music makes the past seem real,
the future look brighter,
and the present appear less hopeless……
Indeed it does Wendi.
It gives you nostalgia, it makes you feel you can conquer anything. While giving you such a joyful feeling, all at the same time. Music, it frees the heart, and soothes the soul.
#Music!

Music has a long history with me. A huge part of my life. From both listening and playing it. There is certainly a power in music.

I agree Wendi. My therapist once mentioned, ‘have you noticed your mood reflects what music you hear?’ Ahem! I’d never bothered to notice but she’s right! I don’t have ‘time’ to keep up with music on a daily, so I wouldn’t have a clue what’s trending or not, not to mention loud noise gives me a pounding headache, but when i do get a chance at listening to something, it truly is a reflection of what’s going on, on the inside.
Also, I’ve nominated you for the ‘Blogger Recognition Award’ 🙂

I am a lover of music! I have to have my earbuds in all day at work as it gives me comfort. I tend to find so much meaning in the lyrics and then find myself completely lost in the song.I feel that music gets me through difficult times because there are some songs that I can relate to and then carry that with me. That might sound a little crazy!
