Years ago, people woke up to and were surrounded by the sound of birds and other nature. The sound of a songbird acted as music for all. You could sit in your house and not be burdened with the sounds of TV or radio. Walking down the street, driving in your car or shopping were without any sound.
Today we cannot escape sound. The sounds of TV and radio consume our everyday. We have TV’s in more than one room of the house, we have radios in our house, in our cars; even if we are walking on the street, we hear the noise of radios in other cars passing by. We enter a store and the faint noise of a radio enters our ears. Even while we ride an elevator for 30 seconds, bad musak fills the air. What used to be the sound of bird singing is now the sound of the radio. The everyday songbird has not been replaced by the radio, yet just overpowered. There still are the days where you can wake up to the sound of birds singing outside and then there are other days where you wake up to the sound of your radio alarm clock.
