What would our lives be without music? I am certain that is a question many of us ask ourselves more often than not. It’s at that moment when everything seems to be falling apart, and the only comfort you gain is from the strumming of Joni Mitchell’s guitar, or the calmness of Chan Marshall’s voice that truly allows you to appreciate “its” power. When you are at the height of happiness and tears of joy uncontrollably stream down your face as the beat of some old Beatles song plays on “repeat” in your head. What would these moments mean without music? Would they have the same significance? Would they bare the same effect? Would the memory fade us, if that song didn’t resurrect that time? Or, how about the connection we feel to so many around the world listening to the same song, as it takes on personal meaning of all capacities. It is overwhelming when I think of the power carried in ones words, and chords.
So, today I’ve decided to salute the musician, the songwriter, the song-singer, and the power of that beloved art we call music.
