Music Means Something...

A few friends have been passing around some posts on Social Media lately in regards to the music they listen to.  It has me loving everything about life and what it's supposed to be.  A few people have asked for people to share their favorite songs so that they could listen to them, others have said that to truly know them they would have to understand the music they listened to and I felt that so deep in my soul. Music Means Something... 

 

Some people know a song, sing a long and it's familiar.  Others feel the music.  It means something to them.  It connects deeply to some situation in their life either right now or in their past.  We relate to music.  The words are part of our life and sometimes they say the things we want to say without us actually speaking the words.  Music Means Something... 

When we really sit down to think about it, music is everywhere in our life.  When we first come into the world the hospital plays a little song across the intercom to let everyone know a baby is born.  Our parents sing lullabies to us to calm our cries and help us go to sleep.  We go through school learning songs like "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and "Three Little Speckled Frogs"... we even learn "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" to show our parents how amazing we are at our Christmas Programs every year. Music Means Something... 

Later in life, we study music in High School, we decide if the "cool kids" are in music or not and take that leap of faith.  We might learn an instrument and share our voice with others.  The High School Musical is a big event every year, our parents brag about us if we are one of the music kids or band kids and of course they believe we are the best one on stage.  Music Means Something...   

When we graduate High School we have a Class Song.  What was your Class Song?  Was there a song you dedicated to your parents?  I remember the song we dedicated to our parents, I cry every time I hear it.  The song just rings true still today.  The lyrics are so full of truth when it came to our parents.  I still see my parents this way and even as I write I'm starting to tear up.  The song was, "Because you Loved Me" by Celine Dion.  The part that really hits home are the lyrics.. 

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldn't speak

You were my eyes when I couldn't see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldn't reach

You gave me faith 'cause you believed

I'm everything I am

Because you loved me

Music Means Something...

Where does music play a part in your life?  I talk to people daily about music and I've had people who say that they don't really think about it, but I'm challenging  you to really sit and think about music and how you listen to it.  How do you sing along to a song?  Do you hum a tune as you're sitting in a car?  When you're at work or out in the tractor planting and harvesting does a song just come to mind as you're thinking of someone or something you went through this week?  Music is what feelings sound like.  Read that again....  MUSIC IS WHAT FEELINGS    SOUND  LIKE.  Music makes us feel, it means something.  We can express our anger, our happiness, our sad.  Where words fail, music speaks.  

Use your music to speak, take a break, listen and I promise it will help you through your day.  Share the song that's getting you through something right now.  Happy, sad or mad.  I want to hear what's helping you.  Music means something to everyone.  Share it, love it and listen to it...

Right now this is the most relatable lyrical song I have had on replay lately.  I discovered it a couple of weeks ago and I just can't let it go... it embraces so many things about life and how I relate it to music in my life.  It's a daily player for me.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

You're music to my eyes

I had to listen just to find you

I'd like for you to let me sing along

Give you a rhythm you feel

Music Means Something... Keep listening, it's there.  <3
