Have you ever had one of those days where it seemed like everything was going wrong? The kind of day that feels like it's never going to end, that nothing can make it better, and nothing does until you're driving home from work and turn on the radio or you're sitting on the bus and you bring up Pandora on your phone and a song comes on. Maybe it's an old favorite or a new one that after hearing only one verse you already love. New or old, the moment that your hear it, the beat, the lyrics, the song as a whole, it instantly changes your mood. That's what music does. It's a mood changer and just like the words in a book or the lines in a movie, it can change your mood, your day and in some cases your view on the world and your life as a whole. Music has this incredible ability to not only be heard by the ears but also felt by the heart. It's a time machine and a time capsule all in one, taking you back to a place that was otherwise buried in your mind, and resurfacing memories that you will forever cherish in your heart. Music can touch your soul, enliven your spirit and awaken your mind like nothing else in the world and while each song is heard differently, it has the ability to touch us all. No matter who we are or where our place is in this world we all have at least one thing in common, one thing that we all can share, and that is MUSIC!
Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~Berthold Auerbach
