I find it amazing what music can do to you. What a simple song can make you feel. I love the way lyrics will bring you back to a place in life once lived. A melody will offer you a ride to revisit a time forever in your past. I love that a Teddy Geiger song takes me back to this past summer. It reminds me of how I grew the closest with two of my very best friends. It reminds me of county fairs with cotton candy. It brings me to a place where the sun is shining and I can still hear the waves crashing into the sand on the beach. I love how a Motion City Soundtrack song relocates me to a venue where I experienced one of the best concerts of my life. I remember that I danced like I never danced before, and giggled & squeeled with my best friend as we took in our surroundings. I find it comforting how a Jason Morant song floats me on a cloud back to the time of pure pain. When all I could do was take each day a step at a time, and pray along with each passing minute that my heart wouldn't shatter right there in public. I remember falling asleep each night to the song with a tear soaked pillow beneath my head. I love how a song by The Scene Aesthetic just simply makes me happy. It reminds me of a point in time where life was just..good. When every day was something exciting and I skipped along greatfully experiencing every joy and sorrow life threw at me. I love how a song can take you to a specific second in time, a second where lips curved into a smile, a second where a tear crawled down your cheek, or a second where your heart stopped beating. I love how a song can take you to a specific day, a day when your life changed, a day when you felt the most alive, or the day that bliss blew in the wind. And I love how a song can take you to just a simple feeling. A place where time isn't something that matters, but where emotions take all control. When amounts of pain, or romance, or excitement, or maybe an air of stillness occured. Music is carried along with you for your whole life. It's another form of a picture - a moment frozen forever in your memory. It's an experience you can grasp that is nothing less than gorgeous.
