Music is something that’s very hard to put into words for me. It’s a topic I’ve written about before but is something that never ceases to astound me.
How much it transcends borders and is universal. The fact that it connects people together. I love when people come together to share their love for a particular song or piece of music. It’s as if for that moment they are under one flag, nationalities and such don’t matter.
The sheer power of music. How it uplifts the soul. None of it is by accident but I believe music was put here to heal troubled souls, uplift shaky spirits and reinvigorate passions.
It truly is a medicine of the sweetest kind. The idea that there is something out there for every person is perfect too. People can choose what music they listen to around their personal tastes and so it becomes something personal.
Sometimes I like to think I have a relationship with music. Almost like it’s an entity. And all the artists and musicians that make it up are the body. It’s something personal for me as music has been there for me a lot of times when no one was. It’s gotten me so inspired to the point where I take it upon myself to make my own music. Even working with other artists at times to bring forth a vision.
Music is a friend in times of need. Want to feel comforted and like someone feels your pain? There is music for that. Want music to enhance your mood or experience? Ditto. Want to reflect on times long gone when it seemed things were better? Again I repeat.
I read a comment sometime where someone said they couldn’t imagine a world without music. I hardly can either. For me it’s a driving force for the human race and has given a voice to the voiceless and given people platforms where otherwise they wouldn’t have one.
In all honesty, thank God for music.
