The Power of Song

Singing, it can be as simple as that.  Songs can allow you to forget, you can relate, or sometimes just dance the night away.  When you are down, sometimes all you need is a good song to bring you back up.  Music can be magical, if you let it be.

You know what I’m talking about when I say that everyone has the favorite song, the song that when it comes on you forget about all your problems and everything bringing you down.  When the music comes on you drop everything, turn up the volume on the stereo and break out singing and dancing.  The minute it comes on you forget why you were crying and just let go for three minutes.

There are also those songs that seem to tell your life story.  You can sit there and listen to the words and think, “That was written about me.”  You might break out singing or just sit there and listen, it might bring tears to your eyes or make you remember happy times, whatever it is it is telling your story.

Then there are the songs that the minute they come on you just break out dancing.  They might not have great lyrics but they have just the right beat, just the right tempo to break it down.  Those are the songs you listen to at night when pulling all-nighters and trying to stay awake.  Those are the songs you listen to with friends well laughing the night away.

No matter how you see music, it can be magical.  It can help you forget, remember, or just get down.  Music is everything, even if you don’t realize it.
