“Without music, life would be a mistake.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
I could live the rest of my life without television, but take music from me and you may as well send me into my next incarnation. Music has a way of taking what was wrong and making it right.
After a long day the right song choice is the consummate escape to find my way back to myself. Closing the car door in the office parking lot, starting the engine and letting that perfect song selection caress my mind is such a welcome close to any hectic day.
When you find inspiring music and let it seep into your soul, it’s much more than just listening to a song. Those notes and harmonies can take you out of your current existence and transport you to a new state of being. The songs become so much more than notes on a page, they become transcendent.
I have a very eclectic compilation of music that I enjoy and, each day that I want to peel back the layers of my hectic life and just relax, the song is never the same. My diverse taste allows me a greater freedom in finding that right choice to help assuage the tension of every day life. Those varying notes in that array of genres is the portfolio of my relaxation and escape.
I don’t ever defend my vast taste in music, I embrace it. I am never at a loss for a tune that will suit the moment I am in, and that gives me a contented feeling. My music can match any mood and any circumstance, and I will never be afraid to admit the extreme sides to my play list.
Recently that melodic portal of liberation has been opened by the beautiful tones of four soulful voices provided by The Tenors. Music will always have a soothing quality but when you find the right blend of melody and harmony the result is an emotionally soothing journey. My goal is to meet these four Canadian boys!
Music is much more than just notes on a page. Music is a memory. Music is a feeling. Music is the collection of notes at the heart of your soul.

There are people who fell absolutely nothing when they hear any music.
I feel very very bad for them.
Me too! I love when music gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up!
I couldn’t agree more!!
Thank you….I’m glad I’m not alone in my addiction. 🙂
I agree with your thoughts on the powers of music, but I also wonder how much overlap there is between our respective eclectic collections? 🙂 I do quite enjoy some classical at times, but what I usually find most soothing is harsh electric guitars and deep, hard thumping bass.
If I went through the alphabet I could go from Akon to Barbara Streisand to The Tenors, Usher and ZZ Top. That might be an interesting post…..hmmmm
I don’t think I could survive without music either.
Amen!
Let the music of life play on!!
