated the Band Music and made it popular to a very mass class of citizens. In the line of Pop Guru Azam Khan, Mr. Ayub Bacchu of LRB, James of Nagar Baul, Hasan of ARC, Lumin of FEEDBACK also walked forward and put on Azam Khan’s shoes. They have given us a tremendously beautiful arena in Music. They have successfully created a strong base of good listener and curious people for music. They created a badge and contingent of people who are very much enthusiastic for music.
Songs can also express strong feelings and emotions, that is why love songs are so popular, Live concerts tend to bring huge crowds of people together, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. It is also a carrier for significant messages such as political racial and cultural ones. Today we enjoy music videos that are very expressive in the way they assist the song to portray its message. Cultural events of great importance are held such as Opera plays one of the most famous and revered places where they are taking place: Teatro Alla Scala in Milano (Italy). Other significant lyrical singers that should be mentioned are: Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, and Andrea Bocelli. There are also many pop sensations that deserve to be mentioned such as Jennifer Lopez (that have also had a decent career as an actress on the side). And who would not remember Madonna and Ricky Martin that were super-popular in the 90s and early 2000s? The Rolling Stones and Iron Maiden have been very successful musical groups for decades.
The Gipsy Kings were a phenomenal group when it comes to guitar and acoustic Latino Music, but there are too many talented and great singers and group to mention, Nonetheless, I cannot avoid naming the Guitar Legend Jimi Hendrix and the Beatles, very loved in the 70s, Tupac became very famous as a rap singer and his lyrics were rarely dull when it came to portraying a controversial message, and food for thought about the things not working in modern society. In the past music had a slower tempo and that is why Baroque music is also called 60 beat music because it has about the same amount of beat in a minute.
In the neighbouring country India, we may found Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Pankaj Udas, Udit Narayan, Kumar Shanu, A. R Rahman, Sonu Nigham, Bappi Lahiri, Alka Yagnik, Shreya Ghoshal, Neha Kakkar, Shan, Monali Thakur, Daler Mehendi, Adnan Sami and so many more talented singers and music compositors are dominating Indian music arena and fluting the hearts of all Indian people. If we go back, we shall found the robust contribution of Manna Dey, S.D Barman, Hemanta Mukharjee, Late Mungeshkar, Asha Bhosle etc. who had also a great deal of contribution in Music.
Recently a book entirely dedicated to the argument on how music improves focus and concentration in reading and studying has been published. There is also something called sound healing that seems to have great benefits for health and well being! In some cultures, people danced to music in a ring, so it works also as a group activity. Recent studies have shown that listening to music during a workout in the gym can improve the overall results with gains by 15%. Music is not only nourishment for the soul or merely an idealistic way to entertain, but it has some very concrete and practical benefits in every area of our lives that are constantly being tested and measured in many ways.
This is how, the way of pacifying and soothing life is be done by Music. Music will sing a Portray of your life. Music plays a vital role in communication and soothing peoples of Bangladesh suffered at a stretch for long days. We can come forward if we can see the appeasement and soothe our life by the touch of music. It makes the mind tranquil and happy.
