Sweet Music


Music is amazing isn't it? It has such a healing power. I'm a Hip/Hop/R&B/Jazz/Soft Rock chick myself. No matter what I'm going through I can always turn on my music and get lost in it. I know that music lovers across the world can share my sentiment on the subject. I mean for me its Lauryn Hill, Mary J, Jay Z, and so many more artists that just inspire me to wanna write, sing, laugh, cry; music provokes so many different emotions in me. I think my love for music came from my dad because he is the Music Man. I mean he has every album, and yes I did say album, you could ever think of. It's just something about a piano, or violin that calms the spirit or someone singing or spitting a bar that's so relatable you question whether or not you wrote the song yourself and are about to sue the tail off of someone lol. But on a serious note, I would be pretty lost and confused without music. Music, well good music is timeless and can speak so many different volumes to so many different people.

Music has gotten our country through many difficult times throughout history. My ancestors used to sing to one another during slavery to help to motivate one another and make each other faithful that things would get better. Music has the ability to speak to people even if there are no words. There is something that is universally relatable about music that speaks to one's soul. I feel like I have a personal love affair with my music that no one can understand.

Tell me what you think....
