I Love Music...Sweet Sweet Music

I am always amazed at the power of music. I don’t know how I forget because I listen to India Aire each morning she puts me in a great mood. But a few weeks ago, I was driving to work and Boyz II Men’s It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday came on and I burst into tears because I was immediately taken back to my grandmother’s funeral and to my cousin’ funeral 8 months later. Although that was briefly a sad moment, there are other times where I experience nostalgia, or I fall deeper in love with my man when a certain songs come on the radio. Music can make you sing til your voice goes hoarse, make you dance til your feet hurt, it can make two people who are strangers nod their head simultaneously. I love music so much that I do crazy things like song association. You know, somebody says something and automatically a song pops up in my head. I even created a soundtrack for my memoir I love music so much.  Everybody’s life should have a soundtrack. What’s on your soundtrack???
