Music plays a significant role in enlivening the soul and to stimulate the mind, conversely, there are several ills derived from music which incite horrendous acts in the society

 Music is life and anyone who knows the value of good music will definitely know how to appreciate it. Everyone has their preferred choice when it comes to the type of music they want to listen to, some are interested in secular music while some are interested in gospel music though all this can also be further classified into different genres which are not limited to Rock, Jazz, Classical music, Hip Hop, Blues, Reggae and many others.

Music is said to be the combination of sounds that is pleasant to the ear when listened to and it can as well not be pleasant when it comes to some cases. It can become a noise when it is been abused and that is the reason why there are noises out on the street today which people tag as music which are not adding meaning to one's life but rather brought about some social misdemeanor in our society today.

Some horrendous acts which we see people exhibit in the society today can be as result of the music they listen to. To listen to music or watch a music video where ladies are completely naked will definitely bring about the sense of belonging to the street for our young ladies out there because seeing that, they would feel it is something that is normal to do thereby triggering them to also dress half naked and walk on the street without an iota of shame in them and on the other hand, watching celebrities smoke Indian hemp in their music videos, drawing of tattoos, displaying all manner of rough hairdo that should not be seen with a responsible being has now been the order of the day which is what is rampant in the society with youths of this generation.

The big question is, who will come to our rescue? Can someone actually come to our rescue? Or we ourselves are the messiah to this horrendous acts caused by ill music that has made the society a place where responsible individuals cannot be seen in larger percentage except those who decides to stand out.

Music is very powerful and has a unique power that is capable of carrying us away and help us get deeper physical therapy for our body system more efficiently likewise it is an expression of emotion.

As it makes meaning to our lives, it is meant to give us comfort, bring us out of situations that are capable of draining one's mental health but the opposite is the case today as we see in the society all manners of music that tends not to add values to our daily lives but rather turn the society upsidedown and cause it to be a place where ills and horrendous acts are now rampant.

When our society embraces good music, it becomes medicinal to our soul through it's rhythm and helps us to thrive thereby driving our actions and emotions to influence our brains and create a sense of responsibility in our society and in return heals the society of every ills and horrendous acts.
