Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.

Adult（成年的）drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, and the life of American people. Most of the radio programs are music.

Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in many places. Once the popular singer is heard all over the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star.

There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk（民間）music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.

I can’t remember when I fell in love with music. Maybe it happened when I was feeling blue sometime long ago. I can’t tell you exactly how music makes me feel better. But while listening to music, especially light music, it makes me feel calm and peaceful. Now I am listening to a song named Moon River. It is really a fantastic song. I didn’t like this song at the beginning, but later I found its slow melody and beautiful lyrics deeply touching.

“Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker. Wherever you’re going I’m going your way. Two drifters(流浪者) are off to see the world. There’s such a lot of world to see.”

Yes. Although there is a long way to go for the drifters and maybe there are many troubles ahead, he seems afraid of nothing. I like music. Music reminds me that human beings have a lot in common even if they come from different countries or backgrounds, because we all have the same feeling or understanding of melodies and words.
