The connections I've made because of it, the conversations that have sparked because of it, the nights I've stayed up because of it...I couldn't even begin to explain how much music means to me. How much it has changed and impacted me. The deepest connections I've made have been with people I can just sit and talk music with. Most people take the rhythms or words that make music for granted, they hear it but don't listen. And I just don't understand how anyone could willingly go a day without the sound of a good song. Because every now and then, there are these special moments. Where the right song, at the right time, for the right situation, seems to find you. And in the most striking of ways, it just digs deep and revives the soul. And it feels so damn good. For a time, there's clarity. An understanding that somehow, no, you're not alone. There's something so amazing, and simple, and complex about finding these moments, these connections. About being able to appreciate that there are already pre-existing slews of words for the feelings you yourself couldn't even seem to explain. Music has this undeniable power to move and uplift. To change your mood, your attitude. What music has done to me, I could only wish I could do on to others. I couldn't hold a note or play the keys if you asked me to, but I am so forever grateful to have even the slightest connection with something so damn beautiful.
