Music is what Feelings Sound Like

It’s like lyrics tell stories to our Lives. You know how you can hear a song and it makes you feel a certain way? Sometimes you’ll pass a song on your playlist cause you’re not in the mood. Other times it’s the perfect time your shuffle found that specific song. I have had this one song in my itunes, thanks to Daddio making me a CD in high school, that I never gave a chance. Don’t know why just never did. Until today and today was the perfect time. It was beautiful and sad.

You know how people find ways to leave us through life. If it was planned or wasn’t. One minute they’re here and the next they’re gone. Some affect you more than others. Some you couldn’t imagine life without and still can’t. Life does go on without them, but you’re not the same. Losing people you love changes you. They may appear in your dreams. I think of it as visiting, but others find it haunting. The same effect with a song, for me. Maybe I skipped a certain song a while ago, maybe I didn’t, but then again it plays at the right time. When something happened to change us or when we’re thinking of certain situations. It can be heartbreaking or perfect.

We are challenged in life every day. Some challenges more noticeable than the others. I’ve been convinced being Chamblee High’s Class of 2001 is a challenge in itself. Music has help me through about every situation. When I was sad after a long-term break up “Life is Wonderful” reminded me that though it is rough now, Life is Wonderful regardless. And every time I find out another friend has left us, there’s always a song that speaks to me directly through it’s lyrics. 


Just like that, without notification “Life is Wonderful” has made it’s turn on my iPod and I’m smiling.
