I believe that music
can change the way one feels in an instant.
Music. Music. It is such a powerful word, yet so underappreciated It isn't one of those words that when you look at it, you think, “Wow, what a
great word. What a beautiful, harmonious word.” I think that that is because there are so
many genres of music in so many different styles; no one is going to like all music. And practically everyone
listens to, or has some affiliation, with music, and if you are like me and have reservations about a lot of people, well, that can put a damper on the word as well. By
this I mean only that I have annoying memories of annoying people when I look
at the word. But let’s get past that word, music. Let’s go inside of it.
There is this feeling that I get, it is such a charismatic, eerie, marvelous feeling, when certain music comes on. I cannot pinpoint what music exactly it is, because it is never just one kind. But many times, if the situation is just right, and the music is just spellbinding enough, I feel like I am in a movie. That also can get a negative vibe, “I feel like I’m in a movie.” Let’s change that word. I feel like I am part of some independent film that never made its way into theatres because it wasn't supported by some big-name company, but it should have been because it was so much better than Twilight. For example, I was on the beach at night in a sweater, the same night I was star-gazing. My friends and I were walking through the sand as the cool wind whipped through our hair and the portable radio was playing some song, which I have yet to forget, but it was such a great song, and we just walked and listened and felt. I felt magical. It didn't feel real. Hence the movie vibe. I felt like I was in that reoccurring scene of Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind when the couple are on the beach in the snow. I didn't ever want that moment to be over; I just wanted to keep walking, keep listening, keep feeling. Forever.
This unreal feeling has happened to me on multiple occasions, and hopefully it happens to other people too. Partly because if not then you have no idea what I am talking about, and partly because I wish other people could experience this too. That is, without the help of some narcotic. I must assure you that there was no use of drugs on my part, because every ignorant person thinks that they need drugs to be able to have a moment like this. You really don’t, just something that you love emphatically.
Music can do wonders, and it can change the mood or feeling of anything. Maybe your dog just ran away, and then “Who Let the Dogs Out?” comes on. It’s a stupid song, but because of your current situation, it probably makes you upset. But say your day just sucks, and your road rage is on a dangerous level. So you jab that radio button with all the pressure in your angry little thumb, and something incredibly beautiful floods your car, and suddenly, you slow down fifteen miles and lighten your grip on the wheel. You feel better instantly. Music.
