I am a quite girl, and I tend to like the gentle things including music. In many different genres of music, I think Ballad is the most suitable one for me, and it is also my favorite type. Ballad songs were originally written to accompany dances, so they were composed in alternate lines so a couple could take turn to dance. After a while, it was widely known for being a slow form of love songs. Composers usually uses Ballad to narrate stories – mostly love stories, and it can be considered as a more sentimental version of Pop or Dance music. It is obvious that people always try to make their songs become catchy and easy to listen to, but Ballad has deeper meanings for people to gradually feel and understand. Each song has poetic lyrics with different stories about love. It can be about a happy couple who are madly in love, it can be about a sad person with a broken heart, or it can also be about good memories of the beloved ones. For each content come a long with a melody, and a suitable voice can bring a song to a higher level. My favorite ballad musician is Céline Dion. She is a great singer with an incredible voice, and she became well known all over the world after she performed a legendary original soundtrack My heart will go on of the Titanic movie. Ballad is a great form of music to use in movies, and almost every film has at least one Ballad song to make some scenes become more dramatic. Ballad can cheer me up, but it can also bring my mood down very quickly. When I listen to music, I usually choose certain songs that suit my feelings at that time, and I find Ballad is truly my best friend.
