Music is not just something you listen to, it’s something you feel. “You can be the greatest, you can be the best, you can be the King Kong banging on your chest”. This is the first line from the song “Hall of Fame” by The Script featuring Will.I.Am. There are plenty of inspiring lines in this song. My favorite lines are, “You can throw your hands up you can beat the clock (yeah) you can move a mountain you break rocks you can be a master don’t wait for luck dedicate yourself and you goin’ find yourself standing in the hall of fame”. They inspire me.

I first heard the song Hall of Fame by the Script when I was watching Sportscenter. It was the song for that week. I really liked it the first time I heard it. Then I started listening to the lyrics and then I really understood the song. The lines, “You can go the distance you can run the mile you can walk straight through hell with a smile” really gives me confidence with what I’m doing when I hear it.

Some songs I think of as a poem, because poetry can be very emotionally moving, and so can music. But not every song is like poetry. Some songs are just annoying. But I like the music that actually means something. Not just non stop cursing and no talent talking or screaming. But the songs that tell a story.

My favorite thing about music, is that some music gives you a certain feeling inside. For example when I hear the song “Hall of Fame” I get really inspired, I usually listen to it while playing basketball or when I’m at the gym. Most modern rap and metal, it’s almost boring to listen to I feel numb at times. In my opinion there is no talent, there is no meaning, and they are just talking about how rich they are or how much there life sucks even though they are living the dream not a lot of people get to live.

And these are the reasons why I recommend the song “Hall of Fame” by The Script. It’s not just cursing every other word (actually not at all), It is an inspiring song, and it tells a story but when it comes to music, the stories the song tell are different for everyone.
