Music. It can bring thousands, even sometimes millions of people to the same place and can even make them all feel the same emotions. It’s such a power that musicians, song writers, and performers hold over all of the world. If you sit down and think about it, it’s amazing and awe-inspiring.
Music is therapy and a mood setter. I am most certainly not the only one who uses music to heal or express my excitement or any other emotion that I can possibly express. So, today I’d like to share my favorite songs for any particular emotion, situation, or moment in life!
