Music has its own exceptional magic attached to it. It can make you want to dance, sing, smile or even cry. It relaxes and comforts many, and some say it has the ability to even soothe the most savage beast.
It has this amazing ability of touching people beyond mere words.
So as I sit here and listen to several John Mayer albums on repeat, somehow a Huey Lewis song, ‘The Power of Love’ has randomly been included into my playlist.
Every time I hear this song it takes me back 10 years, holding a never failing smile to my face, many nostalgic thoughts of roller-skating and bright white skates are drawn together with pink laces and the dim lights of the roller-skating rink. We would skate for hours, falling and laughing in timeless turns, everything enriched by that very song.
It’s amazing how songs can elicit memories, smells, images and thoughts.
Simple notes, keys and tones have so much expression and power to touch even the most distant thoughts.
I guess it is a fact of observation that music and songs vary to a considerable degree in what music can mean to people, and in what they get out of it.
But all in all, music has the power to communicate to the soul in ways that words alone can not.
