Many times I have sat down at the piano, played the music I loved, and healed my soul. Music has a cathartic quality. I've cried for ten minutes straight while playing songs from Les Miserables. I've played other songs loud and fast to get out some anger. Mostly I play songs for the pure joy they bring.
So true! I don't play as much as I used to though. When I am listening to my ipod on walks, sometimes I'll play a song several times because it helps get out some negative emotion or because it makes me feel really good.
ReplyDeleteI have some favorite songs I'll listen to over and over too. Music really speaks to the soul.
