Video killed the radio star? I don’t think so. Music is more relevant and important now than it’s ever been. Throughout histories, down through the ages and eons, in times of political, economical and personal, emotional stress, music has been turned to as a point of relief and release.
When you’re in a bad mood, what do you do? Turn on the radio and probably turn it up. When lost in sadness, one puts on soft and soothing tunes to ease the pain or simply to have a voice to cry to. When we’ve won a victory we sing a chant. And at every restaurant, party, cross country drive or grocery store we have music. Why? Because music is the soundtrack to our lives. I’ll bet if you look back to your favorite summer you’ll have at least one song that goes with it. How about Christmas? New Year? Your first kiss or first dance with your true love.
Movies my play a huge roll in all of our lives, I don’t deny it. But nothing in this world is more personal and connecting in the same moment than music. Listen well!
Thanks for reading.
