Do you ever feel so deep in the water you are convinced you're going to drown? Do you believe you will never be able to empty your lungs of the water pulling you under?

Sometimes, we must turn to the music, for it is the only thing that possesses a possible savior that could lift us higher than the bottom of the sea.
