Music of the Heart

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE SONG? OR A FAVORITE BAND? OR SINGER?
I THINK WE ALL DO...
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW MUSIC EFFECTS YOUR MIND?
A MEMORY WILL BE BROUGHT BACK...
YOU CAN CLOSE YOUR EYES AND BE TRANSPORTED, LIKE A TIME MACHINE.
I LOVE THAT.

I USED TO LAY IN THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF MY STEREO WITH CDS STREWN ACROSS THE FLOOR LISTENING FOR HOURS. SINGING ALONG... SOMETIMES CRYING, SOMETIMES LOST IN THE MEMORIES OF WHAT A CERTAIN SONG MEANT.
WHO IT WAS THAT MADE THAT SONG SPEIAL IN MY LIFE. OR THE EVENT THAT CATAPULTED THAT SONG INTO THE "FOREVER TOP LIST" OF MY MIND!

MUSIC IS SO THERAPUTIC... IT CAN LIFT YOU UP. CLEANSE YOUR SOUL... HELP YOU WORK THROUGH THE TOUGHEST MOMENTS IN YOUR LIFE. IT INSPIRES ME! I CAN BE TOTALLY DRAGGING AND TURN ON A FAVORITE AND IT MAKES THE ENERGY SOAR!

I GUESS THOSE OF US FROM THE GEN-X CROWD ARE DIFFERENT... THE 80'S WERE AMAZING! MUSIC WAS TOTALLY AWESOME! AND I FIND I STILL NEED THAT AROUND! AND I NEED IT LOUD! TURN IT UP!!! SO I CAN FEEL IT ALL THE WAY TO MY SOUL!
THERE IS A GREAT HAPPINESS THAT COMES FROM THAT! HEAVEN HELP THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW THE JOY THAT MUSIC CAN BRING...

I CHALLENGE YOU TO FIND IT... IT WILL BE SOMETHING THAT STICKS WITH YOU FOR ALL TIME!
PEACE TO ALL...
GO JAM!
