Musica Gloria

Say what you may, i guess, after prayer, Music is the best healer of the wounded, lonely soul...May God always bless good music, for they have the power to transform ur day from the routinely mundane to a wildly optimistic one. Be you sad, be you happy, be you hurt, be you angry, be you depressed, be you lonely, there is always something out there in the airwaves that would seep in through that chest of yours and tug at your heart, beckoning it to fulfillment. Aaaaaaah! the pleasure is just.... :)

I am on holiday at home. I aint lonely, but i am bored. And my usual bunch of friends aint all around to lighten up this otherwise restless soul, and therefore, i turn to the net to relieve my emptiness. I go thru whatever audio files i have, and i come to this folder where i had songs that i have been listening to for the past 10 years. Classics. Memories.

As i begin to listen to them one by one, i am transported back to the era during which these songs got released. Through this random thought of mine, memories come back crashing in, reliving moments long forgotten, feelings long ignored, friends long appreciated, memories that deserved retrospect. Soon the focus goes off the song, as you close your eyes, and your life plays itself out like a dream, with the song as a background music. The strings of memories play itself out like a slow composition, which lasts long after the song ends. Flashbacks of happiness, sadness, bittersweet joy, so many lessons found when you look back.

I love music. It keeps my sanity in check. It reminds me of the person I am. It motivates the creative side of me. It reminds me of the past. And it always makes my day, no matter how i feel. The complexities of several pieces, always manage to keep you in awe. It is a reminder that for all the pains that man has inflicted upon himself, it is up to man to find a cure. Music is mine. :)
