Effects and Consequence

Whilst surfing the internet or rather more specifically, youtube and it's japanese rival nico nico douga ,this rather strange topic of interrelation of certain actions and its effects suddenly came into my mind

To put simply what i observed was the power of a song, whenever a song writer releases a song , he most likely has a story to tell the world, and is using the song to express his story in his own personal style, may it be rock, pop or even heavy metal, every song has a story behind it.

In this instance, i realized that  songs are more powerful than i orginally thought, firstly, because of the power of the internet and the prevalence of technology, just about anybody with access to the net will be able to access the song, barring firewalls and censorship of course.

So onto the main story, i heard a song that was pretty good, then i tried to find related content,unsatisfied by the results that youtube presented me with i headed onwards to niconicodouga where the song was originally released, there i found a world beyond my wildest expectations.

What i found shocked me, it may not shock you but it most certainly expanded my opnion on the power of music and its effects.

I found many many covers of the song by various bands and individuals, i saw multiple groups of people dancing to a song i never thought was meant to be danced to, and they did it fabulously , stylishly even.

Most importantly, every one of those videos had their own ministories to tell, the performers of these covers also had their own mini fanbases and upon futher research i even realized that some of these
cover performers had gone on to form their own original bands / dance groups

And they were happy, and also successful!

So to all you song writers out there, keep on writing those songs, you'd never know who'd you inspire or what form your creation may morph into, but whatever it is, im positive that it will have an positive impact on the people who love it
