When someone says, “well, I guess I

When someone says, “well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced.
The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from?
The first information comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings（侧厅） to go on the stage. After they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to go to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra（管弦乐队）which was just below them.
And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out.
So “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”
