Music is an amazing thing. Most people take music for granted. It is something that is on in the car on the drive to work or school, and it is something that plays while you are working around the house or while hanging out at a party. The true power of music goes unnoticed by many pairs of ears.
Music has the power to induce so many emotions: happiness, sadness, excitement, pity, etc... Good music makes you not only feel the emotions caused by the lyrics, but it also makes you feel the emotions caused by the music itself. Meaning the structure of the music; chord progressions, changing mode and stuff like that. To a trained musician all these things do not get taken for granted because we know what to look for, but to others it makes you feel things and you cannot completely understand why (in all reality we do not know "why" we just understand how certain sounds make one feel).
Regardless of whether or not one knows the theory behind music, it can really make a positive impact in someones life. It can help with getting through rough times or it can just add to the happiness. When times are sad, music can help express the feelings that are being felt, which, I believe helps with the healing. Until next time, I am going to listen to a lullaby because it is late, or rather, it's early...
