Music has to be one of the most amazing things that life has to offer. For me, it has always been a way of expressing myself or even my own way of dealing with things. It has impacted my life in such a positive way that I am not so sure that I could live without it.

The cool thing about music is that there is literally a song for every situation. There are songs for partying, break ups and basically anything else that you could possibly think of. The reason that I think this is so important is because it allows you to relate in some sort of way. Whenever I am dealing with something and I hear a song that is even remotely relatable, I will keep playing it over and over. This is because its validation that someone has felt this way or understands what you are going through and whenever you listen to the song its as if they wrote it specifically for you. Sometimes there really isn't words for how I am feeling but an artist can somehow manage to find the words and write them so beautifully that I am just left in amazement. Then there are times that it's not even the words, it's literally how it sounds that is so satisfying.

Music can take you away from anything and also bring so many people together. Think about a concert scenario where there are thousands of people crowded together, all for the same reason. It’s as if within the crowd it is all strangers but as if you are all there together because of the mutual reason which is the music. It can be an escape from the everyday struggle or simply something to help make a great day a little brighter.

I feel as if I have such an emotional tie to music that it can be kind of scary. I am the type of person that listens to a song and tries to take away some sort of overall message or that gets almost attached to certain lyrics. Whenever I hear lyrics that I love its as if they hit down deep with me and stay with me for forever. You know how you may look to friends or others for advice or comfort, well I look to music. It’s a safety blanket for me and has helped me through all periods of my life. Having such a deep connection with music is great because music is something that will live on for forever. Putting everything into words on how music has impacted me seems almost impossible because the love for it is something I cannot really explain.
