“Music expresses that which cannot be put into words
and that which cannot remain silent.”- Victor Hugo.
Every song tells a story, the story of the heart of
its writer. A song is a fairy
tale...a story of hope, no matter what the
outcome. Capturing its listeners with a “Once upon a time” benevolence. And
without meaning to you feel yourself swaying along to the tale of “Once upon a
song.”
Whether you’re humming joyfully with a spring in
your step, hiding under your desk with fear from some scary metal, or singing
wholeheartedly to the newest song of the summer, music will change the way that
you look at life.
Growing up I was classically trained in the violin
and piano and was many a time afforded the chance to recite Mozart and
Beethoven. These composers were of course classical music geniuses who built
the foundation on which all other music is now created. Without the principles
with which these symphonies were so artfully produced, music as we know it
today would never have existed.
Imagine a life without Cole Porter accompanying
mankind through the twenties, a life without the ingenuity of Freddie Mercury
and Queen bringing inspiration to aspiring musicians around the world, or a
life without Miley Cyrus bringing hope to teenagers hoping to become famous.
Most artists these days do what they do for fame,
but at the end of the day it’s the minds of the people who simply let go and disappear
into the world of their imagination where anything can happen.
Life would not be the same without a tune in your
head or a beat in your foot. Without the tune of your life threatening to burst
out day after day life simply could not be, because music expresses that which
cannot be put into words and that which cannot remain silent.
