It's no secret, I love music and I love to dance. Yesterday had some bumps. Wasn't a great day for me....I was driving home from the Chicago Department of Revenue (yay me! I have a bugillion parking tickets that do count even though my plates are out of state....though I was told differently...) who caught up with me recently. I was feeling pretty frustrated about things...it wasn't the first bump in the day...and then "Dynamite" by Tiao Cruz came on the radio. I turned up the radio and started my jam! It was like everything in the world was made right in that moment. I just can't help but dance to that song...it's not optional...but also it pumps me right up and I feel like I can conquer the world! No joke. Watch out for it!
Then the day continued....reality set in again....got some discouraging news...and was back to feeling like I didn't like my day very much at all....and then I sat down at a piano and played two of my favorite songs. One, it feels really good to play the piano, I love it. Two, singing those words helps heal my heart. Again, I just felt like it helped get the bad out...or more accurately, let the good in.
As a singer/songwriter of sorts, obviously, I feel that songs can speak to the soul....they can empathize with your pain. They can help you find strength, they can inspire, they can express your feelings in a way that no other form can. I just was thinking about it and thought what a beautiful thing music can be. It can help fill your soul with the good stuff! (of course the opposite is true if you're listening to degrading and demoralizing stuff...so don't)
But here's a link to Tiao Cruz, go ahead get your jam on! Let the good in!
