How often have you felt you wanted to be alone and would just like to sit back and relax? Well I myself have that feeling sometimes. I turn to listening to good and inspirational music. Songs of yester years bring back sweet memories and lifts up the spirits.
Music is a form of an art and a medium of expressing one’s feelings and sentiments. According to Berthold Auerbach “music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” So true, since through music we express our deepest emotions. It wipes away the hurt, anger or the sadness that we feel burdened with.
We have different kinds of music that we can enjoy listening to depending on the mood we are in. There are songs about love that usually make us smile or even bring back some hurt because we somehow relate these songs to our present or past relationships. There are also songs that strengthen our faith and make us hold on to God. These songs make us realize that even how difficult life can be, there is still something we could look forward to or someone we could turn to. Furthermore there are music that soothes your nerves because of their smooth and relaxing tempo.
There are songs like “Butterfly kisses” and “Dance with my father again” that really bring you back to memories of the past and events happily shared with a dear relative most particularly a parent. Songs like “Ain’t no mountain high” somehow gives us the push to strive and fight for something or someone in spite of obstacles.
Music can be considered as part of our lives. It gives colour to a very dull living condition or a very meaningless relationship. It gives us the motivation we need to keep moving on. The lyrics are so meaningful that we seem to have zest in our lives simply by finding time to listen to songs from rock to country music to love songs and up to even religious and inspirational songs.
