m-u-s-i-c!

Music. Great invention. Divine. I let it travel through me. Let it inspire me in an unique way. I love music. I need it. Everyday, I wake up with a song in mind. A melody. A far away tune that brings me memories. Music ties everything up. We make friends due to music. We even fall in love 'cause of it. Whenever I listen to one of my favourite songs (isn't that great? to say 'my' songs?), I feel something. Like I listened to it for the very first time. And I just let it work its magic. I may be feeling like singing or not, but the song I choose will always have that effect on me. An effect that I know by heart, and yet every time is different, like a first time, each time.
I have learnt many things from music. Have learnt not to give up, and in some cases to do give up, to step aside.
Most times a song has had the power to change my mood, not always for better, but even there you can see how powerful this ancestral gift of God is.
So let's just enjoy, and be fed by the rythm, the sensations and the everyday poem, sang by the everyday artist. It's just magic. You feel the same? Good, 'cause then I know that you'll do this trip with me, and if we get lost, we'll simply listen to the wise melody, and that'll do.
