It's funny how the world would be so empty without music. I can look back and never think of a time when I haven't needed it. It's like, right up there with food, water, oxygen, and cheesy Harry Potter books. He who sings scares away his woes. A cookie to anyone who knows for me who said that quote and is correct.
I can listen to any song and it takes me back to another time. They take me back to times when I struggled, to when I was on top of the world, to the days where I cried myself to sleep every single night at three in the morning. There are songs that lifted me to another world for all of three minutes. There are songs that could make me cry all over again, or get up and dance.
An African proverb - "When music changes, so does the dance." What if all I had to do was just listen to a hopeful song instead of one dripping in pain? What if, what if.
