If music be the food of love, play on

Jess's blog inspired me to write a little somethin somethin about music.

There are several things I love about music and im going to talk about them here

First of all. Theres always a band or a song for a specific emotion. If your sad, you can pick out your favorite sad song. It could go the other way too. If your sad you can pick out your favorite cheer up song.
Music can change your emotion. It can make us jump from a state of happiness to one of deep sadness and solitude, all in less than five minutes.

Music is a way of bringing back memories. For me a specific band or song can bring back such vivid memories. even if someone says a peice of a lyric it can bring me back to a certain time like it was just yesterday. Certain songs remind me of special moments or people in my life. And it brings joy. I love memories of people that I miss. If im missing someone I can just pop in a cd that reminds me of that person.
Music is great that way. I think all of us have songs we love for the connection it gives us to another person, whether they are people we love, family or friends. I've had songs in my relationships that have summed up my feelings and passion. Now they're songs I hate, for that very reason.

Music is the only form of communication that bypasses the mind and goes straight to the heart. Music has such impact on people. It can move crowds and speak to the heart, it can bring people together.
The beat can pound and you can feel it right in your gut like your sticking your finger in a outlet, a power surge just flows through you. It's awesome

Music provides a beat just to dance and go nuts. enough said.

Theres just so much diversity i dont think anyone can not like music. Theres something out there for everyone.

Each song is like a time capsule of associations. What kills me is when it's a new song you've never heard before, and you feel it at this very moment capturing the essence of it all and crystallizing it in your memory. It's a very powerful thing we you KNOW it's happening right in front of your eyes - to know that years from now, you will always remember this moment if for no other reason than this song

The intensity, it's too much to convert in to words. Some things are bigger than language.

Ok im starting to sound too smart. im leaving it at that

Feel the music
