1. Meeting

????The first time I knew the song "Cycles" is in a popular game called Geometry Dash. It was so inspiring that I wanted to learn more about this kind of music. I have never listened to electronic music before I met this song, but now I am totally crazy about it.

??

A short time after that, I was extremely excited because a classmate of mine told me he loved this song, too. He told me that when he was on his way home, he would put this song on a cycling excursion, with his earphones on, it's like entering another peaceful world. He enjoyed the mournful and smooth melody . We share the same feeling that once you listened to this song, it will automatically go on and on in your mind and never, never?fade away.

2. Comment

????As for me, what makes this song so special is that the style of this song blends classical melody and modern accompaniment musical instruments, like drums and harmonies. At first I judge?this song belongs to classical music because it appeared with the leisure?simple?notes, however, slowly gaining force, suddenly it turns into high-side. The major melody repeats, cycles, and loops, with more and more instruments adding in.?It lasts till the end of the third part, the major melody changed quieter and quieter. Then in the fourth part, the piano sound comes in, clean and bright like a whisper in the valley, or the lonely raindrop falls down to the ground. Followed by a hard drum-beat, the melody builds to a crescendo, repeats, cycles and loops again till the last note.?After it finishes, the melody might resound in your mind, and you “force”?to replay this song ?for another time…

3. Further meaning

????What I love about this three-minute-long song is not only that the force and the melody of it is full of ups and downs, but also the more I listen to it, the more I would think about the meaning of life. It tells me that Life is not a straight line. Base on the emotion of the music, I suppose the composer wrote this song with endless disappointment and extreme sadness. But every hard drum-beat reminds me that we must struggle to defeat the frustration and the fact that reality may sometimes be disappointing. And the high melody symbolizes the shouting from our hearts to the destiny.

I have had some tough days recently, mostly cause by?my unpleasant scores?and frozen friendships. I find that my school-life is also experiencing difficulties. Relying on this song, I hope I'll soon get rid of the bad mood, and face to the difficulties, find the true-myself.?As my teacher reminds us?frequently, 'Life always cycles up!??'
