More often than not, music defines my life's moments. I've shared this many times with people close to me. This is one reason why music is very important to me, and I am definitely one of those people who cannot live without it. At any given day, music is able to successfully set my mood. It has been a healer, a confidant, a companion, and more importantly, a friend. It can easily transcribe my emotions into words, give a definition to feelings I have yet to understand, and express those I have yet to acknowledge are there. Most times, it knows me even better than I even know myself.
My life is music set to motion.
There are some songs that remind me so much not just of special people, but of moments I shared with them. When a particular song plays, these moments come alive in my mind and for a minute or two, I have to hold my breath and close my eyes because it doesn't just remind me of a person, or a place but of a feeling. Because for a moment there, the feeling returns and I can truly feel it in my heart. At times, it feels so real and so fresh that when my mood calls for it, I allow the feeling to linger a little more than I should and let the moments play in my mind. I let myself get lost in the feeling again, lost in the moment, even if only for a while. Most times, I end up letting out a sigh, and then a smile. Grateful that even though the moments have already come to pass, I can still vividly remember how good a certain person made me feel at one time, how a certain place made me feel like it's where I'm supposed to be, or how a moment made me wish it would never end. Then it's gone. ;)
It's a long-standing love affair.
Music and me.
Now playing: Always Love (Nada Surf)

I always feel music is the best psychiatrist or therapist one can ever have. I would like to call THAT "silent therapy" but music is just filled with sound... duhh! haha!
But yeah, I like to listen to music to inspire me, get me excited, or cheer me up! It's still second to watching movies though! The act of watching a movie itself already takes my mind somewhere else.
Music has great power though. For some people, music is a culture.
For me, its not only the harmonious sound that makes a music great, but the lyrics play a big part too. Trying to understand the hidden meaning of the lyrics or trying to interpret them really gets me hooked too.
Don't get me wrong though.. sometimes, I still just want to bounce to the music! :P
Yes, music is therapeutic in so many ways. I especially like how certain songs take me back to certain moments in time, certain moments in my life. I'm sure it's happened to you as well.
And wow, you bouncing? I can imagine! haha.
