Music is a powerful tool that helps bring people together. No matter what kind of music it might be, virtually everyone falls in love with a certain type of music. Music can help comfort us. When i feel down music makes me feel a hundred times better. I can listen to a song about a person who went through exactly what i am going through. I can relate to their problems and see that i am not the only one who goes through this. Music can inspire us. Sporting events can sometimes be very stressful for me. It often helps me to clear my head and focus to listen to music that pumps me up. And music can move us. Music relates to us ideas and situations that we hold dear. I sometimes find myself moved by songs i used to hear as a kid. They bring back old memories of things i used to do. For the Invisible Man, the song "What Did I Do To Be So Black and Blue" comes as a great comfort. It relates to the frustration of black people in America who are cursed from their birth with their skin color. Like Louis Armstrong, the Invisible Man wonders what he did to be so black and blue.
