Music is Good for the Soul

"Music washes away from the soul the dust from everyday life."  Berthold Auerbach

 

Music has been a huge part of my life ever since I can remember.  There aren't very many times when I don't have it on in the background of whatever I'm doing.  I love to play around on itunes, going from one artist to another.   Music has been with me through good times and bad and has healed some wounds.  I love it when I find a song that explains exactly how I feel.  Whether it's happiness, sadness, confusion, anxiety, loneliness, excitement, I usually have a song that goes with the emotion.

I love how a song has the power to take you back in time, as if you've never left.  I hear songs that I loved while Nick and I were dating and it brings back so many emotions and I can remember exactly how I was feeling.

I love that I can be having a bad day and driving in my car and I can turn on a song, blast the music, and sing my little heart out, and without fail it always makes me feel better.

I love how putting a slideshow of pictures to music can intensify the feelings of the pictures and almost bring it to life.

In my next life I'm going to come back a famous singer.
