After being convinced by multiple sources that I should start blogging, I caved... So here it is, my first post. I have to admit, this feels a little weird, but I think I could grow to like it.
Anyway, my topic for today is the power of music. Why? Cause within the past few months I've found myself listening to more and more music any chance I have. The tiniest little bit of free time pops up and I'm humming along to the new Taylor Swift single or belting out one of Adele's masterpieces in my car (embarrassing, i know, but come on, we all do it)... It's been said that music has healing power and I'd never really known how true this could be until recently. Whether I'm just feeling down in the dumps, or something much worse, I turn to those who have been in my spot and turned their situation, frustration, or depression into something progressive, and something written to be shared with the whole world. I take comfort in the beautifully and carefully chosen lyrics and melodies of artists like A Fine Frenzy, Marie Digby, and Sara Bareilles and even the hardcore beats bumping in the background of songs like "Ninjas"in Paris every so often. Regardless of the emotion I'm feeling at that exact moment, I know that I can always turn to my Ipod to coincide with my mood.
Until next time....xoxox -ALG
