Music & lyrics.

I have probably mentioned this before in a blog long long ago, but quite simply, I find it fascinating how when sometimes you can't find the words to describe how you're feeling or your mind is sitting in a state of numbness not entirely sure what to think, but then a song can come a long and sum up your emotional and mental state in a verse, chorus and a bridge.

There's a lot of songs I listen to that I think "those lyrics really are exactly how I feel about that" but a lot of the time the music can speak for itself. Be it as simple as a key change, a drum beat kicking in or the sounds of someone picking on a guitar - sometimes it can reduce me to tears. Sometimes.

I am thankful to trust in a higher power who is in control of my life, but here on earth as a human being I'm not quite sure where I'd be without music and songs. It can help your heart to release it's longings, it can trigger your brain to question, it can help your soul to realise what it really feels. And for us humans, if there's something that can help open our eyes to our everyday realities while being easy on the ears, then I think that can only be a good thing.
