Such a simple sentence. Such a beautiful statement. Such a powerful thought.
It actually comes from Hunter Hayes. It is the name of his video blog. I may have to steal it from time to time.
The love of music is something that I have a hard time putting into words. I have a hard time describing the feelings that come over me when the right song comes on at just the right time. For me, it is like describing the feeling on your wedding day, the feeling of a perfect sunset, the feeling of reaching a goal that you never thought you would. It is almost impossible.
Music can touch us in crazy ways. Music can make us angry, sad, happy, calm, anxious - you name it. And you can play the exact same song, in the exact same setting for every person - and no two people will experience the exact same thing. We bring our backgrounds, our emotions, our thoughts into everything we hear. I would expect no different.
I grew up with music. My house had music playing, my father would make up songs, my mother played the flute. I learned to play brass (mainly trumpet and euphonium) and piano. I don't play any of it with great skill, but I do enjoy it. I also sing and now play in a bell choir. Once again, no great talent, but enjoyable.
When you have the right combination of words, lyrics, and setting - there isn't much better. No easier way to sooth a troubled soul, no better way to express your heart.
A lot of people that I know think that I am a bit crazy and a bit obsessive - after all I am going to every concert that I can get to, and buying new music all the time - but music is just something amazing. A thing of beauty that I can't find in many other places. Others find this feeling in great art, in nature, in hobbies - for me - it's music. Truly, it's that simple.
So - after much hunting - I think I found it. The song to describe my love of music. The song that helps put all of this rambling into words. "Read My Mind" by Keaton Simons.
I am so glad you like music and finding such enjoyment from it!
