WHAT IF…?
‘Without music, life would be a mistake.’
Nietzsche
Just imagine for a minute, what would life be like if there were
no music? Can you imagine the movies without it, weddings or
festivals? What would we listen to or play when we were cheerful
or sad? Music has always been the source of relief in our lives.
(1)___, and it has the power to affect our emotions, such as
bringing us to floods of tears or bursts of laughter. We all need
to chill out to forget about our daily life problems, and music
does this for us. The world would be a boring and meaningless
place if it didn’t exist. Our lives would be totally empty without
melodies and harmonies. We would never have a chance to
catch the rhythm of life. And, what would take us to our childhood
memories if we lost music? (2)___. This is the magic of music;
it connects the memories and the moments like a time machine.
Also, it has the power to unite thousands of people. We would
all lose a universal language if music weren’t in our lives. We
couldn’t develop our relationships and get closer to our relatives
and friends if we didn’t feel the effect of it. (3)___, and if it didn’t exist, we wouldn’t be able to concentrate
on things while we were studying. Moreover, we shouldn’t forget its healing effect on patients. Music has
always been an effective kind of treatment for heart diseases, insomnia, dementia and cancer. (4)___.
