Feel the music.

There have been a few pieces, composers, or groups throughout my life that have just moved me. Moved my soul. Opened my mind. Touched my heart. Hopefully, you know the kind of music I mean. A song that you can hear anywhere, anytime, and from the first bars, your heart skips a beat. Like a deep breath after being underwater too long. You inhale its rhythms, its melodies, its words… and somehow all is right in your world again. It speaks to you – says everything you wish you could say and more. It is almost tangible, this feeling. You feel the music inside you. You can't help but move. You can't help but sing. For me, sometimes these experiences have been songs of praise in church. Sometimes they were a beautiful classical piece being played on the piano. Sometimes they were songs on the radio not frequently played. Sometimes they were just melodies or chords being played on a lone guitar. Music is one of life's greatest pleasures, one of our greatest gifts. Seek it out. Feel it. Sing it. Share it. Experience the bliss of a perfect melody and lyrics that speak to your soul and the feeling of completely letting go and just letting the music move your body as you dance in a world at least temporarily all your own. There's scarcely anything better.
