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???
Great Post! My soundtrack has everything from hardcore rap to classical music.
