Music really is something else, isn't it? Music moves you, literally, makes an impact and can create a feeling or emotion with just a few chords; from the mental guitar rift of 'Creep' to the crafted intro of 'Stolen Car'. I can never understand people who have no interest in music, as surely it has formed an intrinsic part of who you are; growing up with what your parents listened to, plus the influences of people and places.
A song can touch your spirit and tug at your heart; every song represents a moment in time, a feeling, a person, a place, a kiss, a laugh, a right, a wrong, just about everything in life is documented by a song, well in my life anyway. I love the fact that you can hear a song and a whole history can be activated both in memory and emotionally. There are still songs that cause a sting in my heart and some that make me dance like a nutter!
I just wish that I had every song in the world on my ipod, as everyday I discover new stuff and feel like I have been missing out. If I had my way, the whole world would have a permanent stream of music playing; in shops, in the streets, at work. Music and singing along to music makes people happy and in some cases brings them to life; more music, happier times. Regardless of the emotional journey of songs, some good, some bad and some damn right ugly, I could not imagine a life without it!
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach
